Garden City Golf Club
Phnom Penh
Located around 15 kilometres northeast of downtown Phnom Penh, Garden City Golf Club is one of Cambodia’s leading championship golf venues. Opened in 2013, this semi-private club was created to offer a high-quality golf experience for both members and visitors, with strong conditioning, modern facilities and easy access from the capital.
The 18-hole, par-72 course stretches to around 7,361 yards from the back tees. The layout is set across relatively flat former paddy-field land, with large undulating greens, water hazards and strategic bunkering shaping the round. It is playable for a wide range of golfers, but from the back tees it becomes a much stronger test, especially with water in play on many holes.
Garden City has a polished, resort-style feel compared with some of Cambodia’s older courses. The course presentation is a major selling point, with IMG management often noted by golf travel sources as part of its quality and consistency. Facilities include a clubhouse, restaurant, swimming pool and practice/support services, making it a strong option for Phnom Penh-based golf itineraries.
For Cambodia golf holidays, Garden City works well alongside Vattanac Golf Resort, Chhun On Golf Resort and Cambodia Golf & Country Club. It is ideal for golfers who want a modern, well-maintained course close to Phnom Penh without needing a long transfer.

About The Area
Sihanoukville is Cambodia’s main coastal gateway, sitting on the Gulf of Thailand and acting as the jumping-off point for islands such as Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem. For golfers, it is less of a traditional golf hub and more of a beach-and-golf extension — best suited to travellers who want coastal relaxation, island scenery and a different side of Cambodia after playing in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap.
The main golf option linked with Sihanoukville is Dara Sakor Golf Resort, located further along the coast in Koh Kong Province. GolfAsian describes Dara Sakor as Cambodia’s first international beachfront golf development, with an 18-hole Ocean Course and an 18-hole Mountain Course, while also noting it is around two and a half hours from Sihanoukville International Airport. Because of that distance, it is better viewed as a wider south-coast golf experience rather than a quick local round. GolfTripz similarly positions Dara Sakor as the main golf draw “in Sihanoukville and around”, while noting it is almost two hours away.
Golf here is best planned carefully, as the region is not as course-dense as Phnom Penh or Siem Reap. The prime travel period is generally November to April, when Cambodia’s weather is drier and better suited to golf, beach days and transfers.
Off the course, Sihanoukville is all about the sea. The city gives access to beaches such as Otres and Independence, plus boat trips to Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem, which are known for white sand, clear water and a more relaxed island feel. Ream National Park also offers mangroves, wildlife and boat excursions for a nature-focused day out.
For golfers seeking a pure golf trip, Sihanoukville works best as an add-on to Cambodia’s stronger golf centres. For those wanting beach time, island hopping and a coastal finish to a wider Cambodia itinerary, it offers a relaxed and memorable contrast.
