Phnom Penh is a city in the midst of a spectacular transformation. Once defined solely by its history, the Cambodian capital has reinvented itself as a modern metropolis of sky-bars, 5-star hotels, and arguably the most exciting new golf experiences in Southeast Asia. While Siem Reap offers ancient temples, Phnom Penh offers “pure golf” on a grand scale. With courses designed by legends like Sir Nick Faldo and massive new developments catering to the local elite, Phnom Penh is the perfect destination for the golfer who appreciates world-class conditioning and VIP treatment.
Nha Trang’s courses are defined by the ocean. These three offer the most spectacular sea views.
Vattanac Golf Resort The New Standard of Luxury This is not just a golf course; it is a statement. Designed by Sir Nick Faldo, Vattanac features two distinct 18-hole layouts: the East Course (a scale replica of pre-Angkorean architecture) and the West Course (The Dragon Lake).
The “Tea House” kiosks. Located every few holes, these air-conditioned rest stops offer complimentary snacks and drinks in a setting that feels like a boutique hotel lobby.
Chhun On Golf Resort The Massive Garden Layout A newer addition to the Phnom Penh golf scene, Chhun On Golf Resort is built on a massive scale. Located in the Kandal province just outside the city, it caters to those who love wide-open spaces and a grand atmosphere. The course features picturesque landscaping with mature palm trees, expansive water hazards, and a layout that rewards power off the tee.
The expansive design. The course feels incredibly open and breezy, with water coming into play on many holes to challenge your approach shots.
Grand Phnom Penh Golf Club The Nicklaus Signature Located closer to the city center, this private member’s club (accessible through Golfasian) offers a classic Jack Nicklaus challenge. The course is known for its immaculate fairways and the complete absence of rough it’s all about avoiding the water and the many waste bunkers.
The contrast between the rugged rock formations and the emerald green Platinum Paspalum turf. It is a photographer’s dream.
• The Royal Palace:
Explore the Silver Pagoda and the manicured gardens of the King’s residence. The architecture is stunning.

A former high school turned prison during the Khmer Rouge era. It is a somber, emotional visit, but essential to understanding modern Cambodia.
• Mekong Sunset Cruise:
Rent a private boat for a sunset cruise at the “Four Faces” river junction (where the Mekong and Tonle Sap meet). It’s the best way to see the city skyline.
• Malis Restaurant:
Run by Cambodia’s first Master Chef, Luu Meng, this is the place to try “Royal Khmer Cuisine” in a beautiful courtyard setting.
• Sora Skybar:
Located on the 37th floor of the Rosewood Hotel (Vattanac Capital Tower), the cantilevered terrace offers the best view in the country.
• Bassac Lane:
A trendy alleyway filled with boutique cocktail bars and speakeasies perfect for a post-round drink.
