Cambodia Golf Guide

Cambodia is an emerging golf destination that combines cultural depth with an improving and increasingly well-regarded golf offering. Golf is centered around Siem Reap, near the Angkor temple complex, and Phnom Penh, the country’s dynamic capital. The destination is anchored by Phokeethra Country Club, which has helped position Cambodia as a recognised golf destination within the Asia-Pacific region. Golf is possible year-round, with the most comfortable playing conditions typically between November and March, when temperatures are milder and skies are generally clear. The hotter months of April and May, as well as the green season from June to October, still offer enjoyable golf, with fewer players on the courses, excellent course conditioning after short tropical showers, and better overall value. The Cambodia Golf Guide outlines the country’s key golf regions, leading courses, travel logistics, and what golfers can realistically expect from a Cambodian golf holiday. Based on Golfasian’s on-the-ground experience, the guide is designed to help travelers plan efficiently, understand seasonal trade-offs, and see how golf in Cambodia can be combined seamlessly with culture, cuisine, and relaxed city stays.

THE EDITOR

Welcome to Cambodia, where

ancient temples meet green fairways

under tropical sunshine. Offering golf

experiences from Siem Reap near

Angkor Wat to the vibrant capital of

Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s expanding

golf scene is highlighted by Phokeethra

Country Club, recognized as Asia

Pacific’s Best Golf Destination.

The weather keeps things interesting.

November to March is the best time

to play, with cooler air and clear skies.

April and May turn up the heat a little,

and from June to October, you might

see a few rain showers. But don’t

worry, they usually pass quickly and

leave the courses looking extra green.

Plus, it’s a quieter time on the fairways

and easier on the wallet. Win-win.

Now, if planning all the details sounds like a bit too much, that is where

we come in. At Golfasian, we organise everything for you. Tee times,

hotels, airport pickups, even dinner bookings if needed. Whether you

are travelling solo, with friends, or organising a group trip, we build the

plan around what suits you. And if something unexpected happens,

we are here 24/7. Our local team knows the courses, the roads, and

how to sort things out quickly and politely. All you need to do is show

up and play. We will handle the rest with a smile.

Ready to explore the best of Cambodian golf? Let’s tee-off.

Golfasian General Manager

Welcome to the Kingdom

A land of ancient splendor and modern-day

marvels, Cambodia is a destination that stirs the

soul and awakens the senses. From the majestic

spires of Angkor Wat to the tranquil stretches

of untouched beaches, this Southeast Asian

gem delivers an experience as profound as it is

picturesque. Whether you are here to explore,

unwind, or play, every moment in Cambodia

promises beauty, culture, and quiet luxury.

Weather Tips:

Cambodia enjoys a tropical

monsoon climate with warm

temperatures throughout

the year, typically ranging

between 18°C and 34°C.

The green season, from

September to March, brings

short bursts of rainfall, while

the dry season from April to

August offers sun-filled days

ideal for outdoor exploration

and golf. For the most

comfortable travel experience, the months

between February and September are

often recommended.

Award Spotlight:

Cambodia’s rise as a golf destination was

recently recognized at the 2025 Asia Golf

Tourism Convention in Da Nang, Vietnam.

Voted Asia Pacific Best Golf Destination

of the Year by more than 700 members

of the International Association of Golf

Tour Operators, this award highlights

Cambodia’s growing appeal on the world

golf stage.

Scenery:

From lush national parks to palm-fringed

islands, Cambodia captures the spirit

of Southeast Asia in one unforgettable

journey. On Koh Rong, Long Beach offers

seven kilometers of soft, powdery sand

and peaceful ocean views, while the more

secluded Long Set Beach provides barefoot

luxury just steps away from the island’s livelier

corners.

With 12 exceptional golf courses already

open and 3 more in progress, Cambodia

offers a fresh and rewarding experience

for golfers. From the cultural treasures of

Siem Reap to the cosmopolitan energy of

Phnom Penh, players will discover quality

facilities, striking scenery, and a peaceful

pace that makes every round feel special.

Start Your Journey

CAMBODIA

Your Cambodian adventure begins before you even board the plane. To make

your arrival smooth and stress-free, complete the online e-Arrival Form up to seven

days before your flight. It is quick, digital, and required for all travelers arriving from

September 1 onward. You can submit it through www.arrival.gov.kh or by using the

official mobile app.

Once you land, Cambodia makes a great first impression. You will find free WiFi,

convenient ATMs and currency exchange, and prepaid SIM card services to help you

stay connected right away. Tourist information centers are ready to assist, along with

taxi services and support for oversized baggage.

For visas, most travelers can apply for a Cambodian e-Visa in advance at

www.evisa.gov.kh. It is usually processed within three working days, valid for 90 days

from the issue date, and allows a 30-day stay. You can also get

a visa on arrival at major airports, but applying online helps you skip the

lines and start exploring sooner.

DESIGNER:

YARDAGE & PAR: 7,350 yards, Par 72

Brian Curley of Schmidt-Curley Design

28 kilometers north of Phnom Penh

on the tee, golfers feel the pressure of making a clean strike

across the water while also appreciating the calm, open setting.

Whether the ball finds the green or not, the hole offers a moment

of quiet intensity and satisfaction. After the game, players can

relax in the resort’s modern clubhouse, enjoy a meal, or unwind

in the spa and sauna.

Golf Club

A highlight of the experience is the par-3 16th hole, where a

bold tee shot must carry over water to reach a guarded green.

It delivers a moment of pure focus and quiet tension, making

success feel especially rewarding. The course’s open design also

lets the wind play a role, adding a fresh challenge on breezier

days. After the round, players can relax in the clubhouse,

practice at the range, or simply enjoy the calm environment.

Royal Phnom Penh

Golf Club

DESIGNER:

P & Z Development Pte Ltd

YARDAGE & PAR: 7,075 yards, Par 72

ESTABLISHED: 1999

DISTANCE:

8 kilometers from Phnom Penh

International Airport

One of the standout moments is found at a hole where water

lines the fairway and demands a precise approach to an

undulating green. It’s a test of focus and confidence, offering

both challenge and reward. After the round, players can enjoy

the comfort of a traditionally styled clubhouse, complete with

dining, practice areas, and professional services.

Fun Fact :

The Palace Pavilion That Got Lost!

Ever notice that cool iron building in Phnom Penh’s Royal Palace that looks different?

That’s the Napoleon III Pavilion, and its story is wild.

Turns out, this fancy metal structure wasn’t even built for Cambodia. Nope! It was

made all the way back in 1869 for the big party opening the Suez Canal in Egypt.

This building was supposed to be a temporary party tent for a huge global event.

8

But after the canal party was over, instead of being packed away forever, it got

a new gig. Like a very fancy hand-me-down, it was taken apart, shipped in pieces

(imagine the instructions for putting that back together), and ended up in Phnom Penh.

So, next time you’re there, remember you’re looking at a piece of history that literally

traveled the world to find its forever home in Cambodia.

hazards, it creates a mix of excitement and tension from the very

first swing. Whether you’re chasing birdies or simply enjoying

One of its most memorable holes is shaped around Dragon

Lake, where golfers must navigate a water hazard that runs

alongside the fairway and guards the green. This setting creates

a sense of tension and satisfaction when a shot is executed well.

Unlike the East Course, which features dramatic temple replicas

and bolder landscapes, the West Course leans into a quieter,

more refined style of golf.

YARDAGE & PAR: 7,279 yards, Par 72

One of the most unforgettable holes is the par-5 13th. With water

running along the left and a narrow landing area off the tee, it

challenges golfers both mentally and physically. Reaching the

green in regulation offers a strong sense of satisfaction, especially

with temple-like palms framing the horizon. It’s the kind of hole

that stays with players long after the round ends, not just for the

test it presents but for the atmosphere it creates. From start to

finish, Angkor Golf Resort blends competitive golf with peaceful

landscapes, offering a round that is as emotionally rewarding as

it is skillful.

an island green, creating both tension and excitement with

every shot. For many, it becomes the highlight of the round,

offering a mix of pressure and satisfaction as they attempt to

finish strong. After the game, the Sofitel-managed clubhouse

provides a comfortable space to relax, enjoy a meal, and reflect

on the round. Whether you’re visiting for a casual game or a

competitive challenge.

Siem Reap

Booyoung Country Club

DESIGNER:

Kentaro Sato

YARDAGE & PAR: 7,396 yards, Par 72

The standout moment for many comes at the par-3 16th hole.

Set against a beautiful backdrop, this hole features an island

green that challenges precision and nerve. A well-placed shot

brings a deep sense of reward, while even a near miss creates

a memorable story. After the round, players can unwind at the

modern clubhouse, enjoy Korean and international cuisine, or

A highlight of the Mountain Course is the par-3 4th hole, where

golfers must carry their tee shot over water to a guarded green.

It’s a moment that demands precision and brings a rush of

satisfaction when played well. On the Ocean Course, night golf

under floodlights adds an exciting twist to the round. After golf,

guests can relax at the natural hot spring bath, enjoy a meal in

the clubhouse, or stay overnight on-site.

Where is

Sihanoukville?

Sihanoukville is a seaside city in

Cambodia, located in the southwest part

of the country. It sits along the coast of

the Gulf of Thailand, which means it has

warm weather, calm seas, and many

beaches. It’s the main beach destination

in Cambodia and often used as a starting

point to explore nearby tropical islands.

Sihanoukville began as a quiet fishing

village and later became Cambodia’s

only deep-water port, making it important

for shipping and trade. This role brought

rapid growth in recent years, with new

hotels, casinos, and foreign investment.

Today, the city is a mix of local markets

and street food alongside tall buildings,

modern resorts, and shopping centers.

Many people use Sihanoukville as a starting

point to visit nearby islands like Koh Rong

and Koh Rong Samloem. These islands are

known for their clear blue water, soft white

sand, and peaceful atmosphere. Boats run

daily from the city’s port and take about 30

to 45 minutes.

In town, you’ll find a mix of local and

modern experiences. You can walk through

traditional markets, try street food, or visit

temples. At the same time, there are also

luxury hotels, casinos, shopping malls, and

international restaurants. It’s a mix of old

and new, simple and stylish.

DISCOVER

Wat Phnom is a historic temple perched on a small hill in the center of Phnom

Penh, Cambodia’s capital. As the city’s namesake, it holds cultural and spiritual

importance. Surrounded by greenery, the temple offers a peaceful break from the

busy streets below. Visitors can climb the staircase to explore the temple, see

Buddhist shrines, and enjoy views of the city. Early morning or late afternoon visits

are best for cooler weather.

The gentle sound of bells and scent of incense fill the air. From the top, the view

stretches across the city, offering a glimpse of the past in the heart of the capital.

The Royal Palace is one of Cambodia’s

iconic landmarks, known for its golden

rooftops and classic Khmer design. It sits in

the heart of Phnom Penh, near the riverside,

making it easy to explore while visiting the

capital. Inside, visitors can stroll through

peaceful gardens, admire the Silver Pagoda,

and view centuries-old treasures.

The Throne Hall is a highlight, rich in detail

and history. To get the best experience, visit

adds depth and helps bring the palace’s

royal stories to life.

Angkor Wat is Cambodia’s most

iconic temple and a UNESCO World

outside Siem Reap, this 12th-century

temple was originally built as a Hindu

monument before becoming a center

of Buddhist worship. It stands as a

symbol of national pride, drawing millions

each year to experience its beauty.

The temple’s soaring towers represent

Mount Meru, a sacred mountain in Hindu

and Buddhist belief. Carvings along

its galleries tell tales of gods, warriors,

and ancient kings. At sunrise, Angkor

Wat’s reflection in still water creates a

quiet, unforgettable moment. An early

visit offers cooler air and fewer crowds,

making it the best time to explore. Nearby

temples like Bayon, with its stone faces,

and Ta Prohm, wrapped in jungle roots,

add even more depth to the experience.

scenic natural retreat located about

16 kilometers from Sihanoukville,

water, creating a setting perfect for

reflection and relaxation. With natural

beauty, cultural charm, and easy

Car and Motorbike Taxis are available in Cambodia’s major cities. In

Phnom Penh, both can be booked via apps like Grab and PassApp. Siem

Reap offers motorbike taxis, with fewer car options; apps can assist in

booking. Sihanoukville has limited services, so pre-arranging transportation

is advisable.

For a smooth journey, utilize apps in Phnom Penh, choose motorbike taxis in

Siem Reap, and pre-book rides in Sihanoukville.

Tuk Tuks are a popular and affordable way to travel in Cambodia. In

Phnom Penh, they are widely available, with short rides costing about $1–$2;

apps like Grab and PassApp are useful for booking. Siem Reap’s tuk tuks are

ideal for exploring the city and nearby temples, with day tours typically priced

around $15. In Sihanoukville, tuk tuks are present but less regulated, so it’s

important to agree on the fare beforehand.

Always confirm the price before the journey to avoid misunderstandings.

Public Buses in Phnom Penh operate daily from 5:30 AM to 8:30 PM,

offering an affordable way to navigate the city at approximately $0.40 per

ride . Siem Reap launched a free electric bus service in 2024, connecting key

areas and promoting eco-friendly travel.

Sihanoukville’s public bus system is still in development, with limited routes

currently available . For now, travelers in Sihanoukville may prefer taxis or

tuk-tuks.

Car/Motorbike Rental is a flexible way to get around Cambodia. In

Phnom Penh, car rentals are available through major companies and suit

longer city routes. Siem Reap is ideal for motorbike rental, giving you freedom

to explore temples at your own pace. Sihanoukville is less suited to rentals,

with fewer options and busy, confusing roads.

Always have your valid international driving permit, and if on a

motorbike, wear a helmet and avoid peak traffic hours for a safer ride.

Ferries are a practical mode of transport in Cambodia’s coastal and

river regions. In Phnom Penh, ferries primarily serve local crossings over

the Mekong River. Siem Reap offers ferry services to Phnom Penh and

Battambang during the wet season, typically from August to March.

Sihanoukville operates regular speedboat ferries to nearby islands, including

Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem, with several departures daily .

Travelers should plan accordingly, considering seasonal availability and

booking in advance for island trips.
