Phokeethra Country Club carries the prestigious distinction of having hosted the Asian Tour's Cambodian Open — an accolade that certifies the course to a professional tournament standard and makes it one of the most credentialled layouts in Cambodia. The Asian Tour brings the world's top emerging professionals together for a serious championship test, and Phokeethra met that standard convincingly during its time as the national Open host.
The course's signature challenge is its system of forced water carries — genuine carry requirements off tees and into greens that leave no room for the layup approach that more forgiving designs allow. The water is positioned to punish truly errant shots decisively while still rewarding conservative but accurate target-finding. It is a more demanding playing experience than either Angkor Golf Resort or the Chhun On courses, and is best suited to golfers who want a genuine championship test alongside their Siem Reap cultural itinerary.
AGS recommends Phokeethra as a strong option for lower-handicap discerning golfers visiting Siem Reap who want to experience the course where professional golf was played in Cambodia. Pairing it with Angkor Golf Resort creates an excellent two-round Siem Reap program at contrasting levels of celebrity design prestige.

Phokeethra Country Club is a premium championship tropical, near angkor temples golf course located in Cambodia. Designed by Weerayudth Phetbuasak, this elite facility operates as a strict Par 72 layout, stretching to a formidable over 7,000 Yards from the championship tees.
Engineered for international touring groups, the course demands precise shot-making and strategic course management. Asia Golf Specialists (AGS) officially partners with Phokeethra Country Club to guarantee priority tee time access, VIP caddie requests, and seamless private ground transportation from your luxury basecamp directly to the first tee box. As a highly regulated facility, walk-in tee times for large international groups are notoriously difficult to secure during the high season (February through May).
According to internal logistical data, AGS recommends incorporating this specific course into a wider multi-day itinerary to perfectly balance coastal links exposure with distinct tropical, near angkor temples challenges. By booking through the AGS Local Guardian network, players bypass public booking queues and experience an uncompromising, fully managed luxury golf experience.
