34 SKETCHBOOK Phnom Penh City, Cambodia The twelfth hole on the forthcoming West course for a new club in Phnom Penh City, Cambodia, is a par three that will play over native vegetation, four bunkers and is bordered by palm trees to the left of the green. The layout will feature a rugged and natural design centered around large expanses of sand, dotted with islands of native grasses and groves of date trees, in contrast with the more formal East course that is also being built for the club. “The West will be highlighted with a strong variety of holes with massive sandy waste lows and the occasional landform that sometimes blinds tee shots to the wrong side of the wide fairway,” said Brian Curley, ASGCA, who has designed both courses.• Brian Curley, ASGCA Image: Brian Curley, ASGCA
