The Royal Colombo Golf Club, which celebrated its centenary
in 1979, is one of the oldest golf clubs in the world
and only the third club to receive the Royal Charter
from the British Crown in 1928. It was founded, as the
The Colombo Golf Club, in 1879. Royalty, heads of state,
Prime ministers and and golfing legends have played
here over the years. Visitors are welcome but booking
is advisable. The dress code here is stricter than at
other golf courses, requiring collars, decent shorts,
or trousers with zips for men. For ladies there is a
one-word dress code: decency. The Club House offers
improved facilities to members and visitors in both
the bars, dining room, lounge and coffee shop. The dressing
room facilities are of good standard. The website provides
a tour of the whole course, with maps and a description
of each hole. A practice range is open from 0600 to
2100 pm except on Mondays.
