One of Kenya’s best kept secrets is its numerous golf courses. Few places in the world offer such perfect ingredients for a fantastic golf holiday as Kenya does. The opportunity to play your favourite game, to see wildlife (sometimes on the course!) and to relax on the beautiful white sandy beaches all during the same holiday is unique.
One of the most appealing features of golfing in Kenya is
the variety. From the coastal courses set among palms and
casuarinas with stunning views of the sapphire Indian Ocean,
to those dominated by the perennial snow-cap of Mount Kenya.
There is a medley of courses each vying for priority as the
most attractive for location and interest. One is even built
on the slopes of an extinct volcano!
Kenya has 38 golf courses of which 12 are 18- hole, 10 of
which are used for championship events. 6 are within a 20
mile radius of Nairobi- Kenya’s bustling capital. The weather
in Kenya is ideal for golf all year round. On occasions you
might need a sweater or a jersey, but you can play in a polo-shirt.
For the visiting golfer, Kenya has a broad appeal. There
is everything for the fanatic golfer, whilst the avid golfer
can fashion his safari to include some wildlife viewing as
well. A golfer who prefers to laze on the beach can still
fit in a game or two at a couple of fantastic coastal courses,
and for the business traveler, with an afternoon off, can
easily play his favourite game right on his doorstep.
Kenya has it all and golf is no exception. |
