Royal Phnom Penh Golf Club

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 over 200 hectares and nestled amongst rice paddies and coconut palms. Being so close to the capital, it is a favorite with locals and expatriates. It is former Prime Minister Hun Sen's preferred course as he got a hole-in-one at Royal Cambodia. Since its opening in 1999, Royal Cambodia has hosted numerous dignitaries and celebrities.

The Cambodia golf course emphasizes environmental protection as it has preserved many of the original land features and used native palms, flowers, and bushes to make the course shine. Moreover, since some course plays through natural wetlands, many birds graze in the on-course ponds and streams.

The international standard golf course features 18 holes that are each unique. The course is relatively flat, yet it still challenges numerous sand and water hazards, including a lake near the third hole. Four tee boxes allow for a wide range of distances to be played and welcome golfers of all levels. Water comes into play on 12 of the 18 holes, and excellent greenside bunkering promotes accurate shots into the undulating greens.

The giant Royal Cambodia clubhouse combines traditional Cambodian architecture with modern convenience. Facilities are adequate for most Cambodian golf visitors. The golf driving range is one of the largest in Phnom Penh and an excellent place to warm up before your round.
