In 2009 The No 01 Flying Training Wing shifted to the SLAF Academy in Chinabay where it is located to date. This Base also houses the Eagles' Heritage Golf Course which is the only golf course in the Ancient Kingdom of Anuradhapura.

An enchanting view of the great Nuwara Wewa at the end of the runway enhances the experience, creating a challenging environment for an unforgettable game of golf.
