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 scenic in the island with wonderful views and a visual introduction to the tea country of Sri Lanka.

 

The jewel in the crown of Nuwara Eliya 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 by a thick belt of foliage. The course has been hailed as one of the most naturally scenic in the world.

 

Sri Lanka has a total of four 18 hole championship courses, including NEGC. With two in the suburbs of Colombo, one in Kandy and our classic course in Nuwara Eliya it is a wonderful golfing roundtrip - with just a few hours driving between them. The busy golfer can also cover all 4 courses using chartered Seaplane or Helicopter - with a maximum of just 30 minutes flying time!
