Golf For Good, founded by British expat Tim Phillipson, pairs luxury golf holidays with powerful community impact. Each trip finances the installation of a brand-new, safe playground structure in a Cambodian village – a life-changing upgrade from the rusted, broken equipment still used across many rural schools today.
From Dangerous to Safe: The Urgent Need in Cambodia’s Schools
Across rural Cambodia, school playgrounds have not been properly maintained since the 1980s. Metal slides and swings, weakened by decades of monsoon weather, have become hazardous structures that frequently cause injuries.
Recent project photos show the stark contrast: dangerous rusted slides with sharp edges replaced by strong, modern equipment that will last for decades. These improvements not only protect children but also increase school attendance, boost wellbeing, and give communities peace of mind.
Every Golf For Good group has the honour of officially opening the playground they helped fund, meeting the teachers and children whose lives they’ve touched.

A New Category of Meaningful Golf Travel
As more golfers seek experiences that go beyond the traditional holiday package, Golf For Good represents a growing movement: socially conscious golf travel.
“Our golfers don’t just take a holiday – they change lives. They play incredible courses, enjoy five-star environments, and return home knowing their trip has made Cambodia safer for hundreds of children. It’s an experience that stays with them forever.”
Long after the final putt drops, the legacy of each Golf For Good trip remains standing in a village schoolyard — a playground that will serve thousands of children for years to come. In an era where golfers are increasingly conscious of how and where they travel, Golf For Good proves that a golf holiday can be more than a luxury escape — it can be a force for real change.
