Walking distance from the town center spread over 90 acres, over a hundred years old (built in 1891), the 18 holes golf course is one of Nuwara Eliya’s biggest attractions. It is reputed to be the only Golf Course where all the holes are visible from the Club House or accessible by car. In the old British cemetery at the rear of the Club House is theNuwaraEliya Golf Club memorial to Major Rogers, the elephant hunter credited with killing around 1500 elephants.

The Nuwara Eliya Golf Club, founded in 1889, is one of the oldest golf clubs in Asia and probably the world and is enriched with a tradition and an ambiance, which is hard to equal. The Club is situated at the foot of Mount Pedro (Mount Piduruthalagala) and is surrounded by some of the finest tea gardens in Sri Lanka.

The 18-hole course has a length of 6075 yards. The course is a testing par 71 consists of fairways, which are long and narrow, bordered by tall trees and dense shrubbery. Good positional play is required, and the terrain enfolds the golfer in a constant uphill and downhill trek with many water hazards. The grass on the greens is local, mixed with bluegrass. We welcome golfers of all ages and abilities.

We are known as ‘the friendliest club’ and aim to provide an experience that exceeds expectations on the golf course and in the clubhouse.

We work very hard at providing a course that can be enjoyed by everyone. Our members play socially and competitively and our resident golf professional provides lessons on all days of the week.

But you don’t have to be a member to enjoy the Nuwara Eliya Golf Club. Casual golfers are welcome to book a tee off time and play either 10 or 18 holes.
