Phokeethra Country Club, managed by Sofitel, offers a compelling golf experience in Cambodia, conveniently located near Siem Reap International Airport. The course, known for hosting the Asian Tour's Johnnie Walker Cambodian Open, underwent significant renovations in 2018 to maintain its high standards. Its design incorporates elements of Cambodian culture, featuring the historic 'Roluh' bridge between the 9th green and 10th tee, a nod to the 11th-century Khmer empire.
The course spans 7,363 yards, with Bermuda grass on the greens and Paspalum on the fairways, ensuring excellent conditions throughout the year. The updated layout enhances playability with eight new greens, introducing fresh challenges, particularly on the back nine. Golfers will appreciate the strategic mix of par 3s, 4s, and 5s, where precise direction and long drives are key to scoring well. The standout 18th hole, with its double water carry to an island green, provides a memorable finish.
Practice facilities include dedicated pitching and putting greens near the clubhouse, ideal for pre-round warm-ups. The clubhouse, though modest, offers Sofitel-inspired service with a restaurant serving a delightful array of Western, Khmer, and Asian dishes. Additional amenities include comfortable locker rooms, showers, and a pro shop stocked with branded gear and souvenirs.
Angkor Golf Resort proudly stands as Cambodia's premier golfing experience, a masterpiece meticulously crafted by the legendary six-time major champion, Nick Faldo.

Visitors will discover that the turf, fairways, and greens are maintained to the impeccable standards expected from a Faldo-designed and managed course. The use of the latest Paspalum turf ensures consistently excellent playing conditions throughout the year, making it a truly exceptional place to enjoy a round of golf no matter the season.
Our Siem Reap golf course is designed to offer a rewarding and strategic challenge for golfers of all skill levels. While demanding thoughtful play on every hole, the layout is fair and enjoyable. Strategically positioned bunkers and water hazards are clearly visible from the tee, allowing for informed shot selection, and the greens feature subtle undulations that reward creativity and well-executed approach shots. Furthermore, the flexibility of daily pin positions, ranging from easy to challenging, and the availability of multiple tee box locations ensure that every golfer, from low to mid-handicappers, can tailor the course length to perfectly suit their game and enjoyment.
Prepare yourself for a memorable conclusion to your round with our final three holes, a signature Faldo creation that promises excitement and drama. The par-5 16th, a formidable 588-yard test, will challenge even the longest hitters to reach in two. The par-3 17th is the longest on the course and demands precision, with water guarding the right side of the green. Finally, the 440-yard par-4 finishing hole, with its slight left dogleg and water feature, offers a thrilling conclusion that is sure to create unforgettable moments. For an exceptional Cambodia golf holiday, including a visit to our 300-meter driving range to hone your skills, Angkor Golf Resort is the definitive destination you won't want to miss.
