Muthaiga Golf Club

4-star: Above average course - well worth a visit.

Est. 1913

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.
