Golfers can now indulge in a golf holiday to Sri Lanka with Asia’s largest golf tour operator, Golfasian (www.golfasian.com).
As part of an ongoing expansion and increasing requests from return customers, Golfasian is now offering Sri Lanka as an additional golf holiday destination to choose from in Asia.
Sri Lanka, the pearl of the Indian ocean has just been named Number 1 in Travel + Leisure’s World’s ‘Best Islands in the World’.
“No matter how many images one looks at or video clips one browses through, the actual experience can never be matched. A small island perhaps, but the enormity of its diverse, complex, exotic cultures, hydraulic civilization, ancient temples, bustling towns, delectable cuisine – home to the internationally famous Sri Lankan crab, its climate – its higher elevation chill and sun kissed beaches, journeying along meandering roads and dusty gravel tracks within its national parks – the experience is always ‘new’ and it makes this island a ‘giant’,” said Pascal Orczech, Golfasian’s Director of Business Development.
He went on to say that “Golfers travelling to Sri Lanka with Golfasian can be rest assured to enjoy the same high-level service standards and attention to detail they are used to in our core destinations Thailand and Vietnam.”
First introduced at the Royal Colombo Golf Club, the island is home to four fine 18-hole golf courses, each of them located at different elevations against a backdrop of stunning landscapes. The association with golf dates back over a century. The Sri Lanka Amateur Golf Championship instituted in the year 1891 follows the British Amateur, as one of the oldest national championships yet.
The four picturesque golf courses are located in Colombo, Digana, Nuwara Eliya and Hambantota. Undoubtedly the favorite is the tranquil setting of the Victoria Golf and Country Resort, flanked by mountains and valleys and designed by the award-winning Donald Steele & Co.
