Golf in Cambodia
The destination most golfers have not discovered yet. Phokeethra Country Club paired with the temples of Angkor — a combination that genuinely cannot be found anywhere else on earth.
The destination most golfers have not discovered yet. Phokeethra Country Club paired with the temples of Angkor — a combination that genuinely cannot be found anywhere else on earth.
The quietest golf in Southeast Asia, and the most surprising. Two trips, both an hour's flight from Thailand or Vietnam.
Siem Reap has two championship courses and we play both. Angkor Golf Resort is Nick Faldo's design and the finest course in Cambodia; Phokeethra is the country's first, host of the Johnnie Walker Classic and the Cambodian Open, and kept in immaculate condition. Playing a world-class round in the morning and visiting Angkor Wat at sunset in the same day is something no other destination on earth can offer. Siem Reap does it effortlessly, and at a price point that makes the experience exceptional value.
Angkor Wat at sunrise or sunset is an experience that transcends the itinerary. Beyond the main temple, the jungle-covered ruins of Ta Prohm and the Bayon's carved faces reward those who explore. Siem Reap town has a good restaurant scene — the Old Market area offers the best dining, with the Pub Street area well-suited to golf groups winding down after a long day.
Phnom Penh has quietly become one of Southeast Asia's most interesting cities — its food scene, its riverfront setting and its complex history told with remarkable honesty. The golf here is genuinely strong: Vattanac Golf Resort is top class, one of the finest layouts in Cambodia, and a course that stands on its own merits rather than relying on the destination's cultural backdrop. Combine with Siem Reap for a complete Cambodia golf break, or use Phnom Penh as a compelling standalone destination for groups who want serious golf alongside real cultural depth.
The Phnom Penh riverfront at night is one of the more atmospheric settings in Southeast Asia — the confluence of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers, restaurants with views across the water, a bar scene that has grown considerably without losing its character. The Foreign Correspondents' Club terrace remains one of the great sunset spots in Asia. The city's Khmer cuisine has developed substantially — excellent options alongside strong international dining.
Dry season — cool mornings, clear skies, ideal playing conditions. November is particularly atmospheric — the Water Festival often falls here.
Heavy rain but the landscape turns dramatically green. Still visitable — a more intimate experience with fewer visitors at the temples.
Cambodia works well as a 7-10 night destination in its own right, or as part of a broader Southeast Asia itinerary combined with Thailand or Vietnam.
5 nights Siem Reap — Phokeethra (2 rounds), Angkor temples, optional day trip to Tonle Sap. The ideal introduction to Cambodia golf.
5 nights Siem Reap (Phokeethra, Angkor), fly to Phnom Penh for 4 nights (Vattanac, Chhun On, Mekong riverfront). The complete Cambodia experience.
Da Nang for Hoiana Shores and the central coast, Ho Chi Minh City for The Bluffs, then Siem Reap to finish. Vietnam's golf depth combined with Cambodia's extraordinary setting.
For golfers based in Singapore or regional Asian cities — short breaks to Siem Reap and Phnom Penh in Fairway Weekend format.
