Stunning IMG-managed championship course and Golf Digest's 2022 pick for the best in Cambodia
Conveniently located just 15 minutes east of the centre of Siem Reap, Angkor Golf Resort is an immaculately conditioned 18-hole championship golf course from designer Nick Faldo, and Golf Digest's 2022 pick for Best Course in Cambodia. While water borders every hole, the paspalum fairways are fairly generous, albeit dotted with beautifully-sculpted bunkers, while the greens are very fast and full of subtle breaks.
After a relatively gentle par 4 opener, things get interesting with the short doglegging par-4 2nd, where a pair of massive bunkers, that look like the footprints of a giant, dominate the lead up to a green that's attractively surrounded by trees. It's a deceptively hard hole, source of many unexpected bogeys.
That's followed by the longest hole on the course, a 606-yard par 5 requiring a tee shot though a narrow gap between the trees to a thin sliver of safety between the bunkers. There's water all the way up the left and another cluster of sand traps in the landing zone for your second, so you'll still have your work cut out even after the best of drives.
The 7th is a monster of a par 4 at 480 yards, and when it plays into the wind it's best to proceed as if it's a par 5, while the front nine ends with a very long but very pretty par 3 that plays over water to a kidney-shaped green with bunkers either side and steep runoff behind.
The back nine is even better, with the 445-yard 10th requiring a long approach over water to a well-bunkered green and the 11th a much shorter version of the same set-up; the green is just about within reach of long hitters, but the water will impose a stiff penalty for falling short.
The S-shaped par-5 13th meanders through utterly massive bunkers, first on the left then the right, leaving you to carefully plot your way to an elevated green that's tough to hold, while the approach to the par-4 15th plays into a semi-island green with more massive bunkers either side. It's heady stuff.
There's only one bunker on the final hole, a 437-yard par 4 that gently doglegs around water, but the fairway pinches and narrows as it routes towards a small green that sits right on the lake, making for a very tough final approach.
Angkor Golf Resort features a modern clubhouse that has been recently expanded and improved, and with catering provided by Raffles Hotel there's an excellent selection of expertly prepared local and international dishes. There's also an excellent 300-metre driving range for those wishing to hit come balls before taking on the course.
Overall, this is simply a must-play course and should form the centrepiece of any golf holiday in Siem Reap. Highly recommended.

A dream became true! From the welcome with the iced towel and drink! A perfect design by Nick Faldo in best conditions!
You miss something in golf, if you do not play in Siam Reap! All courses here are golfers heaven. Teeboxes, fairways and greens are top quality! Water and bunkers are well placed and challenge your game. Perfect and friendly caddies support with everything golfers need. Perfect designed holes and a peaceful and quiered landscape surrounds this perfect course. It was a challenge with heat and humidity, but we enjoyed it extremely and recommend to play here. Do not count your strones, enjoy and use all the nice facilities. I was here in 1995 and it was not to expect what a golf destination Siam Reap may develop We loved it from the beginning to the end! Axel HCP 14Had a great time, facilities, course and staff were excellent.
Two holes under repair, but the course offered a free meal to compensate. Everything else was great. Would golf here again.Super-fun layout, definitely worth playing twice
Definitely my pick for the best course in Siem Reap (honorable mention to Phokeethra). It's a great layout, with some enjoyable par-3s and memorable, bunker-heavy par 5s (as you would expect from a Faldo design). The caddies were excellent, sometimes correctly overruling my club choice, usually bang on with the suggested lines on the green, and always on hand with an umbrella to provide some shade. The greens aren't lightning fast, but they are in great condition, with plenty of undulations to contend with. As we were playing in low season, there were some issues with the fairways - some sogginess (resulting in a plugged ball or two), and some dark patches indicative of some sort of invasive species, but no doubt this will be dealt with in time for high season. It didn't take away from what was a really enjoyable round of golf, and is definitely the course to play twice if you want three rounds while you're in Siem Reap.Course Info
