Superb golf courses in combination with an incredible array of wildlife and idyllic beaches make Kenya an excellent golf holiday travel destination.

Golfers especially find Kenya attractive because of the country  offers them a unique opportunity to play their favourite game, view wildlife and to laze on the sandy beaches all during the same holiday.

Kenya boasts 40 golf courses 12 of them being 18-hole. Interestingly 6 of Kenya's best golf courses are within a 20 mile radius of Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya. These include Muthiaga Golf Club, Karen Golf and Country Club and Windsor Golf Club.The oldest 18 hole course is Royal Nairobi Golf Club founded in 1906.

Other fascinating golf holiday destinations include Mount Kenya Safari Club, Sigona and Leisure Golf Club - the only golf course on Kenya's south coast on Diani Beach.

Most of Kenya's golf clubs are private membership clubs and are generally very quiet and especially so during weekdays. A majority of Kenyan golf courses are at an altitude of more that 1500m (5000ft) thus giving golfers additional yardage to their stroke.

It's worth noting that you are required to play with a caddie. He or she will not only carry your golfbag but will also find your balls in the bush, if need be. The caddie may also help you with the club selection or will show you the putting line.

Regardless of the course you choose to play, golfing adventures in Kenya will always recur in your mind every time you try to recount your Kenya safari adventures.
