SRI LANKA GOLF VACATION

Sri Lanka golf vacation, visit a destination in the Indian Ocean, which you do not have immediately on your wish list. But wherever the British Empire used to have its colonies, there are always excellent golf courses. Traditional courses in the former Ceylon are now supplemented by modern facilities that meet all the requirements of modern courses.

Sri Lanka has four of the most interesting golf courses in Asia and is therefore ideal for a golf vacation. Experienced golfers treat the country as an insider tip because with fantastic golf courses, exclusive golf hotels, and tropical landscapes, the island nation in the Indian Ocean attracts more and more golf tourists every year.

Colombo is the international entrance for your Sri Lanka golf trip. The west coast of Sri Lanka is the front door of the island and – via the international airport in Katunayake, just outside of Colombo – the destination for all visitors to the country. This is Sri Lanka in its most developed and populous region: the busiest, liveliest, and most westernized region of the country, in which the capital and the main coastal towns are located.

The legendary Royal Colombo Golf Club was built by the British over 130 years ago and is the second oldest Royal Golf Club outside the UK. The almost 6000 m long course is varied and has a few challenging water hazards. The tree-lined fairways and greens are well maintained and make every golfer’s heart beat faster.

The Victoria Golf Club is about 1 hour from Kandy and is one of the “100 most beautiful golf courses in the world”. Let yourself be enchanted by the colonial charm and the special atmosphere. The award-winning 18-hole course designed by Donald Steele stretches over 500 hectares. Embedded in the picturesque hilly landscape and tropical vegetation, this golf course is certainly one of the highlights of a Sri Lanka golf vacation.

Nuwara Eliya, another recommended destination of the Sri Lanka golf tour is in the central highlands of Sri Lanka. The picture book landscape and the temperate climate make this city something very special. And of course, there is another traditional golf course here, the Nuwara Eliya Golf Club. Playing here means going back over 100 years to the colonial era of Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka’s latest golf course is located on the south coast and is combined with a high-quality resort, the Shangri-La Hambantota. The course extends over a huge coconut palm plantation and offers both beginners and experienced players spectacular views and special challenges.

This leaves you with enough options for a flexible division of time between sport, leisure, and culture, simply the perfect combination for a golf holiday in Sri Lanka.
