Enquire for Phnom Penh Golf PackagesA New Standard for Cambodian Golf
Phnom Penh has transformed from a quiet capital into a high-octane golf hub. While Siem Reap offers the history of the temples, Phnom Penh offers the sheer scale of modern luxury. The city now boasts some of the best-maintained courses in Southeast Asia, many of which are part of massive, world-class developments like Vattanacville.
Golfers in the capital can enjoy a diverse mix of play: from the "temple-style" layouts of the **Vattanac East Course** to the precision required at the Nicklaus-designed **Grand Phnom Penh**. With the addition of night golf at the "Dragon Turn" and elite clubhouse facilities, Phnom Penh provides a sophisticated, multi-layered experience for the traveling golfer.
