Nuwara Eliya - Sri Lanka
The Nuwara Eliya Golf Club is perhaps the most unique golf course in all of Asia. Situated at nearly 2,000m above sea level and the focal point of the town, this 18-hole golf course is routed on less than 100 acres. Be sure to take a course map at the start because holes don’t follow any formula rather bobble about the landscape like a roller coaster. Crossing holes are the norm, blind shots are frequent and features such as roads and fences needed to be surmounted on route to the hole. Pedestrians use the golf course to get from A to B, and during my visit, some of the fairways were being used as a place of gathering. An unforgettable journey of discovery.
