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: you have the opportunity to play your favorite game, to see wildlife (sometimes on the course!) and to relax on the beautiful white sandy beaches.

Soon after their arrival in the early 1900's British colonists began developing golf courses all over the country. They realized that Kenya had the year round climate and the beautiful settings to construct some of the world's most desirable courses.

Kenya has 37 golf courses of which 10 are 18-hole, 9 of which are used for championship events. 6 are within a 20-mile radius of Nairobi - Kenya's bustling capitol.
The oldest course is Royal Nairobi Golf Club (7021 yards - par 72 - 18 holes) founded in 1906, one of the latest is the Windsor Golf and Country Club (6751 yards - par 72 - 18 holes).
There are several new courses under construction and a number are being upgraded from 9 holes to 18 holes.

The weather in Kenya is ideal for golf all year round and you will normally play in a polo shirt.
