Phokeethra Country Club
A long, lake-laced course in the rice fields west of Siem Reap, run with the Sofitel Angkor.
Destination imageryNick Faldo’s course ten minutes from Siem Reap, between temple mornings.

Angkor Golf Resort turns a trip to Angkor Wat into a golf holiday. Sir Nick Faldo designed the course, which opened in 2008, in the countryside about ten minutes west of Siem Reap. The usual rhythm is a sunrise at the temples followed by an afternoon round, or the other way round. It is the most polished of the three Siem Reap courses, with a 300-yard range and a full clubhouse, and every round comes with a caddie.

The course plays to par 72 and 7,279 yards from the back tees, 5,920 from the club tees and 5,151 from the front. It is relatively open parkland on flat rural land, so wind across the plain is the main variable. It suits most handicaps from the forward tees and is long enough from the back to test good players.
Plan golf around the temples rather than the other way round. Angkor Wat at sunrise means a 4.30am start, so an early-afternoon tee time works well, or play at first light and visit the temples later. The heat builds quickly from late morning. The clubhouse has a restaurant, lockers and showers, so you can go straight from the round to dinner in town.
The new Siem Reap–Angkor International Airport (SAI), which replaced the old airport in 2023, is about an hour east of town. The club is in Kasekam village, about 5 km west of central Siem Reap, roughly ten minutes by tuk-tuk or car. Hotels arrange transfers routinely.

Siem Reap has hotels at every level, from boutique places near Pub Street to large resorts on the road to the temples. Anywhere in town is 10 to 20 minutes from the club.
Phokeethra Country Club, 19 km north-west, and Siem Reap Booyoung Country Club make a three-course week. The Angkor Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that includes Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and Ta Prohm, is the main reason to come. The Tonle Sap floating villages and Phnom Kulen are good half-days.
November to March is the best time, dry and relatively cool. April and May are very hot. The rainy season from about June to October brings afternoon storms but greener scenery and quieter temples.
