There are few places on Earth where you can play a round of golf in the morning and explore a 12th-century Wonder of the World in the afternoon. Siem Reap is that place. Once a dusty outpost, it has transformed into a sophisticated golf destination that rivals its larger neighbors. The city offers a serene, almost spiritual golfing experience, with courses carved out of rice paddies and ancient jungles. It is intimate, accessible, and uniquely Cambodian where the caddies greet you with a Sampheah (traditional bow) and the fairways are just minutes away from the legendary Angkor Wat.
Pattaya boasts quantity, but these three courses represent the undisputed quality.
Angkor Golf Resort The Faldo Standard Designed by Sir Nick Faldo, this is widely considered the best golf course in Cambodia. It is a flawless test of golf, maintained to an immaculate standard. The layout is modern and strategic, featuring generous fairways but devilishly tricky bunkering and undulations that demand precision.
The conditioning. It is often compared to top US PGA Tour venues for its pristine Paspalum turf.
Phokeethra Country Club History on the Fairways Managed by Sofitel, this was the first international-standard course in Siem Reap and the host of the Johnnie Walker Cambodian Open. It has a classic country club feel, playing through natural lagoons and featuring the restored “Roluh” bridge an ancient Khmer structure that dates back to the 11th century right on the course.
The Sweeping Lagoons. Water comes into play on all but one hole, making it a thrilling challenge for the brave hitter.
Siem Reap Booyoung Country Club The Garden Layout Designed by Kentaro Sato, this is a newer addition to the scene. It offers a stark contrast to the others with its wide, forgiving fairways and massive, parkland-style layout. It is lush, green, and designed to be playable and enjoyable for golfers of all handicaps.
The split fairways on several holes give you a “choose your own adventure” option off the tee.
You are at the doorstep of the Khmer Empire. Here is how to embrace it.
• Angkor Wat at Sunrise:
It is a cliché for a reason. Watching the sun rise over the lotus towers of Angkor Wat is a spiritual experience.
• Ta Prohm:
Visit the “Tomb Raider” temple, where massive silk-cotton tree roots have grown over and through the ancient stone walls.
• Phare, The Cambodian Circus:
This is not a typical circus. It is a high-energy mix of theater, dance, and acrobatics telling Cambodian folklore stories an absolute must-see.
• Fish Amok:
Cambodia’s national dish. It is a fragrant fish curry steamed in a banana leaf with coconut milk and kaffir lime.
• Beef Lok Lak:
Stir-fried peppery beef served with a lime and pepper dipping sauce.
• Pub Street:
After golf, head to the famous Pub Street for a $0.50 draft beer and the electric atmosphere of the Night Market.
