The Sofitel-managed Phokeethra Country Club, Angkor Wat, adds to the world class golf now available in Cambodia. The golf course hosted the 2009 Johnnie Walker Classic and 2010 Cambodian Open
A combination of Paspalum grasses are used on both fairways and greens, which gives the golf course its deep green color and insures a high standard of course conditions all year round. The 7,145-yard, 18-hole course reflects Phokeethra Country Club’s dedication to creating an exclusive golfing experience.
The Siem Reap Booyoung Country Club (formerly Siem reap Lake Golf Resort) was the third international standard golf course to be opened in Angkor Wat. The $150 million US dollar course took 1 year to construct and is located only 6 kilometers from the center of Siem Reap town.
The course was designed by Kentaro Sato, the well-known Japanese golf course designer. No expense has been spared making the Siem Reap Booyoung Country Club the largest Angkor Wat golf complex. Several high profile local tournaments have been held at the course including visits by dignitaries such as the Cambodian prime minister.
The world class Faldo designed Angkor Golf Resort is the best golf course in Cambodia and by a wide margin. The six-time major winner Nick Faldo himself, received a blessing from local monks and then opened the golf course in December 2007, his first golf course in Cambodia. The Angkor Golf Resort brings Cambodia squarely onto international golf destination map.
Tess, fairways, and greens are all maintained as what you would expect from a Faldo designed and IMG managed golf course. The latest Paspalum turf insures excellent year-round playing conditions.
The first Cambodia golf course opened in December 1996. The Cambodia Golf & Country Club is located 33 kilometers, west of Phnom Penh.
Set among 120 acres the 7000 plus yard Cambodia golf course was designed by Japanese and Taiwanese and lined by sugar palm trees, native fruit, and evergreen plants, flowers and rocks. Large and distant mountains in the background make for a relaxed day out golfing in Phnom Penh.
The Dara Sakor Golf Club is Cambodia’s first international casino complex with an associated golf club comprised of 54 holes; an 18-hole Ocean Course, an 18-hole Mountain Course, and an 18-hole Links Course.
Dara Sakor Golf Resort lies 200 kilometers down the coast from and east of the major southern Cambodian city Sihanoukville and Koh Kong province. It is a two and one half hour drive from the Sihanoukville International Airport. Phnom Penh is 100 kilometers to the north.
Garden City Golf Club opened in April 2013 and immediately emerged as one of the best golf courses in Phnom Penh. The par-72 golf course is laid out on 240 acres 15 kilometers northeast of downtown Phnom Penh. The course conditioning from the use of Seashore Paspalum turf and operations management consulting by IMG is excellent and comparable with the top courses in the region.
The layout has been conceived by architect Major General Weerayudth Phetbuasak, who also is responsible for excellent designs at Suwan and Sea Pines in Thailand and Phokeethra in Siem Reap. The overall design goal was to create a course that is tough for professional golfers yet playable for golfers of modest skill. The golf course with many moguls, mounds, and human-made hazards came from the otherwise featureless rice paddy fields. Large greens and water hazards on most holes characterize the strong palm-lined layout. From the 7,361-yard championship tees and with a little roll on the fairways, Garden City is a real test of golf.
Grand Phnom Penh Golf Club is a private members club and part of the Grand Phnom Penh International City. The golf course is located 20 minutes northwest of Phnom Penh and on the way to the airport. With little development away from the city, the air and climate tend to be fresher and well-suited for golf.
Jack Nicklaus designed grand Phnom Penh Golf Club. The 7,914-yard course is one of the best maintained in Phnom Penh with immaculate fairways and manicured undulated greens. The fairways are very wide, but significant earth-moving and mounding are featured around all the greens. The course is also relatively exposed, so wind, especially late in the day, can play havoc with a good score.
Close to the capital of Phnom Penh and only 8 kilometers from the Phnom Penh International Airport is the Royal Cambodia Phnom Penh Golf Club. The 7,075 yard golf course is spread out over 200 hectares and nestled in amongst rice paddies and coconut palms. Being so close to the capital it is a favorite with locals and expatriates. Moreover since opening in 1999 Royal Cambodia has hosted numerous dignitaries and celebrities. In fact it is Prime Minister Hun Sen's preferred course as he got a hole-in-one at Royal Cambodia in 2004!
The Cambodia golf course emphasizes environmental protection as has preserved many of the original land features and used native palms, flowers and bushes to make the course shine. Moreover, since some of the course plays through natural wetlands there are many birds that graze in the on-course ponds and streams.
Sitting on the outskirts of Phnom Penh, Vattanac Golf Resort includes two contrasting Nick Faldo designed 18-hole golf courses located 15 kilometers from the center of Cambodia’s capital. The East Course is publicly accessible, while the West Course is a private members layout.
The par-72 East Course plays to over 7,400 yards and through scale models of pre-Angkorean structures including Preah Vihear Temple, Bayon Temple, and Angkor Wat. The design makes a unique combination of culture, leisure, and golf. Teeing areas provide for good views over the surrounding countryside and from the high points on the course. Vattanac is grassed with the latest Paspalum variety which ensures good golf conditions. Water comes into play on most holes, and the lack of elevation change is more than made up for in mounding, bunker complexes, and extensive landscaping.
