Sri Lanka is a hidden gem for golf enthusiasts, offering a mix of historic and scenic courses set against breathtaking landscapes. From coastal fairways with stunning ocean views to lush, high-altitude courses surrounded by tea plantations, the island provides a diverse golfing experience. With a tropical climate and well-maintained courses, Sri Lanka is an ideal year-round golf destination. Many courses date back to the colonial era, combining rich history with challenging layouts that cater to all skill levels.
A must-play course is the Royal Colombo Golf Club, established in 1879, one of the oldest golf clubs outside Britain. This par-71 course features tree-lined fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and scenic water hazards, making for a classic parkland experience. For a cooler, picturesque setting, the Nuwara Eliya Golf Club is located 6,000 feet above sea level in the misty central highlands.
This century-old course weaves through rolling hills and tea estates, offering tight fairways and challenging greens. Golfers can also explore the Victoria Golf & Country Resort, near Kandy, known for its breathtaking views and championship layout.
