💰 Secret! The Ultimate Budget Golf Trip to Cambodia

Are you searching for an astonishing new golf trip? The answer is Siem Reap, Cambodia. This city is the gateway to Angkor Wat. It also holds the secret to world-class budget golf.

Siem Reap offers three championship courses. They come without the typical high price tag. You can play legendary designs. You will also stay, eat, and travel for incredibly low costs. This is the ultimate high-value golf getaway.

The True Budget Secret: Value vs. Cost

Why is this for the Budget Golfer? The savings are huge.

• Comparison: A quality hotel room in Siem Reap averages $30-$50 USD. A comparable room in Thailand often starts at $50-$80. Singapore? Expect $150 and up.
• Daily Expenses: Street food costs just $2-$4 per meal. A one-hour traditional massage is often under $15. Therefore, your daily spending budget plummets. This frees up your money for elite golf.
• The Vibe: Siem Reap is relaxed and walkable. It is much less chaotic than Bangkok or other capital cities. This adds to the stress-free, budget-friendly experience.

The Unforgettable Hook: Temples and Fairways

This is the thrill of Siem Reap. It offers a cultural experience found nowhere else. You can combine golf with the world’s greatest wonders. Imagine playing a great course in the morning. Then, you explore the majestic Angkor Wat temples in the afternoon. This cultural hook offers incredible value. In fact, few other golf destinations can compete.

Siem Reap’s MUST-PLAY Golf Courses (with Indicative Rates)

Siem Reap boasts three excellent courses. They provide perfect variety for a budget-friendly long weekend.

Golf Course	Designer	Weekday Rate (USD)	Weekend/Holiday Rate (USD)
Siem Reap Booyoung Country Club	Kentaro Sato	$110	$110
Phokeethra Country Club	Major General Weerayudth Phetbuasak of Weeyos Golf Design	$110 – $160	$130 – $190
Angkor Golf Resort	Nick Faldo	$155	$170

Note: Prices generally include the mandatory green fee, caddy fee, and shared golf cart. Playing a Signature Faldo course at this price is the core value proposition.

Caddy Culture and Your Budget

Your caddy is your guide. They are mandatory at Cambodian courses. Crucially, the fee is usually included in the price above.

• Tipping: While service staff earn low wages, tipping is not strictly mandatory, but it is deeply appreciated. A general tip of $15 to $20 USD for good service is customary. This is still a small cost compared to caddy fees in Singapore or Western countries.
• Service: Expect exceptional service. Your caddy will read putts, provide cool towels, and even hold your umbrella.

Where to Stay

For a mid-range golf traveler in Siem Reap, the best value lies in securing a quality hotel that offers luxury amenities (like a pool and spa) for a fraction of the price you would pay elsewhere in Southeast Asia. This ensures you can fully relax after a round on the course.
