Sri Lanka Vacation

Nuwara Eliya Golf Club
Nuwara Eliya Golf Club encompasses full of scenic beauty and is an 18-hole golf course that lies at the base of a chilling elevation, Mount Pidurutalagala, 1890 ft above sea level. Laid out by the Gordon Highlanders stationed in Nuwara Eliya in 1889, the course is acknowledged to be one of Asia's best, fringed by forest cover and gifted with a stunning view. Not only scenic surroundings that the course comprise but due to the fact that it features fir-lined fairways, bunkers, especially that surround 9th hole, and a river on 6th hole that also make the course very challenging. 

Victoria International Golf Club
The newest addition to Sri Lanka's golfing assets is the Victoria International Golf Club , opened in January 1999, situated on the shore of the Victoria Reservoir, 20 km away from Kandy. Designed by Donald Steel & Company, it is another most enjoyable course in the island. The challenging T-shots and narrow coconut-trees lined fairways are really golfers' obstacles. The 3rd and 5th holes are beautifully overlooking the sweeping panorama of the reservoir. It is recommended to get a caddy as the greens are hard to read. Caddies are courteous and mannered and getting one of them is really contributing to the enjoyment of the game.

Three new 18 hole golf links will be opened shortly at Pelwatte, Avissawella and Rakwana providing the golfing enthusiasts visiting Sri Lanka a wider range golfing facilities to choose from.
