Victoria Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play golf at Victoria Golf Club?

We always recommend visiting between December and March. During these months, you'll experience dry, sunny weather, which is perfect for enjoying the course's stunning views and firm fairways without the interruption of the monsoon rains. This period ensures the course is in its prime condition for play.

What makes Victoria Golf Club a unique golfing experience compared to other courses in Sri Lanka?

It's truly unique because of its dramatic setting overlooking the vast Victoria Reservoir and the majestic Kandyan hills. You'll find elevation changes and challenging holes that demand precision, especially the signature par-3 7th, where you're hitting over a ravine to a green perched precariously. The course design really integrates the natural landscape, making every shot feel special.

Can I stay directly at Victoria Golf Club, and what are the facilities like?

Yes, you absolutely can stay right on site, which we highly recommend for a truly immersive experience. They offer charming bungalows and villas, perfect for relaxing after your round, and you'll enjoy excellent service and delicious local cuisine. It's a peaceful retreat where you can wake up to the sounds of nature and stunning views.

What should I budget for a round at Victoria Golf Club, and is it good value for money?

Expect to pay around $100-$150 USD for a green fee, which typically includes a caddy and buggy. We consider it excellent value, especially given the course's immaculate condition, breathtaking scenery, and the overall quality of the experience. It's a championship course without the exorbitant price tag you might find elsewhere.

How difficult is it to get to Victoria Golf Club from Kandy or Colombo?

From Kandy, it's a relatively easy and scenic 45-minute to an hour's drive by car or tuk-tuk. If you're coming from Colombo, plan for a longer journey- about 3-4 hours by car- but the drive through the Sri Lankan countryside is quite beautiful. We suggest arranging transport directly with the club or a reputable local taxi service for convenience.
