Silk Way Ceylon Tours: Your Partner for Golf Tours in Sri Lanka

Thinking about a golf tour of Sri Lanka? Few destinations combine championship-standard fairways with genuine cultural depth quite like this island. Silk Way Ceylon Tours’ 15-day golf sri lanka itinerary takes in five of the country’s best golf courses in Sri Lanka, from the colonial charm of the capital to a resort course on the south coast, without ever losing sight of the sightseeing, tea plantations and wildlife that make Sri Lanka worth the trip in the first place.

Golf here comes with real heritage attached — Royal Colombo Golf Club was established in 1879, making it the oldest golf club in Sri Lanka and the second-oldest Royal golf club anywhere outside the United Kingdom.

Five Golf Courses, One Golf Tour of Sri Lanka

Royal Colombo Golf Club (Colombo) — the historic starting point, right in the capital, with a classic parkland feel.
Victoria Golf & Country Resort (Kandy) — consistently rated by golfers for its views over the hill country.
Nuwara Eliya Golf Club (Nuwara Eliya) — set in the cool, misty highlands for a completely different round.
Shangri-La’s Hambantota Golf Resort & Spa (Hambantota) — a modern resort course on the south coast, and the most-searched golf course name in Sri Lanka.
Eagles’ Catalina Golf Course (Koggala) — an optional coastal add-on for extra golfing time.

More Than Golf: Culture, Tea Country and Wildlife Between Rounds

This isn’t a golf-only itinerary. Between rounds, the trip takes in the Sigiriya Rock Fortress and Dambulla Cave Temple, a Kandy cultural show and the Temple of the Tooth, tea factory visits in Nuwara Eliya, and a Yala National Park safari before finishing on the south coast around Galle Fort and Bentota.

Travelling with a wider group? The same trip works well alongside a Sri Lanka safari tour for non-golfing members of the party, or a broader cultural tour of Sri Lanka for those who’d rather skip the fairways altogether. Corporate or school groups mixing golf with other sports can also look at our sports tours to Sri Lanka
