Victoria Golf Course was designed by renowned British Architect, Donald Steel and has been rated amongst the top 100 most scenic courses in the world. Victoria will be marketed internationally under the cohesive new marketing strategy that seeks to harness its unique advantages as a golf resort in Sri Lanka. The future developments envisaged include a swimming pool and an up market residential project to enhance the reputation of the resort. "We expect Victoria to offer a new impetus to the tourism industry in Sri Lanka as high spending golf and nature enthusiasts begin to fly into the country and endorse the resort as being among the very best in the world," Fernando said. Victoria Golf and Country Resort, a brainchild of its founder chairman, the late Mark Bostock of John Keells bought the property in 1992 with the course opening in January, 1999.
