Angkor Golf Resort

What Angkor Golf Resort does

Angkor Golf Resort operates a single 18-hole championship golf property in Siem Reap, Cambodia, designed by European golf legend Sir Nick Faldo. The course spans 7,279 yards at par 72, uses seashore paspalum turf, and features a 300-yard driving range with putting and chipping greens. Founded in 2008, the resort sits five minutes from Siem Reap International Airport and ten minutes from the Angkor Wat UNESCO World Heritage site, positioning it primarily as a golf-tourism destination for international visitors.

The business generates revenue across multiple transactional streams: green fees (US$155 per 18 holes, US$103 per 9 holes, including caddie and shared cart), equipment rentals (24 sets of Cobra clubs plus shoes), PGA-certified academy services (lessons from US$35 per person, golf schools, swing analysis using V1 Video Technology), corporate golf days, and stay & play packages bundled with FCC Angkor by Avani. Go-to-market relies on direct online booking, golf tourism intermediaries (IAGTO, IMG Prestige, Pacific Links International reciprocal networks, Golfscape), hotel referrals, and event-driven demand from hosting tournaments such as the Angkor Amateur Open, Angkor Four-ball Championship, and Faldo Series Cambodia Championship. Primary customer segments are international golf tourists, corporate clients, amateur golfers, and a developing junior development pipeline.

Sponsorship and event revenue is anchored by corporate names such as Johnnie Walker, Chevron, ANZ Bank, and the Asian Tour, while the Grass Roots Junior Development Program is funded by IPS. The resort operates two offices (Siem Reap headquarters, Phnom Penh support), maintains Audubon International environmental certification obtained in 2009, and has accumulated multiple consecutive Best Course in Cambodia awards from Asian Golf Awards, World Golf Awards, and Golf Digest. In 2026 the resort announced a temporary closure from 1 June for renovation works and corporate restructuring framed as a long-term sustainability initiative.
