Sir Nick Faldo building a golf course in Cambodia? Sounds unlikely, but it’s true.

The six-time Major winner has created a challenging 7,279-yard, par-72 track at the Angkor Golf Resort, Siem Reap. “It has all my favourite design elements – visibility, strategy, challenge, variety, balance, playability and, last but not least, enjoyment, “says Faldo of the first USGA international-rated course in Cambodia.

The course is five minutes drive from the five-star Angkor Palace Resort & Spa –the perfect base to explore the legendary Angkor temples and the National Museum, one of the Asia’s premier attractions and home to 1,000 Buddas.
