Temples to Tees

THE South East Asian nation of Cambodia is becoming increasingly popular with foreign tourists, attracting more than five million visitors in 2016 and with around seven million expected by 2020.

#Golf tourism is still very much in its infancy, however. There are currently nine golf courses in #Cambodia: four in capital Phnom Penh including the country’s oldest course, Cambodia Golf & Country Club, which opened in 1996, the Grand Phnom Penh Golf Club course by Nicklaus Design and the IMG-managed Garden City Golf Club, which opened in 2013; three in Siem Reap, including Angkor Golf Resort’s Nick Faldo-designed course which opened in 2007 and former Asian Tour venue Phokeethra Country Club; and two courses on the coast at Dara Sakor Golf Club, forming the first part of a project by a Chinese developer in Koh Kong province.

A further two Faldo Design courses are set to open soon at Vattanac Golf Resort, a development 15km from the centre of Phnom Penh which is being built by international construction group Arup. The first course at the resort is due to open for play by late 2018.

Cambodia’s lure for golfers is underpinned by its appeal as a tourist destination, with the main attraction being the Angkor UNESCO World Heritage Site temple complex near Siem Reap that includes Angkor Wat, the world’s largest religious monument. It was named the world’s top UNESCO heritage site by review website TripAdvisor in November.

Tee off at Vietnams newest golf resort

QUY NHON #Golf Links with its Nicklaus Design course and integrated luxury resort in central #Vietnam is one of Asia’s most stunning new golf destinations. Playing from scenic mountain views to the sea this course and its associated resort consisting of a 500-room hotel, 90 villas, spa and convention centre has been developed in only 15 months.

“In June last year there was nothing here,” explained FLC Golf Director, Kelly Cherkowski, as media were shown around the resort. “Now we have one of the great golf destinations in South East Asia.”

By the end of this year, a second course – designed by acclaimed golf architecture firm Schmidt-Curley – will open in a mountain setting above the resort.

“This will make Quy Nhon even more appealing for visitors wishing to stay several days and play multiple rounds of golf,” Kelly Cherkowski added.
