The town of nuwara Eliya lies in the central hills of Sri Lanka , 6200 feet above sea level. The 160 km drive from Colombo is one of the most sceneic in the island with wonderful views and a visual introduction to the tea country of Sri Lanka .

The jewel in the crown of NE is the 117 year old course in the heart of the town.

The Golf Course starts from one corner of the town and is nestled into the valley, between the town and the surrounding forested hills.When approaching via Kandy , the 6th green is one of the first views the visitor has of Nuwara Eliya; in fact most of the course lies in the heart of the town, but is shielded from disturbance, but a thick belt of foliage.

The course is one of the most naturally scenic in the world. In the days of British occupation Sri Lanka had several Golf courses scattered throughout the Island . However, historically, there were only two Championship Courses, those of the Royal Colombo Golf Club and the Nuwara Eliya Golf Club.

Sri Lanka now boasts two more reputed Golf Courses. The first, the Digana Golf and Country Club, situated in the outskirts of Kandy , is a picturesque, Donald Steel designed 18 hole championship course.
The second is the Waters Edge Country Club, in the suburbs of Colombo . This course is still under construction but is soon expecting completion. All four 18 hole courses are situated within a few hours drive of each other, making it a very viable, golfing ‘round trip'.
