This large scale event, which took place at Mission Hills Haikou Resort is yet another prestigious golf event in China which is helping to positioning China on the world golf map.

Our travelling duo of Andrew & Paul Marshall visited The Caribbean’s largest English-speaking island Jamaica for a feast of flavours, and the familiar fare of rum, reggae, jerk chicken, sugary sand beaches, aquamarine waters, towering palms and some top shelf golf.

The first of our two resort features comes from Cambodia, 2nd fastest growing golf destination in Asia. Featuring several world class golf courses in close proximity and the breath-taking Angkor Wat, we take a look at Angkor Golf Resort, one of Cambodia’s star golf courses. Heading back to Europe, our second resort feature is the renowned Oitavos Dunes Golf Course.

Situated within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, this past host venue to the Portuguese Open is in area of natural beauty only 30-mins north of Lisbon. A personal favourite of Destination Golf!

A CHINESE EXTRAVAGANZA How do you host an event with star-spangled participants that have collectively won 160 acting awards, over 100 music awards, 35 Olympic and World Championship medals and a staggering 335 professional golf victories, including 17 Majors? The answer is Mission Hills in China.

How do you host an event with star-spangled participants that have collectively won 160 acting awards, over 100 music awards, 35 Olympic and World Championship medals and a staggering 335 professional golf victories, including 17 Majors? The answer is Mission Hills in China.

The Mission Hills Group develops and operates championship golf courses, world-class family resorts and spas, and high-end, exquisitelydesigned residential developments in Southern China. It is pioneering the golf and leisure tourism industry and it is the cradle of golf in China. The Group boasts 22 golf resort and championship courses, designed by the greatest legends and architects in the game.

Not surprisingly, therefore, the resorts attract a large portion of golfing tourists who flock to China, as well as being a highly desirable destination for many of China’s more than one million golfers. The third edition of the World Celebrity Pro-Am was held from 24-26 October at the fully-integrated Mission Hills Haikou Resort on the tropical island of Hainan.

In June 2014, Mission Hills was officially accredited with “The World’s Largest One-Day Golf Tournament” by Guinness World Records.

A total of 1,987 golfers made history at Mission Hills Shenzhen-Dongguan by taking part in the biggest single-day golf tournament in history.

This event yet was another notch in a large portfolio of awards and accreditations that includes titles such as: “World’s Largest Golf Club”, “World’s Largest Spa Resort”.

As for golf events, Mission Hills has hosted over 100 International Tournaments from amateur to elite professional events, including: ‘The Match’ between Rory v Tiger, Asian Amateur Championship, World Cup, World Golf Championships, WGC-HSBC Championship, The Goodwill Trophy, World Ladies Championship and the recent World Celebrity Pro-Am, One of the year’s biggest sports and entertainment events, the guest list for the eagerly-awaited week of golf, glamour and gala events reads like a Who’s Who of global show business and elite sporting endeavour.

A star studded flied list of 24 celebrities from entertainment and sport paired with professional golfers for a weekend of golf, glamour and gala events. Stars taking part include Nicole Kidman, Morgan Freeman, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, Clarence Seedorf, Evgeni Plushenko, Yao Ming, Gary Player, Justin Rose, Ian Poulter, Paul McGinley and John Daly.

“The aim of the Mission Hills World Celebrity Pro-Am is to bring together all the superstars and famous personalities to promote and popularize the game of golf here in China,” said Mission Hills Group Chairman and CEO Dr. Ken Chu. “This event positions China on the world map of golf and showcases Mission Hills, and the country as a whole, as a must-visit destination for travellers, whether they are golfers or not.” www.missionhillschina.com

The Caribbean’s largest English-speaking island Jamaica, is a feast of flavours, and the familiar fare of rum, reggae, jerk chicken, sugary sand beaches, aquamarine waters, towering palms and cheek-caressing trade winds are merely the appetisers – for the avid golfer there’s top shelf golf sunny side up.

This was the scene. Paul and I were at one of the Caribbean’s most stunning golf courses, carved out of 600 acres of lush greenery and rolling countryside, with panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea from 16 of its 18 holes. Golf clubs, balls, scorecard, tees, chilled beverages and snacks were neatly arranged in our cart as we surveyed the surrounding landscape.

“Yeah man. The line is the large tree on the horizon, just swing nice and smooth,” said our caddy at the White Witch’s stunning 550yard, par-5 opening hole. For two pale English golfers who hadn’t touched a golf club throughout the winter months, it was pure heaven.

The par-71, 6,748-yard course was so named by its creators, golf course architects Robert von Hagge and Rick Baril, in reference to Annie Palmer, the notorious ‘White Witch,’ who was mistress of Rose Hall Plantation in the early 19th Century on which the course is built. She was purported to be beautiful and beguiling and to have murdered three unsuspecting husbands.

The course certainly casts a spell, as it spills up and down the hills high above the sea. Many holes demand long and scary carries over chasms filled with rocks and two of the par-3 holes feature stomach-dropping shots from elevated tees to water-fronted greens far below.

Said head golf professional Mike Cole, “The White Witch is a course that will give you a different experience each time you play, and we have done that by creating multiple tees throughout.

Whereas the low handicapper might have to carry a yawning ravine to reach the green, there are also tees allowing the shorter hitter to get there as well. The topography is unique, making each hole memorable and distinctive in its own right.”

From pewter golf bag tags inscribed with each player’s name and a driving range to die for, to luxurious changing rooms and well-trained, white-suited caddies known here as golf concierges, everything about the White Witch is decidedly top-end.

At every course the caddies add their own local flavour and at the White Witch it’s no exception. The golf concierges are a unique service that provides traditional caddy services in addition to other services such as restaurant reservations, ordering flowers for loved ones or making spa appointments. “Their knowledge of the golf course includes everything needed to negotiate the gusty winds, drastic elevation changes and deceptive greens,” Mike told us, as we enjoyed some frosty beers after our round. The elegant dining veranda of the clubhouse provides a superb and fitting 19th

hole with views of the first tee and the sparkling turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea beyond.

The White Witch is situated on Jamaica’s north coast. It is one member of a quartet of premier courses that includes Half Moon Golf Course, the Tryall Club and Cinnamon Hill Golf Course, all clustered around the elite enclave of Rose Hall near Montego Bay. Although there are another eight courses on the island, including the historic 9-hole Manchester Club, founded in 1865 and the oldest golf course in the Western Hemisphere, these four are the most varied and distinctive and provide a good focus for a Jamaican golf trip.

The following morning we had a tee time with Director of Golf, Ewan Peebles, at Half Moon – a tropical parkland layout designed

by Robert Trent Jones Senior and located in the exquisite resort of Half Moon. For Scottish born Ewan, a qualified PGA-pro since 2001 and a professional golfer for more than a dozen years, each course in the Rose Hall area holds a certain charm. “To me, Half Moon is the most user-friendly of the bunch and is more open and forgiving,” he said, after just missing a birdie putt on the par-5 first.

Half Moon’s signature hole is the relatively short, 362-yard par-4 fourth, which offers a choice of going for the green in one or hitting an iron down the open side to the green. It is guarded by a water hazard to the right. My caddy, Orville Christie known locally as the Jamaican John Daly, decided to tee one up and have a crack, but alas he pushed it to the right.

“The stretch of holes from 6 to 9, which are three long par-4s and a long par-3 into the prevailing wind, is the most difficult section of the golf course,“ said Ewan. “If you get through this section without a disaster you have the chance of making a reasonable score.” Despite expert caddy advice on reading the nuances of the confusing Bermuda grass greens and a few three putts, we managed to hold it all together until holing out at the last. After we tipped the excellent caddies and enjoyed a beverage at the 19th hole, we headed back to Half Moon Resort to enjoy the facilities and an afternoon siesta.

Half Moon is one of the world’s best resorts and is so extensive that guests are provided with a map and golf cart to help them get around. Celebrity visitors over the years have included Clark Gable, Prince Charles and more recently David Bowie and Wayne Rooney.

Georgian-style buildings are scattered throughout the lush tropical grounds, offering casually elegant accommodation, many with ocean views. In addition, 32 villas with private pool, which come with their own butler, cook and housekeeper, provide the perfect luxury home base for golfers.

Besides the golf, there’s tennis, a fitness centre, horseback riding and the award-winning Fern Tree Spa, the perfect place to unwind.

Of particular interest to golfers are the one-hour stress management program, ‘Mental Fitness for Golf’ and the ‘Up to Par’ massage, specially created to strengthen, stretch and stimulate muscles that are particularly important to golfers.

It combines a variety of techniques including passive stretching, deep tissue massage and the use of heated golf balls. This is a wonderful treatment for the pre and post golf game and well recommended.

Jamaican Jerk Eating and drinking is an important part of any golfing trip and Jamaican sspecialities run the gamut from mouth-watering curried goat and mutton to delightful national dishes such as salt fish, ackee, escoveitch fish, peanut porridge and chicken or beef patties (around one million of these Cornish pasty-like snacks are eaten by Jamaicans every day). While Half Moon’s collection of restaurants offer excellent dining, we soon discovered that you’re just as likely to have a great culinary experience by eating local style - and here that means one thing, Jamaica’s trademark dish of jerk chicken or pork. Although there are thousands of jerk centres, - as they are known - in every village and town and at almost every crossroads or street corner, there’s only one place to go…

When we visited Scotchies on the outskirts of Montego Bay one Friday afternoon, the queue inside was already a dozen long. A reggae soundtrack combined with delicious aromas that wafted on the balmy tropical breeze. A cool mix of locals and visitors rubbed shoulders at rustic tables, opening tin foil parcels of tasty jerk chicken and pork accompanied by roasted breadfruit or sweet potato and washed down with a Red Stripe beer, the island’s tipple of choice.

Scotchies was started several years ago by Tony Rerrie from the back of his pick up truck, and has since become an island institution. “Everyone knows about Scotchies and there’s no doubt it’s the best jerk centre in Jamaica,” said manager Kim Cooper. “On Sunday afternoons we usually get a big crowd of golfers stopping by and Mike Cole, Ewan Peebles and Rob Ames are all regulars here. “

Kim showed us round the back, where rows of chickens were splayed flat and whole backs of pig sizzled in jerk marinade over a low fire of pimento wood which provides a strong distinctive smoky flavour to the meat. Jerk chicken is believed to have been conceived when the Maroons introduced African meat cooking techniques to Jamaica.

These were combined with native Jamaican ingredients and seasonings used by the Arawak.

The method of smoking meat for a long period of time served two practical purposes - keeping insects away from the raw meat and preserving it for longer once it has been cooked. Like most places, the recipe for jerk sauce at Scotchies is a closely guarded secret, but they usually contain peppers, onions, pimento, ginger and chili.

Another good eating option is The Native in Montego Bay, serving up some of the finest Jamaican dishes - from divine smoked marlin to its fabulous boonoonoonoos native platter which has a little bit of everything, including spicy meats, fish and vegetables. Round off your meal with a slice of smooth creamy coconut pie or for something more local opt for duckanoo (sweet dumpling of cornmeal, coconut and banana wrapped in a banana leaf and steamed).

Jamaican Greens After the Jamaican jerk, it was back to the Jamaican greens as we tackled the final two courses of our north-coast quartet – the Tryall Club and Cinnamon Hill Golf Course. Located 12 miles from Montego Bay, the Tryall Club is a 6,772yard Ralph Plummer beauty built in 1960 and features spectacular ocean panoramas and exotic tree-lined fairways, with nine level holes by the sea and nine rolling holes in the hills. It has hosted 13 international events including the prestigious Johnnie Walker World Championship and Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf. Look out for the tee shot through the stone pillars of a historic aqueduct, part of a former sugar plantation and the par-3 fourth, with a shot over Flint River to a devilish putting surface.

By contrast to Half Moon and the Tryall Club, Cinnamon Hill offers a real variety of terrain. The gently rolling front nine of the 6,798-yard par 71,

Jamaica’s White Witch is carved out of 600 acres of lush greenery and rolling countryside, with panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea from 16 of the 18 holes. This is the par-5 opening hole.

Robert von Hagge and Rick Baril layout opens under the gaze of the 18th-century Rose Hall Great House, then rambles past the walled graveyard of Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s family and down to the ocean. Holes 5 and 6 are so close to the water that a cranky sea breeze can easily whip your ball into the deep. “Number 5 is a standout hole that will appeal to connoisseurs of the game, “ said Director of Golf, Robert Ames, brother of PGA tour professional Stephen Ames, who was keeping us company for our round. “It’s aptly named Majestic Blue and it’s a big test. You tee off facing the ocean on this dogleg left downhill par-4, which plays anything from 453 to 420 yards. Watch out though, the ocean borders the last 250-yards of narrow fairway on the right and the green is alongside the beach.”

In contrast, the back nine takes to the remote hills of the plantation, making its way through narrow canyons and across deep chasms with a handful of elevated tee shots. Johnny Cash’s mansion is right next to the 14th fairway and contains much of his memorabilia since the 70s. The par-3 fifteenth drops dramatically to a green next to a picturesque waterfall where scenes from the James Bond movie Live and Let Die were filmed.

Robert was great company and kept us nicely entertained with facts about the course, his planned changes, stories about caddying for Stephen during his famous victory at the Player’s Championship in 2006, and even a few much needed golf lessons thrown into the mix. I’ve never forgotten his advice for a low and slow takeaway on my drives and still use it to this day.

The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the final green of Cinnamon Hill, defining every undulation, bump and hollow. ‘’Hope you’ve enjoyed it lads, “said Rob, after we all holed out. “Maybe I’ll catch you later at Scotchies for some jerk chicken and a beer?”

IAGTO Chief Executive Peter Walton said: “The annual IAGTO Awards were established 15 years ago in order to recognise and reward exceptional contributions to the world of golf travel. Only a handful of awards are presented each year, which gives great credibility to the event and prestige to the recipients” The Golf Destination and Golf Resort awards are voted for by IAGTO’s specialist golf tour operator members that now number 556 from 62 different countries. Each was asked to vote for what they considered to be the best-performing golf resorts of the year. They considered these criteria: customer satisfaction; quality of golf courses and accommodation; value for money; support from suppliers, tourist boards & airlines; professional conduct of suppliers; and accessibility to tee times.

The Undiscovered Golf Destination of the Year Award is voted for by the 183 golf travel journalists from 36 countries of the International Golf Travel Writers Association, who consider the following: to what extent is the golf destination undiscovered; qualities that make for an interesting golf destination; attractiveness of the region and of the courses; golf course quality & accessibility; standard of accommodation; friendliness of the staff; value for money; speed of play; and climate.

Walton added: “I am particularly proud that not only have the IAGTO Awards become the pinnacle of professional achievement within the global golf tourism industry, but that they also now serve to encourage private and public sector organisations to work closely together in the development and promotion of new and existing golf destinations, making them accessible to and enjoyable by the widest range of golfers.

IAGTO Awards Winners’ Comments Golf Destination of the Year – North America: Charleston Helen Hill, Executive Director, Charleston Area Convention & Visitors Bureau “While Charleston has earned many accolades over the years, golf was something of an unknown quantity until recently. Thanks in large part to the many outstanding tournaments played at Kiawah Island – beginning with the legendary 1991 Ryder Cup and most recently the 2012 PGA Championship – Charleston has begun attracting increasing numbers of discerning golfers. Charleston’s incomparable charm, sun-drenched beaches, excellent restaurants and outstanding collection of golf courses makes it a golf destination like no other. We believe it’s this unique combination that has earned Charleston this year’s award as Golf Destination of the Year for North America.”

“Cancun, Rivera Maya and Cozumel have together become the most important golf destination in Mexico, offering 14 golf courses designed by top course architects, four golf academies and the only PGA Tour event in Mexico. This award underlines the Mexican Caribbean as the main tourist attraction today in Mexico with something for everyone: beautiful white sandy beaches, world class luxury resorts and spas, Mayan archaeological sites, eco tourism, culinary festivals and so much more. The warmth of Mexican hospitality and highly-trained tourist professionals make visitors from every corner of the world feel at home. Getting to the Mexican Caribbean is also very easy as Cancun has the largest airport in Latin America. This award from IAGTO demonstrates their trust in our destination and we can guarantee that our visitors will enjoy a golfing holiday to remember.”

Golf Destination of the Year – Africa & Gulf States: Marrakech Abderrafia Zouitene, CEO, Moroccan National Tourist Office “We are delighted to learn that members of the International Association of Golf Tour Operators have nominated Marrakech as the best golfing destination in Africa and the Gulf states for 2015. This prize comes to crown 100 years of golf celebrations in Morocco. And in turn, to prove how popular Marrakech has become as an excellent golfing destination with more than 10 golf courses combined with superb hotels, a rich culture and a perfect weather all year around. This third acknowledgment by the IAGTO members can only be explained by the fact that golf in Morocco is on the right track and we are confident in saying that our Moroccan golf operators are committed more than ever before to working hard to welcome visitors from around the world.”

Golf Destination of the Year – Europe: Dublin East Coast Aine Mangan, Director, Dublin East Coast Golf Alliance “It is a great honour to accept this award and a wonderful recognition for the region from the world’s leading golf tour operators. Dublin East Coast is home to some of the finest parkland and links courses and resorts all within easy access of Dublin Airport and the many attractions our capital city has to offer.

Simon Gregory, Director of Markets, Tourism Ireland “Congratulations to Dublin East Coast Golf Alliance on being named European Golf Destination of the Year for 2015.

testament to the superb experience these clubs offer international golfers. Ireland has some of the greatest golf courses in the world – so it is wonderful to see them recognised by IAGTO in this way. No doubt this latest accolade for Dublin East Coast Golf Alliance will help to remind golf enthusiasts about our world-class golf, helping to boost golf tourism in 2015 and beyond – to the Dublin East Coast region and indeed, elsewhere around the island.”

Golf Destination of the Year – Asia & Australasia: Sanya Tang Sixian, Deputy Director, Sanya Tourism Development Commission “It is a very special moment for Sanya to receive the recognition of IAGTO Golf Tour Operators as the Asia Golf Destination of the Year. Sanya has long been recognised in Asia as China’s tropical paradise, but the incredible quality of our many golf courses, which are all within easy reach of our spectacular beaches and 5 star hotels, is now attracting golf travellers from all continents. As the recipient of this year’s Golf Destination of the Year Award, we would like to invite all golf travellers to consider joining us here for your next golf vacation, in the Sanya Golf Paradise!”

Michel Goget, Vice Chairman, International Hotel Association and General Manger, The Ritz-Carlton, Sanya “As the only tropical island in China, Sanya features amazing golf clubs and world famous internationally branded resorts. Receiving this award from IAGTO golf tour operators across the world demonstrates that Sanya is now recognised as a truly international golf paradise. This past April, we hosted 100 international golf tour operators in Sanya, and they were blown away by the combined experience of top quality golfing, luxurious hotels and superb cuisine, which was topped off by Sanya’s amazing beaches and truly tropical flavour that visitors are often surprised to find in China. With the rising popularity of golf tourism, we know what a great golf destination we have, but now it is time for the rest of the world to discover it for themselves!”

Golf Resort of the Year - Rest of the World: Casa de Campo Peter Bonell, Chief Marketing Officer, Casa de Campo “On behalf of the entire resort, Casa de Campo is honored to receive the Golf Resort of the Year award from IAGTO. We are proud to have such a renowned organization recognize our 90 holes of Pete Dye-designed golf because playing golf at Casa de Campo is an integral component to the Sporting Life. Each of the three courses – Teeth of the Dog, Dye Fore and The Links – presents unique challenges for golfers, whether it is playing the seven oceanfront holes on Teeth against strong seaside winds, or Dye Fore’s signature shots edging 300-foot cliffs

dropping to the Chavon River below. Additionally, Casa de Campo’s attentive staff and upscale amenities make for great vacation experiences on and off the greens.”

Golf Resort of the Year - North America: Pinehurst Resort Jack Bickart, Senior Vice President of Sales, Pinehurst Resort “We are honored that IAGTO has recognized Pinehurst Resort as North America’s 2014 Golf Resort of the Year.

Known as the ‘Cradle of American Golf’, Pinehurst has hosted more single golf championships than any site in America, and made history once again with the US Open and US Women’s Open in consecutive weeks in June.

From Hagan to Hogan to Snead to Nicklaus to Woods and now, to Martin Kaymer and Michelle Wie, Pinehurst offers a legacy and history in golf no other resort in America can match.”

Golf Resort of the Year - Europe: PGA Catalunya Resort Julio Delgado, CEO, PGA Catalunya Resort “The latest award from IAGTO crowns an incredible 15 years for PGA Catalunya Resort, which has established itself as one of Europe’s finest golf experiences. Our mission has, and will always be, focused on delivering an outstanding and memorable golf experience, while adapting to changing market demands. Whilst we are proud of what we have achieved, we know we are just at the beginning of a very exciting journey, and look forward to many more milestones to come.”

Undiscovered Golf Destination of the Year: Slovenia Gorazd Kogoj, Secretary General, Golf Association of Slovenia and EGA Executive Committee Member “The award Slovenia has received from IAGTO is a result of a good cooperation of golf courses, industry partners, hotels and tour operators with the support of the public agency Spirit Slovenia and the Slovenian Tourist Board.

The number of foreign golfers has only just started to rise and we have a lot to do in order to attract golfers from big markets like Sweden, the UK and Germany.

We are sure when people come to Slovenia they will all be surprised by how clean and safe the country is and how easy and close it is to reach all parts of the country including the golf courses. You will not forget the food and wine you can taste in Slovenia or the natural beauty you can grasp at every stop you make all over the country.

We are very grateful for this award since it will give us the motivation to increase the number of foreign golfers visiting our country and it will also influence the activities attracting new players locally and making golf even more popular in Slovenia.”

Past host venue to the Portuguese Open, Oitavos Dunes lies within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, only 30 minutes from Lisbon Airport. It is set among pine woods and reforested dunes, in an area of great natural beauty. Being a seaside golf course, the ocean view is present all the time, although some of the more fantastic scenery comes from the Sintra mountains and Cabo da Roca – the Europe’s most western point seen from the holes 9, 10, 11 and 14.

The layout has been carefully crafted by the renowned Arthur Hills. The design was to create a 6,303 metre pat-71 course, while maintaining and preserving the unique characteristics of the land.

Oitavos Dunes was the 1st Golf Course in Europe and the 2nd in the Word to be recognized as a Certified Signature Sanctuary - Gold. It is already set as one of the best golf courses in Europe and regularly features world rankings.

Amassed by pine trees, sand dunes and bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, the Quinta da Marinha is located in a privileged position in the middle of Estoril – Cascais – Sintra axis, only 20 minutes from Lisbon.

And if you want to take on a Championship course, why not join a prestigious golf event to get the competitive juices flowing? Join the 4th edition of The Oitavos Classic, the international golf tournament, which will take place between 5th and 8th February 2015 at Oitavos Dunes golf course. Play in this friendly but competitive golf tournament and enjoy one of the best natural links golf courses in the world.

Golfers should accept the challenge and feel the sheer excitement of this fantastic golfing experience!

And to completely seal the deal, Oitavos Dunes has a luxury hotel as part of the resort. The Oitavos hotel with its 142 rooms opened late 2010. This luxury hotel is at the pinnacle of contemporary design and innovation, offering a modern outlook of Portugal yet Volume 2 • Issue 24

rooted in Portuguese heritage. The Oitavos sets new standards of excellence, both architecturally and functionally.

The spacious corridors and modern bedrooms, each with their own balcony, boast stunning sea and/or golf views. Guests have the choice of four different restaurants, including one with a gastronomic signature - the Ipsylon Restaurant.

Other dining options are the Ipsylon Bar & Lounge, which is less formal; the Atlantic Pool Bar, located close to the outdoor swimming pool; and the Oitavos Dunes Clubhouse restaurant – Verbasco.

The choice is vast from an array of tasty tapas, salads, pasta, meat and fish to locally sourced fresh seafood. No matter your preferred dining option, you are guaranteed a unique culinary experience with carefully selected ingredients.

The concept of luxury was redefined, as The Oitavos has already established itself as one of the area’s premier venues for leisure travel, dining, business and incentive meetings and social events.

If a luxurious retreat is your thing, don’t look any further than Oitavos Dunes and The Oitavos.

Across the last 20 years, Golf in Asia has developed at an incredible rate. China has boomed with over 700 golf courses being built in the last decade and that trend has sent shockwaves around Asian tourist boards. Thailand is still the #1 golf destination in the region of SE Asia, with revenues in excess of $2 billion being reported last year.

As for Cambodia, it is now the 2nd fastest growing golf destination in Asia, featuring several world class golf courses in close proximity and the breathtaking Angkor Wat Temple, which is located close to all three golf courses in Siem Reap. Over the past decade Cambodia has witnessed a steady influx of golf courses and golf tourists, who make up the main numbers of golfers on the courses as its golf product tries to break away from its elitist reputation. The number of courses is now up to eight, with plans in place to double this number in the coming years.

One of Cambodia’s star golf courses is Angkor Golf Resort. Here, its the heritage and unique traditions that make is stand out from the crowd, as Cambodia forms one of the world’s great new golf destinations.

The beauty of Cambodia truly lies in the richness of its traditions. The elegance of golf comes from its strategy, honour and skill. As the winner of 6 Majors and 39 tournaments, the legendary Nick Faldo is considered to be Europe’s greatest golfer. At Angkor Golf Resort he has triumphed yet again. At once classic and contemporary, “the Faldo course” is a masterpiece of natural beauty and athletic challenge.
