Cambodia’s Angkor Palace Resort and Spa is offering a two night ‘Golf @ The Palace’ package to celebrate the opening of a new championship golf course designed by Nick Faldo.

The package is priced at US$479 for two people and includes a round of golf at the new course, daily breakfast, one dinner and two-way transfers from the hotel to the airport and golf course.

“I’m certain this golf course will become world renowned. The first signature designed golf course in Cambodia challenges golfers of all standards, from casual weekend players to seasoned professionals” said Nick Faldo, captain of the 2008 European Ryder Cup.

“I believe our course will turn Siem Reap and this part of South East Asia into a true golfing destination while still remaining a spiritual Mecca for tourists,” he said.

The Siem Reap resort is 15 minutes away from the temples of Angkor and features wireless internet access, business centre, 24 hour in-room dining, concierge services, Royal Ballroom, spa, gym, tennis courts and a swimming pool.

“We have created something that will take golf to a whole new level in this country and the region” said Adam Robertson, Operations Manager of Angkor Golf Resort.
