Phokeethra Country Club
The
Sofitel-managed Phokeethra Country Club, Ankor Wat, brings world class golf to
Cambodia. The golf course was designed under the guidance of Bangkok Thailand
based Weerayudt Phetbuasak, who also designed Suwan Country Club outside
Bangkok. A combination of Paspalum grasses are used on both fairways and greens,
which gives the golf course its deep green color and insures a high standard of
course conditions all year round. The 7,145-yard, 18-hole course reflects
Phokeethra Country Club’s dedication to creating an exclusive golfing
experience.
Sweeping fairways and generous greens give the Cambodia golf club a distinctive
layout and feel. Natural lagoons and sand traps thread through the course to
challenge golfers of all abilities. The course provides a good mix of tricky par
3’s, individual par 4’s and par 5’s which require a combination of long drives
and good direction control to score well.
A challenging championship caliber layout features water on all but one hole and
concludes with the signature double water carry 18th-hole that offers a daunting
final shot into a challenging island green. Also noteworthy, between the 9th
green and 10th tee is a restored ‘Roluh’ bridge, which is also the iconic image
used in the course’s logo, dating back to the 11th century Khmer empire.
Nice practice facilities consisting of separate pitching and putting greens are
located close to the clubhouse, allowing golfers a chance to practice their
skills before heading out on the course. A driving range is also planned to open
in the near future.
The Phokeethra Country Club’s clubhouse features five-star amenities. It
includes the Phokeethra Country Club Angkor Wat restaurant serving Western,
Khmer and Asian favorites, comfortable locker and shower facilities, pro shop
stocked with the latest branded golf gear, plus spa services to unwind after the
round.
This 7,145-yard course combines a challenging championship layout and played
host to the 2007 Cambodian Open, a stop on the Asian PGA tour. The Phokeethra
Country Club in Siem Reap has opened a new era for Cambodia golf tours, bringing
a world class golf experience to the Ankor Wat area.
