Golf in Sri Lanka
7 days / 6 nightsPrivate tour
The history of golf in Ceylon dates back to the late 19th century, when the Colombo Club was awarded the title of Royal by King George. Another course was later established among the ancient trees of Nuwara Eliya, followed by one in Kandy, designed by Donald Steel. Today the country is home to four of the best 18 hole courses in Asia, ideal for combining the enjoyment of the greens with cultural discovery.
