A golf holiday in Cambodia brings together memorable courses, fascinating culture and the pleasure of sharing it all with fellow golfers. With your journey booked, you can start looking forward to the experiences ahead.
At Golf Journeys, helping you prepare is part of looking after you. From assistance with your visa to coordinating your golf clubs during the tour, our team works with you before departure and supports you along the way.
There are a few personal essentials to prepare, including your passport and travel insurance. For everything else, your Golf Journeys Travel Specialist is your starting point. We’ll explain what’s needed, help with the arrangements and make sure you know what to do at the right time.
Personal Support Before You Travel
Your holiday preparations should feel like the beginning of something exciting. You have a team to turn to whenever a question comes up.
Your Travel Specialist can help you understand how your flights fit with your itinerary, assist with your Cambodian visa and explain your arrival arrangements. Our local team coordinates the transport and golf arrangements included in your programme.
Whether you’re unsure which document to use for a visa application or how your clubs will travel between destinations, get in touch. These are exactly the details we’re here to help with.
Getting Your Flights and Arrival Arrangements Right
We can help you work through flight options that suit the beginning and end of your holiday, including connection times and travelling with your golf clubs.
If you’re arranging your own flights, share your proposed itinerary with your Travel Specialist before purchasing. We can help check how it fits with the programme and your included transfers. If your flights are already booked, send us the details so we can coordinate the relevant arrangements.
Thinking about arriving early to settle in or staying a little longer? Speak with us about how additional nights and transfers can fit around your holiday.
Your travel information will explain where you’re staying and the arrival arrangements for your journey, so you know what to expect when you land.
Start With a Valid Passport
One of the most useful things you can do early is check your passport. Cambodia requires at least six months’ validity remaining when you arrive, so allow time for a renewal if needed.
Use your name exactly as it appears in your passport for flights and visa applications. If you’re renewing your passport, let your Travel Specialist know before we help with any arrangements that depend on those details.
Keep your passport somewhere accessible during the journey, with a secure digital copy of the identification page as a backup.
We Can Help Arrange Your Cambodian e-Visa
Our Travel Specialists can coordinate your Cambodian e-Visa application with our local partners, who can process it on your behalf for US$40 per person.
Simply provide:
- A clear copy of your passport’s identification page.
- A recent passport-style photograph with a white background.
- Your flight details.
Get in touch with your Travel Specialist around 30 days before arrival to get started. We’ll explain what to send and coordinate the application with our local team, so you have support throughout the process.
If you prefer to arrange your own e-Visa, you can apply through the official Cambodia e-Visa website. We’re still here to help if you have questions or need accommodation details from your programme.
Once your e-Visa is approved, keep a printed copy with your travel documents and save a digital copy you can access offline.
Your Arrival Card: A Simple Step in the Final Week
Cambodia’s e-Arrival declaration is separate from your visa. For arrival by air, complete it through the official Cambodia e-Arrival website within seven days before you arrive.
There’s no need to organise this months ahead. It’s a short preparation step for the final week, using your passport, flight and accommodation details.
If you’re unsure which hotel information to enter or where to find something in your itinerary, your Travel Specialist can help. Once submitted, save the confirmation or QR code so it’s easy to retrieve when travelling.
Bringing Your Own Clubs, With Help Along the Way
There’s something reassuring about stepping onto a new course with your own clubs. Our golf club valet service helps make travelling with them easier.
During the golf programme, our local guides, drivers and caddies coordinate the handling of your clubs. This includes transporting bags to the courses, arranging storage between designated rounds and getting your clubs onto the correct buggy ready for play.
For journeys involving Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, we also arrange road transport for golf bags where included in the programme. This means your clubs can travel separately while you take the arranged domestic flight.
We’ll explain when to hand your clubs to the team and when to collect them for packing. You’ll still pack your own clubs into their travel cover and bring them to the designated collection point, while we coordinate their onward handling.
It’s practical support that lets you spend more time enjoying the golf and the company.
Choosing a Travel Cover for Your Clubs
A suitable travel cover is worth organising early, especially if this is your first overseas golf holiday.
A padded soft cover is generally easier to fold away and store, while a hard case provides a rigid outer shell but can be heavier and bulkier. Look for a cover that fits your golf bag comfortably, with sturdy wheels, useful handles and padding around the club heads. Your airline’s packaging conditions should also guide your choice.
You can browse golf travel covers at specialist retailers such as Drummond Golf and GolfBox.
For a soft travel cover, consider an adjustable support rod, often called a mushroom stick or stiff arm. It sits inside the bag, extending above your longest club to help protect against pressure from the top. The Bag Boy Backbone is one example.
Your Travel Specialist can also help you work through the golf baggage requirements for your flights. Allowances depend on the airline and fare, so sharing your flight details helps us give you relevant guidance.
Travel Insurance and Your Personal Essentials
Travel insurance is worth considering when you begin paying for your holiday, so you understand what protection applies before departure as well as while travelling.
Golf Journeys has partnered with Cover-More to help with your travel insurance needs. Choose a policy that suits your circumstances, and ask the insurer about cover for your golf equipment, planned activities and any existing medical conditions.
Once arranged, keep your policy number and emergency assistance details handy. Your insurer can explain the cover available, while our team can help with questions about your itinerary and planned golf activities.
If you take regular medication, plan your supply for the trip and ask your doctor or pharmacist about any supporting paperwork and destination restrictions.
Please also tell us about dietary requirements or mobility needs ahead of departure. Knowing these details helps us prepare with our local partners and discuss any arrangements you may need.
Looking Forward to Your Cambodia Golf Holiday
You have a team behind you as your departure approaches. We can help with your visa, explain the arrival paperwork and coordinate the arrangements included in your holiday. Once the golf begins, our local team and golf club valet service help keep the days running smoothly.
Keep your passport current, arrange suitable insurance and share the personal information we need to assist you. We’ll work through the remaining preparations together.
If anything is unclear, contact your Golf Journeys Travel Specialist. Looking after you starts well before the first tee.
