Shangri-La’s Hambantota Resort & Spa launches annual golf membership program

Shangri-La’s Hambantota Resort & Spa launched its annual golf membership program on 9 June 2017, as part of the activities hosted for the resort’s first-year anniversary.  

Marking the launch of the progam during a golf tournament hosted at Shangri-La’s Hambantota Golf and Country Club, the resort hosted a lucky draw for a member of the audience to win the annual membership. 

The golf membership at Shangri-La’s Hambantota Golf and Country Club provides all the amenities guests can expect from a world-class golf club, with different categories of membership to suit golfers’ preferences, unlimited golf any time on weekdays and weekends, 30% off on accommodation, 20% off at the restaurants and a 20% discount on spa treatments for the member and spouse. Members’ families and friends can also benefit from 50% off on green fees. The individual membership starts at Rs. 85,000 per year. A family membership, priced at Rs. 100,000, is available so that guests of all ages can enjoy the golfing facilities and includes free usage of the pool and fitness facilities. Children can also enrol for an individual junior membership at Rs. 42,500 per year. 

Spread across a vast coconut palm plantation, the par-70 course golf course offers spectacular views and distinctive challenges for both beginners and seasoned players. Designed by globally celebrated designer Rodney Wright, the course offers lush fairways and challenging bunkers, with the Dune Area featuring subtle elevation changes and the Sapphire Mine showcasing generous greens with an abundance of water features. 

“It was our vision to create a truly unique experience where the golfing community can enjoy not just golf facilities but also a host of benefits at the resort, to blend sport and vacationing,” says Shangri-La’s Hambantota Resort and Spa General Manager Iain McCormack.
