Highland Golf Around Kiambu

Golf in Kiambu

Kiambu County sits on the elevated northern edge of Nairobi, where golf is shaped by green highland terrain, established residential areas and easy links to the capital. The setting tends to feel cooler than Kenya’s hotter lowland destinations, while seasonal rain keeps the landscape lush and can leave softer ground. Golf facilities in and around the county include club-based options and courses reached through the wider Nairobi area, so access policies and tee-time arrangements should be checked before travelling. Kiambu works well for players who want to stay near Nairobi without relying on long internal transfers. Road conditions and traffic can affect journey times, especially around the city, so allow flexibility on match days and for early tee times. The main dry spells from January to February and June to September are generally the most convenient for firmer playing conditions, although showers remain possible. Bring lightweight rain gear, use sun protection, and confirm visitor access, caddie availability and dress requirements directly with each venue. Many clubs have traditional member-led operations, and advance enquiries are particularly useful for weekend play and holidays.
