 Golf holidays in Angkor Wat & Siem Reap are a new introduction, yet pioneerng golfers are finding it a fascinating tourist destination in which to play a few rounds. Golf is a relatively new pastime in Cambodia yet is developing fast. Until the mid 1990s golf was unheard of in the country, but with its entry in to ASEAN and top Cambodian officials meeting on a regular basis with their contemporaries in the more developed golfing Asian nations such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Thailand it was only a matter of time until the popularity of golf grew. And what more could a nation ask for as a golfing ‘ambassador’ than the Prime Minister himself – yes Cambodia’s Premier Hun Sen, is an avid golf player with a handicap of 15.
Golf in Siem Reap (the home of the mighty Angkor Wat temples) begain in early 2007 when the Sofitel Phokeethra Country Club opened, and this was followed in early 2008 by the Nick Faldo designed Angkor Golf Resort - it is claimed this course could emerge as not only the finest in Cambodia, but one of the best in the Asia-Pacific region. In 2009 Siem Reap’s third PGA-rated course, the Siem Reap Lake Golf Resort, opened making Cambodia a true golfing vacation destination.

Nick Faldo brings world class golf to Cambodia with the PGA standard championship Angkor Golf Resort which boasts a lengthy 7,230 yards and a 72 par. Located close to the heart of Siem Reap, the Angkor Golf Course features generous fairways, an impressively bold bunkering style, and greens with plenty of subtle undulations that not only encourage but reward a variety of approach shots. Faldo believes that golfers enjoy themselves most when they are challenged, and this is the underlying approach to his design style. However, at the same time he is fully aware of the wide range of abilities that golfers bring to the course and as such the Angkor Golf Course has plenty of teeing options. Taking into account the stunning natural surroundings the course has a commitment to protecting the environment. A fair but challenging course for all golfers.

Whilst playing you are never far away from reminders of the magnificent Angkor Empire as the course features the 10th century stone ‘Roluh’ bridge, a direct link to the country’s glorious past.
