| Name | Long | Description | Location |
| The Royal Colombo Golf Club |
5770m (par 71) |
A flat course with board fairways which looks simple to beginners but there are many water hazards and well guarded bunkers which quickly change that opinion. | 20 min. drive from all 5 star hotels in Colombo |
| Victoria Golf Club, Digana |
6190m (par 73) |
This championship golf course designed by Donald Steel and was inaugurated early in 1999. The fairways are rather narrow in a hilly country side. Impressive natural outcrops of rocks make this course very distinctive. | 25 km east of Kandy & 150 km from Colombo |
| The Nuwara Eliya Golf Club |
5520m (par 71) |
This course is reputed to be one of Asia’s finest. The fairways are long and narrow and bordered by trees and thick bushes. It demands skillful “position playing” and the hilly terrain makes it essential that you know the game. | 10 min. walk from the Grand Hotel and 190 km from Colombo |
