Long considered one of the world's greatest undiscovered golfing destinations, Kenya has 39 courses, 12 of which are used for championship events including the Kenya Open, which takes place each year at the Muthaiga Golf Club in Nairobi

Ideal year-round weather and locations as varied as equatorial highlands, beautiful lakeshores, lush forests and tropical beaches allow golfers to visit a diverse range of courses combined with world-class standards and service.

Each round of golf is a nature walk in itself as courses have been designed to blend with the surrounding natural landscape.

Another plus for golfers is the elevation. With several courses at more than 1,500 metres high, golfers are able to add an additional 10 percent yardage to strokes - fantastic news for individuals looking to lower their handicap.

Although golf carts are rarely available, golfers have the luxury of their own personal caddies, who are often excellent golfers themselves. It also means that as well as having your own mentor hand to offer great tips for swing improvement and advice on local rules, you will potentially have a partner in crime to help hunt down those rogue balls in the rough.

One of the most appealing features of golfing in Kenya is the variety. From beach courses set among palm trees with stunning views of the Indian Ocean, to those dominated by the permanently snow-capped peak of Mount Kenya, there are a vast array of courses sure to suit every taste.

Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, is a thriving modern city located in the midst of green rolling hills, verdant forest and wide savannah plains. With seven 18 hole golf courses located within a 20-mile radius of the city, including the historic Royal Nairobi Golf Club built in 1906, the Windsor Golf and Country Club, Karen Golf and Country Club and Muthaiga Golf Club, businessmen and holidaymakers can enjoy.
