Eagles’ Golf Links in Trincomalee is one of the most picturesque golf courses in Sri Lanka, second only to the spectacular Victory Golf and Country Resort near Kandy and rivalling the stunning scenery of Nuwara Eliya Golf Club in the island’s hill country.
This scenic course is a perfect example of why golf enthusiasts should choose to play golf in Sri Lanka: overlooking two golden bays and just 15 minutes from Marble Beach, Trincomalee’s most beautiful piece of coastline, this challenging course can be tackled whilst taking in the incredible views over the turquoise ocean and soaking up the tropical sun.
18 holes are spread across seven kilometres of undulating green fairways, lined with majestic trees which challenge the golfer to make as accurate a play as possible or else risk missing the green. Wend your way through this tranquil paradise, watching out for the various obstacles, whilst listening to the sound of rushing waves and birdcall.
After the round, head to the Eagles’ Golf Links Club House which is positioned on a hillock near to the first and final holes, providing guests with a breath-taking vista of Snug Cove and a prime spot from which to watch people teeing off or attempting the signature, eagle-shaped 18th hole. The spacious restaurant serves up both international and traditional Sri Lankan cuisine with an emphasis on fresh seafood dishes.
