In 1980 The Dead Kennedys sang about a Holiday in Cambodia (I can feel a musical theme going on this week!) but now it seems those lovable hard core, punks from California may have been ahead of their time. In recent years Cambodia has been marketing itself in the International Golf travel market as the newest hot destination. 

The country which gave us Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge now hopes to follow in the footsteps of Vietnam, which last year won the International Association of Golf Tour Operators’ World’s Best Up-and-Coming Golf Destination award. (I assume it was a big award to get that inscription on it)

Cambodia has now doubled it’s number of luxury golf courses to four, one of which has been designed by Nick Faldo to PGA standards and The Arnold Palmer Design Company is currently building a new 36 hole course as part of a 5 star, billion dollar resort.

I would love to be able to go down the pub and tell my golf mates that instead of playing in boring old Spain or Portugal, I had spent a week on the links in Cambodia - has a certain ring about it!
