Where you'll play
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 golf destination, a masterpiece sculpted by the legendary Nick Faldo. Inaugurated in early 2008 after a solemn blessing from local monks, this world-class course immediately placed Cambodia on the global golf map. Every aspect, from the meticulously maintained tees and fairways to the impeccably smooth greens, reflects the unparalleled standards expected from a Faldo design and management. The finest Paspalum turf is used, ensuring exceptional playing conditions that remain consistent and enjoyable throughout the year, inviting golfers to experience a truly superior round.
Designed as a thoughtful challenge for golfers of all skill levels, the Siem Reap course demands strategic thinking on every hole. You'll find that the carefully placed bunkers and glistening water hazards, while requiring precision, are clearly visible from the tee boxes, allowing for informed decisions. The greens offer subtle undulations that reward creative approach shots and encourage a variety of shot-making. Furthermore, the flexibility to adjust pin positions daily allows the challenge to be tailored to your preference, whether you seek an easier day or a more demanding test. With multiple tee box options, golfers of any handicap can select the course length that best suits their game, ensuring a rewarding experience for everyone.
The concluding three holes at Angkor Golf Resort present a thrilling and memorable finale, embodying Nick Faldo's signature flair for dramatic finishes. The formidable par-5 16th, a lengthy 588-yard challenge, will test even the longest hitters, with water on the left demanding a precise approach. Following this, the 17th presents the longest par-3 on the course, its green guarded by water on the right, requiring a well-struck and accurate tee shot. Finally, the 440-yard par-4 finishing hole, with its left-dogleg and encroaching water, offers a spectacular climax. Don't forget to visit the impressive 300-meter driving range to hone your skills before your round. Angkor Golf Resort is truly the ultimate choice for your Cambodia golf holiday.
