The Nuwara Eliya Golf Club, established in 1889, is one of the oldest golf clubs in Asia and a prestigious destination for golf enthusiasts. Nestled in the heart of Nuwara Eliya, known as 'Little England' due to its colonial charm and temperate climate, the golf club offers players a unique experience amidst the rolling hills and cool climate of the region. The ideal time to visit is during the peak season, which spans from February to April. During these months, Nuwara Eliya experiences its driest and sunniest days, making it perfect for golfing. The temperatures range comfortably between 14°C to 21°C (57°F to 70°F), providing an escape from the tropical heat elsewhere on the island.
Additionally, April is particularly special due to the festive season, where the town celebrates with events like the Nuwara Eliya Season, including horse racing and flower shows, adding to the region's vibrant atmosphere. However, if you prefer a tranquil golfing experience with fewer crowds, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons in October and November or from December to early February. Although you might experience occasional showers, they often pass quickly, and the course is less crowded, offering a peaceful golfing experience. Moreover, the off-peak season can also provide more competitive rates for both accommodation and golfing fees.
