The
Nuwara
Eliya
Golf
Club,
founded
in
1889,
is
one
of
the
oldest
golf
clubs
in
Asia
and
probably
the
world.
It
is
an
institution,
rich
in
tradition,
history
and
carries
an
ambience
unparalleled
in
this
country.
Founded,
primarily
for
their
rest
and
recreation,
by
the
British
planters
who
cultivated
the
land
for
tea
in
the
Nuwara
Eliya
district,
to
this
day
it
caters
to
some
of
the
customs
and
traditions
of
the
country’s
colonial
past.
This
quaint
admixture
of
old-world
charm
and
modern
trappings
invests
it
with
a
special
aura,
and
is
the
essence
of
its
attractiveness.
It
is
located
in
Nuwara
Eliya,
known
the
world
over
for
the
premier
quality
of
the
tea
produced
in
the
plantations
that
surround
the
club.
Despite
being
situated
just
a
stone’s
throw
from
the
town,
the
club
still
maintains
an
air
of
exclusivity,
a
desirable
apartness,
so
that
when
one
enters
its
gates,
one
is
transported
to
a
world
that
has
been
left
behind
by
the
march
of
history.
The
18-hole
course,
6,399
yards
long,
is
a
testing
par
71
and
is
made
up
of
long
,
narrow
fairways,
bordered
by
rows
of
towering
eucalyptus
trees
and
elegant
cypresses,
held
together
by
dense
acacia
shrubbery.
Good
positional
play
is
a
must
for
a
positive
outcome
and
the
course
terrain,
with
its
succession
of
undulating
dales
and
hills,
and
the
many
water
hazards,
confronts
the
serious
golfer
with
a
series
of
stimulating
challenges.
Yet,
despite
its
natural
difficulties,
it
also
caters
to
both
the
casual
golfer
and
the
enthusiastic
amateur.
The
grass
on
the
greens
is
native,
mixed
with
bluegrass.
We
welcome
golfers
of
all
ages
and
abilities.
We
have
a
well-earned
reputation
as
‘one
of
the
friendliest

in
the
country
and
aim
to
provide
an
experience
that
exceeds
expectations,
both
on
the
golf
course
and
in
the
clubhouse.
The
service
at
the
club
is
designed
to
care
for
the
family
whilst
the
serious
players
compete
out
on
the
park.
Assisted
by
a
team
of
highly
competent
ground
staff,
we
work
very
hard
at
providing
a
course
that
can
be
enjoyed
by
everyone.
Our
members
play
socially
and
competitively.
Our
resident
golf
professional
provides
lessons
on
all
days
of
the
week.
