Royal Cambodia Phnom Penh Golf Club
Royal Cambodia Phnom Penh Golf Club is one of the capital’s most accessible and established golf courses, located just a short drive from Phnom Penh International Airport. Opened in 1999, the course offers a traditional 18-hole parkland layout that caters to all skill levels. With mature tree-lined fairways, scenic water hazards, and a walkable layout, it provides a relaxing and rewarding golf experience for locals, expats, and visiting golfers alike. Its convenient location, affordability, and consistent conditioning make it a favorite for weekend rounds and corporate events in Cambodia’s bustling capital.
Royal Cambodia holds the distinction of being one of the earliest full-length international-standard courses in the country. Its straightforward yet elegant design emphasizes fair play and strategic positioning rather than brute power, making it an ideal venue for mid- and high-handicap players. Though not as extravagant as newer resort-style venues, the club's charm lies in its authentic golf environment, attentive staff, and loyal customer base.
Course Layout & Design
The Royal Cambodia Course plays to 6,900 meters from the championship tees and offers a classic parkland design with mostly flat terrain. The course is dotted with bunkers and water hazards that require thoughtful shot selection. The routing is golfer-friendly, with short walks between greens and tees and minimal forced carries. Wide landing areas and relatively large greens make the course accessible, while subtle breaks and well-placed hazards keep players engaged throughout the round.
Signature holes include:
- Hole 2 – A long par-5 with water on the left and a green guarded by bunkers and mounds.
- Hole 7 – A scenic par-3 over water with a narrow, sloping green and excellent city views.
- Hole 16 – A risk-reward par-4 that can be driven by big hitters but is flanked by deep rough and water along the right side.
