Muthaiga
Muthaiga Golf Club, home to a well-rated tree-lined parkland layout, is located a few kilometres north of central Nairobi. Known as the "Home of Golf in Kenya" by its membership, Muthaiga has hosted the Kenyan Open on several occasions.
This predominantly tree-lined layout is pleasantly lined by mature woodland. Staying on the generally good-width fairways is key to scoring well, preferable to gouging out of the deep rough, or ball-finding in the thick undergrowth beyond. There's also several small lakes in play, not least at the par-3 2nd, 13th and 16th holes, all requiring tee-to-green carries over water.
The layout's two nine-hole loops are located on either side of the quite busy Kiambu Road.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

Kenya's No.1 golf course (Golf Digest, 2022).
Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
