Golf Holidays in Sri Lanka

Golf Breaks in Sri Lanka

Located just south of India in amongst the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka boasts an incredibly diverse landscape with deep rainforests and stunning sandy beaches. There may only be 4 golf courses in this tropical country, however they are nicely spread out around to allow you to explore more of the country when you are away from the fairways. For those who are more into resorts, the Shangri-La Hambantota on the south coast is the perfect retreat, with its own golf course also.

Sri Lanka Golf and Resorts

Away from the golf course there is plenty to explore whilst visiting Sri Lanka, including various National Parks, Safaris and amazing beaches. However the four golf courses scattered around the country compliment the stunning landscape very well, and are well worth the visit with their tree-lined layouts.

The Shangri-La Hambantota Resort only opened in 2016, but with secluded beaches and its own golf course it comes at no surprise that it has become a large attraction for visitors.
