Golf Holidays in Sri Lanka

Something that is unique to golfing in Sri Lanka is the abundance of nature and wildlife, framed by lakes and the beautiful Indian Ocean, shaping the course for the most incredible experience.

The 18-hole golf course is made up of long, narrow fairways, bordered by rows of towering eucalyptus trees and elegant cypresses, held together by dense acacia shrubbery.

One of the biggest attractions in Sri Lanka is Sigiriya, which is known as the Eighth Wonder of the World, and is around 2 hours north of Kandy. The Sigiriya rock plateau is formed from magma extract of an extinct volcano and boasts astonishing views across Sri Lanka which attracts thousands of tourists every year.

Just over an hours drive from Shangri La’s Hambantota Resort, sits the Yala National Park, which is a huge area of forest, with grassland and lagoons bordering the Indian Ocean. It’s home to a variety of wildlife including leopards, elephants, crocodiles, and hundreds of different bird species and is certainly worth the visit.

When staying at Nuwara Eliya, and after enjoying the golf course here, it is an absolute must to visit the Hill Country’s Haputale Mountains, where Sir Thomas Lipton launched his tea empire. So if you are into your tea, it will be worth stopping by here to enjoy the lush green tea gardens here at “Little England”.
