The town of
Nuwara Eliya lies in the central hills of Sri
Lanka , 6200 feet above sea level. The 160 km
drive from Colombo is one of the most scenic in
the island with wonderful views and a visual
introduction to the tea country of Sri Lanka.
The jewel in the
crown of Nuwara Eliya is the 117 year old course
in the heart of the town. The Golf Course
starts from one corner of the town and is
nestled into the valley, between the town and
the surrounding forested hills. When approaching
via Kandy , the 6th green is one of the first
views the visitor has of Nuwara Eliya; in fact
most of the course lies in the heart of the
town, but is shielded from disturbance by a
thick belt of foliage. The course has been
hailed as one of the most naturally scenic in
the world. |
