DESTINATION GOLF ASIA 2023

Cambodia

Best known around the world for Angkor Wat , the incredible Khmer temples in the north of the country , Cambodia today is a peaceful and welcoming country that has retained the style of its former French colony heritage , mixed with an indigenous cultural charm to completely redevelop itself and regain its proud title as “ The Pearl of Asia .”
The past decade has seen a flourishing tourist industry with visitors every year enjoying a full range of cultural and luxury travel experiences . Golf , while relatively new in the country , has been proving to be an increasingly important part of tourism in Cambodia .
Siem Reap was originally the main golf destination for golf vacationers in Cambodia . This small former French colonial town has been visited by foreigners mainly to see the 1,000-yearold cradle of Khmer civilization and the Temples of Angkor Wat . There are three international standard 18-hole courses each with its own variety and challenges for everyone from amateurs to professionals . Of these , the Faldo-designed Angkor Golf Resort leads the pack in terms of world-class quality and service .
