Nuwara Eliya Golf Club

Beautiful place. Very reasonable if the club member is staying. Lovely food as always. Rooms are cosy and clean. The library is also available, can play golf and badminton. Close to town hence can go for a walk. Highly recommended. We enjoyed the stay.

Been coming to this place since I was a kid. Food has stayed amazing throughout. But the golf experience is far from what I expected. All I wanted was the drive some balls. My cadie let me hit about 20 balls with the iron which he said was the warmup. But when he came back and I said I wanted to use the driver he complained it’s too far and basically took all the clubs to the putt putt area. Afterwards, when the session ended he asked for a tip and I said no and went to sit with my family. Then I left for the bathroom, and when I came back. He apparently walked up to my elderly parents and basically forced them to tip an insane amount!!!! I am beyond embarrassed. I came on this trip to relive the days my parents brought me when I was younger and now I have a very sour taste now for this club. Been a member here since forever but now I’m not so sure.

We didnt stay here to sleep, just to play ten holes. The prices they charged didnt correspond with the website. Thats okay, because Sri Lanka is affordable as it is right? Well... No. We were obligated to buy certain shirts with collars, which is acceptable, because you have to look sharp on a golf course! The caddies didnt need to wear them though, so that was a red flag maybe. Than we had to pay large sums of money (more than you ll spend in the Netherlands for a higher quality golf course). But, everything was included they said. The terrain looked quite shabby. It was muddy, which is okay due to the weather conditions, but the terrain was dirty and littered. Not a good sight to behold. The worst thing was that the caddies were basically begging for money, which started at the fourth hole already. They expected a $20 tip for two hours of caddy'ing. We gave them $10 each and were offended and instantly rude. This was very inapropriate and not like the Sri Lanka we know. All in all it costed us over $100 per person for a very mediocre experience, shabby terrain and plain rude caddies. After leaving i had a bad taste in my mouth. You are better off golfing in your home country as it will be cheaper and more enjoyable.

One of the oldest golf clubs in Asia and probably the world. It is an institution, rich in tradition, ... A: Nuwara Eliya Golf Club offers different well-furnished rooms equipped with all modern conveniences and comforts.

Even if you don't play golf at all, you should check this place out! As you still can have swing practice with Proba, or have a delicious meat dishes in its restaurant, which are a bit in scarcity in Sri Lanka :) And the place itself filled with history, and very interesting to check out its library or take a look on champion list on the wall. A must.
