Dara Sakor Golf Resort
Sihanoukville
Located on Cambodia’s southern coast in Koh Kong province, Dara Sakor Golf Resort is one of the country’s most ambitious golf developments. Set within the wider Dara Sakor coastal resort area, the venue is designed as a large-scale golf and leisure destination, combining sea views, forested terrain and resort-style facilities in a remote, developing part of Cambodia.
The golf offering is commonly listed as a 36-hole complex, made up of the Ocean Course and Mountain Course, with some travel sources describing a longer-term vision for up to 54 holes. The Ocean Course is the headline layout, using coastal terrain, seashore paspalum turf, water hazards, bunkering and Gulf of Thailand views to create a modern seaside round. It also includes floodlighting for night golf.
The Mountain Course offers a contrasting experience, carved through jungle and hillside terrain, where accuracy from the tee matters more than power. Elevated holes, forest views and glimpses towards the sea give it a different feel from the more open Ocean Course.
Dara Sakor is best suited to golfers looking for something adventurous and different from Cambodia’s more established Phnom Penh or Siem Reap courses. It is still a developing destination, so I’d position it carefully as a remote coastal golf escape rather than a polished mainstream resort.

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.
