Tony Whitham, the first General Manager of the Victoria Golf Resort, launched his book on Victoria Golf Resort recently,  after the conclusion of the Mark Bostock Memorial Trophy 2024 awards ceremony at the golf resort. 
In his newly launched book, he delves into its exciting history and legacy of Victoria Golf Resort. His narrative encompasses the development of the resort and the golf course, right until John Keells Holdings took over as the official property manager. John Keells Properties re-branded Victoria Golf and Country Resort to Victoria Golf Resort Sri Lanka (VGR) in 2022 and today it attracts professional golfers as well as holiday enthusiasts from across the globe. 

Nestled amidst the scenic hills of Kandy, Victoria Golf Resort in Digana is landscaped over 517 acres and encompasses an 18-hole championship golf course with the resort overlooking the Victoria reservoirand surrounded by breathtaking views of the Knuckles Range as it’s backdrop. It is the perfect destination to unwind and enjoy. 
The list is impressive and great credit goes to Mark Bostock for his vision in bringing Victoria into being, and to Donald Steel and Martin Ebert, the designers.”
“The Victoria Golf Resort is a unique place indeed, where the air is clean and fresh, and one can lead a serene lifestyle. John Keells Properties has some excellent real estate offerings here and I’m happy to see many people - even expats - realising the value of this development. No other location in Sri Lanka offers this quality of environment. The credentials of John Keells Holdings make this a stable investment,” Tony Whitham said.
