Every gifted amateur is treated like a pro at the challenging par 73 Victoria Golf and Country Club designed by renowned Golf architect Donald Steel. Tread where eagles dare but look out for monkey, mongoose, deer, monitor-lizard, fishing cats who add new meaning to the balance of risk and reward! Golf Digest ranks it among the hundred most scenic courses in the world; caddies and ball boys have the charm of the devil plus keen eyesight and foresight to keep you from trouble as well as inspire you to new heights- or in this case, lows. Be wary of crows that snatch golf balls to provide an extra challenge!

A penchant for heights? Hop a helicopter ride to Nuwara Eliya on the edge of jungle where leopard and elephant roam. During championships,15 of the 18 holes may be followed by car; the other 3 are carved from a mountain known as ‘Little Switzerland’ with fir trees, trout streams and The Hill Club where jackets and ties are de rigueur.
