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.

Muthaiga Golf Club (said "Mu-thay-ga") has regularly hosted the Kenya Open, an event which has frequently been included on the European Tour schedule or the Africa leg of the European Challenge Tour.
Kenya's No.1 golf course (Golf Digest, 2022).
The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf. Just over the fence and sharing similar terrain is Royal St George’s; but Prince’s is far from overshadowed by its venerable neighbour. The three nine-hole loops at Prince's, laid out over gently undulating terrain, are sure to bring a smile of satisfaction to all lovers of links golf.
Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
