To attract both foreigners and our golfers the 114-year-old golf Course of Nuwara Eliya has undergone development and improvement in the recent past with the assignment of an English qualified Turf Culturist Dr. Vivian de Thabrew together with the veteran planter and the Evergreen Secretary of the Golf Club Clive Tissera with his staff have turned this course into immaculate conditions and it is hoped the best of Golfing will be on display during the Sri Lanka Amateur Golf Championships jointly organised by the Sri Lanka Golf Union.

Meanwhile, Golfing in Nuwara Eliya takes its pace with foreign golfers from the European countries, with regular participants from Japan and other Asian countries, making special trips to Nuwara Eliya.
