Victoria golf and country resort is regularly voted in the world's top ten courses. Each hole offers a new challenge against a backdrop of stunning tree lined scenery in the hills of central Sri Lanka, 30 minutes drive from Kandy. As you tee off from the 6th hole you look down 100 feet to the fairway, with quite awe-inspiring views, but also a huge test of nerve as you pull your driver out. The course has recently been voted best course on the subcontinent for the second time in succession and is a golfing experience as iconic as St Andrews or Augusta.

The club house has a relaxed and informal feel, invoking images of old Ceylon, but combined with the understated glamour one would expect room a five star resort. The clubhouse is well stocked, caddies most of whom are near scratch golfers are readily available, and a superb pro is on hand to offer tips on technique or the intricacies of this moist unique course.

There is far more to the resort though than the world famous course. Luxurious accommodation and traditional Sri Lankan service make staying at Victoria a unique experience. Light, airy chalets feature twin bedrooms, each with en suite bath room with private open air showers, and all have stunning views over the golf course and mountains beyond.
