Cambodia has been officially named Asia Pacific Golf Destination of the Year 2025 in the 25th annual IAGTO Awards, held during the 11th Asia Golf Tourism Convention (AGTC) in Danang, Vietnam. The award, voted by over 700 IAGTO members including international golf tour operators, highlights Cambodia’s rise as a global golf destination, combining international-standard courses with the country’s cultural heritage and warm hospitality.
Cambodia’s Golf Tourism on the Rise
With about a dozen operational courses and more in development, Cambodia is fast becoming one of Asia’s most exciting golf destinations:
- Siem Reap – Home to the acclaimed Angkor Golf Resort, a Sir Nick Faldo design that continues to attract international players. At the same IAGTO Awards, Phokeethra Country Club was named Cambodia’s Best Golf Course, underscoring the city’s reputation for world-class play. Rounding out the lineup is Siem Reap Booyoung Country Club, where championship golf meets the cultural backdrop of Angkor Wat.
- Phnom Penh – Anchored by the celebrated Vattanac Golf Resort, featuring two Faldo Design championship courses, the East and West layouts. The capital also boasts Garden City Golf Club, Grand Phnom Penh Golf Club (a Jack Nicklaus design), Cambodia Golf & Country Club, and Chhun On Golf Resort, reinforcing Phnom Penh’s growing status as a golf hub.
With the opening of the Techo International Airport in Phnom Penh, along with expressway upgrades and other infrastructure projects, Cambodia’s courses are more accessible than ever. This improved connectivity is fueling both international tourism and domestic play.
