Golf in Sihanoukville

With Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville completes the popular tourist circuit of Cambodia. If travellers go to Siem Reap for historic splendour and to Phnom Penh for a vibrant city experience, they come to Sihanoukville for its white sand beaches and a languid holiday.

Sihanoukville by itself is not the end destination for most - the town’s been in the midst of a construction boom for sometime now and is getting popular for its casinos and party culture. Typical leisure traveller prefer to use it as a  springboard to explore the lesser known beaches on the coast and to get to island resorts. From Sihanoukville, the beautiful and wild Ream National Park is a wonderful day trip.

Golf in Sihanoukville and around can be found in new resorts like the Dara Sakor Golf Resort, located almost 2 hours away. Despite the distance from Sihanoukville, the integrated casino and golf resort complex is a big draw and a trip here almost always factors in a refreshing break at Sihanoukville’s beaches.

BEST TIME TO GOLF IN SIHANOUKVILLE:

Sihanoukville experiences more rain than the rest of Cambodia in general. And despite some rain between November and April, these months are relatively dry and is a good time for travel and golf in the region.
