Scenic and challenging, Eagles’ Golf Links is located on the east coast of Sri Lanka, where the weather usually turns wonderful with sunny skies, blue ocean waters and fair winds for a perfect round of golf from June till October. During the other months weather can be fair to moderate with unpredictable showers while November and December are the east coast monsoon high seasons. The Eagles Golf Course is located in China Bay, a short drive from the center of Trincomalee town. The par 72, 6802 yards, 18-hole course picturesquely located by the Indian Ocean takes you through nearly seven kilometers of challenging yet enjoyable rounds of golf, routed through picturesque Bermuda grass fairways and Tifdwarf greens, replete with magnificent trees. Views of sparkling waters, bays and coves enhance the experience, creating a stunning environment for an unforgettable game of golf.
The 171-acre course extends inland from the periphery of the bay, and embraces undulating lush greens and forested areas, with intermittent lagoons adding to the changing landscape. The Club House, located close to the first tee-off, faces the bay and is surrounded by rolling lawns. Eagles’ Golf Links’ fairways extend down from par 3 to par 5, with plenty of challenges such as water hazards, sand bunkers, roughs and doglegs, left and right. The view from any point of the grounds is breathtaking, with walks along the fairway winding over undulating turf, arched bridges and through colorful bowers of greenery.
The Eagles’ Golf Links is undoubtedly an excellent addition to Sri Lanka’s golf offerings, and offers a unique experience in the country’s picturesque East coast.
The Eagles’ Golf Links Club House stands on a hillock overlooking the eighteenth hole, providing friendly and efficient facilities for visitors as well as breathtaking views of Snug Cove. The reception area is spacious and the bar and lobby area are beautifully furnished and comfortable. You can take in the first green from the entrance. The sharp visitor will enjoy watching players teeing off for the First Hole, just 350 yards away, and the jubilant putting at the course’s signature hole, the eagle-shaped eighteenth, about 75 yards down the slope at the water’s edge.
