In a move set to redefine golfing in Southeast Asia, the Bay of Lights development announces the Bay 19 Golf Course commencement. This $41 million investment, part of a $16 billion township project, opens a new chapter in Cambodian golf and marks a bold statement in luxury sports and leisure.

The project’s significance is highlighted by the attendance of high-profile government officials at its groundbreaking ceremony. The Guests of Honor included His Excellency Governor Kuoch Chamroeun of the Sihanoukville Provincial Office and representative from the Ministry of Tourism, His Excellency Seng Meng Hong, alongside special guests His Excellency Senior Minister Ly Thuch and His Excellency Ambassador Santo Darmosumarto of the Republic of Indonesia, signaling strong governmental support and international interest.

Bay 19 Golf Course, from Cambodia’s traditional inland links, emerges as a destination. As the first USGA-certified seaside course in the country, it offers a blend of scenic beauty and championship standards. This coastal adventure goes beyond a typical round of golf, immersing players in an environment, setting Bay 19 apart in the world of golf.

Envisioned as a golfing paradise, Bay 19 incorporates a driving range within an exclusive resort complex. This haven will feature four four-star hotels, three five to six-star resorts, and four scenic walkways, all designed to provide a coastal experience directly connected to the golf course. This makes Bay 19 not just a destination for golfers but a retreat for all visitors.

The initial phase, featuring the driving range, is set to open by Q3 2025, with the full 18-hole course golfers by 2027. The entire development is on track for completion by 2029, Bay 19 becomes a for golfing and leisure in the Indochina region.

Bay 19 Golf represents an opportunity for regional golf enthusiasts and potential investors. Its coastal golfing experience, combined with amenities and strong governmental endorsement, positions Bay 19 as a destination for investment and leisure. This development is not just a game-changer for Cambodia but a beacon of golfing excellence in Southeast Asia.

This is great news for those who can afford it.

I guess they can work on alleviating poverty some other time.

Well, I get your point ... but consider this ... golf tournaments often raise big money for charity causes ... #true #confirmed

Not all golfer are pretentious A-holes #JohnDaley #LeeTrevino #MoeNorman

Golf is ridiculously overpriced in Cambodia. This will.br another $100 plus tax plus tips plus caddy plus cart plus plus a round.

With course lifetime membership available for $40,000 plus.
And membership doesn't even let you play for free, just for a reduced price. Back home I had annual memberahip of a local, very good course for about £1500 a year, this allowed me free access to the course anytime. I'd call in on the way home from work in the summer time for 9 holes a few times a week. And also played nearly every weekend.

Golf is more than twice as expensive here than in UK. I really enjoy it but I just can't justify the expense of playing regularly here.

Yes, but you could also employ 15 Khmer staff for the cost of one junior green keeper in the UK.
