Golf in Cambodia
Including Angkor Golf Resort and Garden City Golf Club. On the map.
The vibe
Golfing here is a surprisingly manicured, high-end experience that stands in stark contrast to the rustic surroundings of the countryside. The fairways are best enjoyed during the cooler, dry season when the heat is less intense for a full round. It feels like a quiet, exclusive escape, with most courses catering to visitors looking for a relaxed day on the green.
