Siem Reap Booyoung Country Club

Siem Reap Booyoung Country Club’s 18 holes feature several water hazards including a few shimmering creeks that come into play on a few of the holes. This par 72 , 7,396 yard golf course in fact has water on nearly every hole, followed by large and strategically located greenside bunker placements, with fairway sand traps completing the list of things to avoid during your round. Apart from the fairway traps, the landing areas are wide and rather forgiving.

Located just a few minutes out of Siem Reap on the road to Phnom Penh, it is also close by the UNESCO touring paradise, Angkor Wat.

The layout although has wide fairways on the opening holes, beware of the water and their bunkers that tighten some of your tee shots.  Creeks will catch you out as well, with more water that often is not visible from where you play your shots. Approaching the greens can require some decision making, especially if you are out of position relative to the pin placements.

However aesthetically, the palm-lined fairways make this Siem Reap course very appealing, with five tee boxes that effectively transform the layout into five different courses to satisfy every golfer’s ability level. The terrain in general is flat with minimal changes in elevation throughout. The fairways have ample landing areas and the larger than average greens are typically in fine condition.

The peaceful country views reflect Khmer Empire history as captured by designer Kentaro Sato in his admirable design that pays homage to the indigenous culture of the region. There is a spacious and architecturally intriguing clubhouse that echoes the cultural motif of the Khmer Empire offering authentic Korean cuisine which is the highlight of the clubhouse dining opportunities. Book this Siem Reap course now through Golf Orient or let us include it in a package for you and your group.
