Nice old course in great shape wasn't expecting much as the reviews all seemed a bit negative but much better than other city centre courses , not overly noisy , yes the railway line running through is a bit quirky but it only ran once in the 4 hours we were playing, most holes felt longer due to lack of run on fairways, the greens were the best we played in Sri Lanka , however most holes relatively straight forward, they are in the process of changing 2-3 holes on back 9 to eradicate the crazy 1st and 18th cross over where you basically play towards each other.

Played this course in February, the course itself is ok, pretty unique with train tracks through middle of course.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
