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.
