Golf is one of the oldest sports to have been played in Sri Lanka having its roots during the Dutch rule of the 17th Century. It is well established that the Dutch word “Kolf” refers to a stick which was shaped to hit Kolf balls in a game which was later to become the National Sport of Scotland as Golf. However, it was the British who formalized the sport in Sri Lanka during their rule in the 1870’s. Golf has been formally played in Sri Lanka for over 130 years, and the island is home to the second oldest National Amateur Championship in the world. The Royal Colombo Golf Club is the second oldest Royal Golf Club in the world outside Britain, having being established in 1879. The Nuwara Eliya Golf Club established in 1889 is situated in the hill country and has the oldest golf course in Sri Lanka. With four 18-hole world-class golf courses, including two in the hill country, an old-established one in Colombo, and a new addition in Hambantota, Sri Lanka presents a challenge for the ardent golfer.
