Describing the Victoria Golf Course Architect Donald Steel says "Some golf courses have a splendid undulating terrain over which the holes are routed. Some golf courses have a scenic back drop of hills and lakes which excite the senses. However the Victoria Golf Course near Kandy is blessed with both attributes."Victoria Golf Club was the first new course in Sri Lanka for more than 100 years. One of the most exhilarating and difficult holes at Victoria is the 7th hole, 473 yards in length and a par four. The drive from an elevated tee call for distance, accuracy and nerves of steel, if the player is to have a chance of reaching the green in two. Measuring 6,879 yards at its full Championship length, Victoria's par 73 layout has four par 5 holes of which three are over 500 yards long. There are four excellent par 3 holes ranging from the very short but tricky 5th of 124 yards to the testing 210 yards 13th hole, (a great par 3 by any standard).
