Sri Lanka best golf course - Nuwara Eliya or Colombo?
3 Answers from travellers
Nuwara Eliya Golf Club (1890, oldest in Sri Lanka) - 18-hole, cool climate, colonial history, walk-through-tea-estates vibe. Green fees USD 60-100. Also: Royal Colombo Golf Club (city location, 18-hole, historic, sea views on some holes), Victoria Golf Club (near Kandy, 18-hole, hillside, most scenic modern course, USD 100-150 green fees). Serious golfers rank Victoria highest for course quality; Nuwara Eliya for character; Royal Colombo for convenience. Book tee times ahead, dress code enforced (collared shirt, no jeans).

Victoria (Kandy area) is really the standout - 18-hole championship course with dramatic mountain and reservoir views. Nick Faldo designed. Rent clubs if you're not carrying yours (USD 20-40/round).
