Sri Lanka Golf Holiday

Hambantota - Colombo                                    

------------------------------------------------------------

This leisurely golf holiday through Sri Lanka begins in Hambantota, home to the country’s first all-purpose golf resort. Nestled between coconut plantations and the Indian Ocean, Shangri-La's Golf and Country Club offers the ideal blend of world-class golf and natural beauty. Designed by Robert Wright, the course integrates local water features and lush landscapes, offering both a challenge and a sanctuary for wildlife.

You'll enjoy two rounds at this stunning coastal course, balanced with local cultural excursions — including a guided village tour and an unforgettable safari at Yala National Park, where you may spot leopards, elephants, and sloth bears in their natural habitat.

From the south coast, the tour travels north to Colombo, with a scenic journey that stops at Mirissa Beach, a turtle hatchery, and the UNESCO-listed Galle Fort, where Dutch-colonial charm meets coastal views.

Once in Colombo, you’ll tee off at the historic Royal Colombo Golf Club, a cornerstone of Sri Lankan golf since 1879. With its classic English parkland design and rich heritage — including the Royal Seal granted by King George V — this 6560-yard course delivers a refined playing experience in the heart of the city.

Beyond golf, the itinerary also includes a Colombo city tour, capped off with a dinner at the iconic Lotus Tower, South Asia’s tallest structure and a striking symbol of modern Sri Lanka.

This itinerary is perfect for travellers seeking an upscale mix of championship golf, wildlife, and coastal culture — all delivered with comfort and style.

As you may expect from a course that was founded by the British is has a distinctive parkland feel. Towering trees line the fairways, creating intimate holes, narrow landing areas and a challenging test for all levels of golfers.
