Introduction

In 1999 Cambodia Royal Phnom Penh Golf Club became the second golf course to open in Cambodia. Very popular with the local dignitaries and expatriates. For many years Royal Cambodia Phnom Penh Golf Club was the most popular course in Phnom Penh due to its location and affordable green fees. But since international standard courses such as Grand Phnom Penh and Garden City Golf Club have opened its popularity has diminished a little. The advantage is that it is nearly always possible to secure a tee-time at this reasonably priced facility.

Presented in a similar condition to Cambodia Golf & Country Club with an emphasis on preserving the environment and nurturing the local fauna and habitat. Set in mature wetlands with an abundance of local plants and palm tress you will soon forget that you are so close to the expanding city. Four tees per hole and large undulating greens will test golfers of all skill levels.

The Cambodia golf course emphasizes environmental protection as has preserved many of the original land features and used native palms, flowers and bushes to make the course shine. Moreover, since some of the course plays through natural wetlands there are many birds that graze in the on-course ponds and streams.

Close to the capital of Phnom Penh and only 8 kilometers from the Phnom Penh International Airport is the Royal Cambodia Phnom Penh Golf Club. The 7,075 yard golf course is spread out over 200 hectares and nestled in amongst rice paddies and coconut palms. Being so close to the capital it is a favorite with locals and expatriates. Moreover since opening in 1999 Royal Cambodia has hosted numerous dignitaries and celebrities. In fact it is Prime Minister Hun Sen’s preferred course as he got a hole-in-one at Royal Cambodia in 2004!

The international standard golf course features 18 holes that are each unique. The course is rather flat yet it still provides a challenge with numerous sand and water hazards, including a large lake near the third hole. Four tee boxes allow for a wide range of distances to be played and welcome golfers of all levels. Water comes into play on 12 of the 18 holes and nice greenside bunkering promotes accurate shots into each of the undulated greens.

The large Royal Cambodia clubhouse combines the traditional Cambodian architecture with modern convenience. Facilities are adequate for most Cambodia golf visitors. The golf driving range is the largest in Phnom Penh and a good place to warm up before your round.
