It has a fine reputation for having some of the most beautiful fairways in Kenya. Sitting near the Rift Valley at an altitude of 6,600 feet (2200m), Sigona receives more than average rainfall. The Kikuyu grass keeps the course looking lush and verdant year-round. The green keeper tells: “any player can use almost any golf club, from his driver to his sand wedge, off these fairways”. The course is very hilly and most of the eighteen tees are elevated. It is one course that will test your golf skills along with your physical conditioning.

Nyeri Sports Club
Nyeri Sports Club is the second oldest course in the country, founded in 1910. This 9-hole course is laid out in a superb setting and offers exquisite scenery. While standing on the tee of the 6th, Mt Kenya can be seen looming above the green giving a breathtaking view of nature in all its glory. The greens are well bunkered with both sand and grass traps. The roughs are the highest you will find anywhere as the layout skirts around a thick forest of very tall evergreens. Add to this mixture a stream and a valley, and you have the recipe for a difficult game of golf. Nyeri’s golf course is very pretty indeed and highly recommended for play for the ardent and the family golfer.

Mount Kenya is an experience that the visitor must include in his or her itinerary. Nowhere in the world do you come face to face with one of nature’s greatest anomalies – a snowcapped mountain lying on the equator! This exclusive rich man’s retreat opened in 1959. Even though this is a 9-hole pitch and putt, composed entirely of par 3 holes, it is absolutely brutal. While the course is laid out in one of the most beautiful and serene settings in Africa, you have to be very accurate. The water hazards are many and coupled with the splendid views of Mount Kenya from virtually every hole on the course with the variety of flowers and birds decorating it, the golfer is sure to leave Mt. Kenya with lasting memories. Play on the North and Southern hemispheres at the same time.
