With its palm-fringed fairways and plethora of water hazards, Angkor Golf Resort is a visual stunner. Perhaps more importantly it’s also a sterling test of anyone’s game – with various tee box locations allowing for both low and mid-handicappers to choose the right course length for their game. The par-5 16th is a 588-yard monster that is prime test of psychological mettle due to water and a fiendishly-angled green. The par-3 17th is a tricky long short hole, while the 18th, which features a water hazard running all the way down the left side, is an absolute peach.
