Golf Park

Golf Club

Golf Park is located at the Ngong Racecourse and is also known as “racecourse”. It is a uniquely developed golf course in that the whole golf course is inside a horse race course boundaries. You’d be mistaken to think it’s a short and easy course, but you’ll be mistaken.

The course is marked with tight holes and multiple on course OBs. It has more of a links feel and therefore the wind is always a factor on this course. The good news is that it’s relatively flat.

Also popularly known as “the school of golf”, it is the only truly public course in Kenya making it accessible to the general public. A lot of golfers in Kenya will tell you this is where they learned to play golf hence the nickname “school of golf”. Their range and practice facilities are among the best in Kenya.
