Golf Resort Kenya
With chances aplenty for reinforcing your golfing skills in the lush fairways and flawless greens under a sparkling blue sky, in a backdrop that alternates between fresh blue seas and sweeping
game-filled plains, Kenya is wooing golfers across the globe to its sprawling lawns. Ancient forests with lustrous bird life, and the antelope and monkeys sometimes making their appearance on the fairways offering pure, unfettered relaxation are some of the other pulling factors of Kenyan golf.
Kenya has an impressive range of facilities in spectacular locations to tempt lovers of the game. With golf courses in Nairobi, up- country and at the coast, Kenya has 40 golf courses of which 13 are 18-hole, 10 of which are used for championship events. 6 are within a 20 mile radius of Nairobi — Kenya\'s bustling capital.
For the visiting golfer, Kenya has a broad appeal. There is everything a fanatic golfer desires, whilst the avid golfer can fashion his safari to include wildlife viewing as well. A golfer who prefers to laze on the beach can still fit in a game or two and the business traveller, with an afternoon off, can easily play his favourite game right on his doorstep.
One of the most appealing features of golfing in Kenya is the variety. From the beach clubs set among palms with stunning views of the sapphire Indian Ocean. To those dominated by the eternal snow cap of Mount Kenya. There is a medley of courses each vying for priority as the most attractive for location and interest. Kenya is proud to have been awarded the prestigious IAGTO Award for the Best Undiscovered Golf Destination in the world for the year 2009 and looks forward to hosting many more golfers.
Typical rounds of golf in Kenya may, in fact, seem quite atypical. But then again, sometimes the more exotic the destination, the more rewarding the golf experience. Kenya Airways, the national carrier of Kenya, operates 3 flights a week from Muscat to Nairobi and offers excellent Safari Packages clubbed with Golfing to Kenya.
