Golf in Siem Reap

For many travellers, Siem Reap is synonymous with Cambodia, as it is closest to the Angkor temple complex, and they begin and end their Cambodian journey in this town. Golf in Siem Reap is now established with three championship quality golf courses, and it’s really icing on the cake for golfers who can choose Siem Reap and the enriching experience of the UNESCO Heritage Angkor Temples over other golf destinations.

Golf in Siem Reap is relatively recent with two courses operational since 2007 and the third since 2009, keeping pace with the rest of the rapidly expanding tourist infrastructure in the city. The biggest plus of golfing in Siem Reap is the proximity to the courses, where it takes less than 30 minutes to get to the farthest one.

It goes without saying that the Angkor temples are wondrous and awe-inspiring and the first attraction you will visit when in Siem Reap by taking an Angkor Tour. The city itself has a charming, provincial air to it and is so compact that you can get to the lively Pub Street, the Night Market and other places by way of a 15 minute Tuk Tuk ride. Tour the Tonle Sap Lake where you will see fascinating villages on water, complete with homes, school, churches, and stores.
