Cinnamon Citadel Kandy Hotel Video

Golf Tours Abroad is proud to present a video of the 4-Star Cinnamon Citadel Kandy Hotel in Sri Lanka.

The Cinnamon Citadel Kandy Hotel is nestled high up in the hillside country, beside a quiet bend in the Mahaweli River. The iconic four-star hotel caters to those looking for quiet relaxation not far from Kandy, Sri Lanka’s bustling hill capital and the last domain of the Sinhala kings.

Three and a half hours away from Colombo Airport and just 15 minutes away from the Kandy town, the hotel is located in the very heart of serenity. It’s a constantly recurring theme that embraces you at the reception, waits with you in the lobby, walks you through the hallways and stays with you in your room until you check out. And while all tranquillity is clearly reflected in the contemporarily stylish interiors of the hotel, there are plenty of subtle reminders in the form of vibrant tones of red and traditional Kandyan art, reminding you that you’re still very much in the majestic realm of the ancient kings.

For further information, visit our Cinnamon Citadel Kandy Hotel blog page.

Australia’s Greg Norman has developed a reputation for designing challenging golf courses wrought in the traditional stylings of the native Australian Sand Belt region.

Leadbetter Course Mission Hills Shenzhen

  • leadbetter-course-mission-hills-china
  • leadbetter-course-map-card

The Leadbetter Course at Mission Hills Shenzhen China calls on every club in your bag. Visit Mission Hills Shenzhen when you travel with Golf Tours Abroad.

Location: Shenzhen, China
Designer: David Leadbetter
Distance: 7155 yards
Course Par: 72

Opened: 1993
Longest Hole: 605 yards
Shortest Hole: 130 yards
# of Bunkers: 111
Caddies: Yes – compulsory
Carts: Yes – compulsory

David Leadbetter’s commitment to instruction is on full display in his first foray into golf course design. The world-renowned instructor devised a layout meant to challenge and teach players without intimidating. Generous fairways, short par 4s and drives from elevated tees are prevalent throughout. Yet it also features large, sand-flashed bunkers and fairways that while wide, rarely yield a perfectly level lie. It requires the player to use every club in the bag at some point in the round, just as any top-notch instructor would demand.

Rose Poulter Course Mission Hills Shenzhen

  • rose-poulter-course-mission-hills-china
  • rose-poulter-course-map-card

The Rose Poulter Course at Mission Hills Shenzhen China is a must-play risk & reward design. Visit Mission Hills Shenzhen when you travel with Golf Tours Abroad.

Location: Shenzhen, China
Designer: Justin Rose & Ian Poulter
Distance: 6918 yards
Course Par: 72

Opened: 2014
Longest Hole: 583 yards
Shortest Hole: 150 yards
# of Bunkers: 139
Caddies: Yes – compulsory
Carts: Yes – compulsory

The Rose Poulter course is set within a stunning valley of age old trees and jungle vegetation. This course was formerly known as the Duval Course. The new co-design by Justin Rose & Ian Poulter has brought an exciting risk/reward opportunity on many holes and is a great venue for a match play format where players are asked to take chances along the way with less regard to overall medal scoring. The course evokes a much more natural feel with a significant amount of the bunker complexes transitioning into native vegetation, creating a much more flowing and integrated relationship with the outside vegetation and towering mountains.

Pete Dye Course Mission Hills Shenzhen

  • pete-dye-course-mission-hills-china
  • pete-dye-course-map-card

The Pete Dye Course at Mission Hills Shenzhen is the very first Dye designed course in China. Visit Mission Hills Shenzhen when you travel with Golf Tours Abroad.

Location: Shenzhen, China
Designer: Pete Dye
Distance: 6828 yards
Course Par: 72

Opened: 2016
Longest Hole: 611 yards
Shortest Hole: 106 yards
# of Bunkers: 178
Caddies: Yes – compulsory
Carts: Yes – compulsory

The Pete Dye Course is located at the Shenzhen section of Mission Hills and is the very first Dye design in China. It offers a marked departure from Mission Hills’ other 11 layouts, presenting the golfer with a unique look and feel. At just over 6,800 yards and playing to par 72, it is short by today’s standards yet requires creative and careful shot-making. Golfers encounter many elements long-associated with Dye Courses: small pot bunkers, long tee to green waste areas, railroad ties used as sleepers and walkway steps framed by tall, native grasses to provide a sharp, visual contrast. The greens are wildly undulating, especially on the numerous short par 4s.

Thailand Entry Update

Thailand Entry Update

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) have clarified Covid-19 related “Entry Conditions” that continue to welcome all international tourists under the fully-reopen-to-tourism policy that was introduced on 1 October, 2022.

Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Health, H.E. Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, said “International travellers arriving in Thailand are not required to show proof of vaccination.” In addition, foreign tourists are not required to show ATK or RT-PCR test results. However, while Thailand is welcoming all visitors, a visitor source market may require incoming visitors including their own nationals returning home to have a negative PCR result. Thus, Thailand is aiming to correspond with rules of these countries – among them are China and India. Therefore, passengers from a country that has requirements for RT-PCR test must have health insurance covering treatment of COVID-19 in Thailand.

As part of the full reopening to tourism, Thailand is also offering a longer period of stay for visitors. Effective through to 31 March, 2023, the period of stay is extended to 45 days (from 30 days) for tourists from countries/territories entitled for visa exemption, and to 30 days (from 15 days) for those eligible for a Visa on Arrival (VOA).
