A long round in the rice fields west of Siem Reap.
Phokeethra Country Club is Siem Reap’s other championship course, set in open farmland about 19 km north-west of town. It opened in 2006 and was rated one of the top new courses in Asia, and it is run in partnership with the Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra hotel, whose guests get a sizeable discount. It is the longest of the area’s courses from the back tees and the most rural, with rice paddies and villages around the boundary. It pairs naturally with Angkor Golf Resort for a two-course stay.

The round, in perspective.
Weeyos Golf Design laid out the course, which plays to par 72 from 7,327 yards at the back, 6,081 from the club tees and 5,438 from the front. It is tree-lined and open parkland with water in play, on flat land surrounded by farmland. Its length from the back makes it a demanding test for strong players, while the forward tees keep it manageable for most.

Make the trip work.
Phokeethra suits a morning round before the heat, followed by an afternoon at Angkor Thom or Ta Prohm, which are about the same distance from the course as from town. If you are staying at the Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra, ask for the guest rate, which makes this the better value of Siem Reap’s two main courses. The clubhouse has a restaurant for lunch after the round.
The club is on National Highway 6 in Puok district, 19 km north-west of Siem Reap, about 25 minutes by car. Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom are a similar distance. Siem Reap–Angkor International Airport (SAI) is east of town, so allow well over an hour.
The Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort, near the temples, is the partner hotel and gives the best green-fee discount. Otherwise stay anywhere in Siem Reap town, 25 minutes away.
Make a trip of it.
Angkor Golf Resort, Nick Faldo’s course ten minutes from town, and Siem Reap Booyoung Country Club complete the area’s three courses. Off the course, the temples of the Angkor Archaeological Park, the West Baray reservoir and the silk farms around Puok are all close by.
Find your season.
November to March is dry and the most comfortable for golf. April and May are very hot. From June to October the rainy season brings afternoon downpours, and the surrounding rice fields turn green.
