Golf: 1) Nyali Golf & Country Club (18 hole) is conveniently situated within the posh residential area of Nyali. It is close to the North Coast Hotels and lies 8 km from the centre of Mombasa Island along the Links Road, so named because of the situation of the Course. It is a real Championship layout with impeccable Greens and some testing short rough.
There are five par threes all having a degree of chance for the badly hit shot. Monsoon winds at different times of the year can be either a help or a hindrance making an easy par for an almost difficult par five for the high handicap golfer
2) The Baobab Golf Course (18 hole) at Vipingo Ridge is Kenyas’ newest golf course and has been built to international standards, with the world renowned USGA specification being used for all aspects of the course.
The location of the course, having spectacular views of the Indian Ocean to the east and the vast African interior with its stunning sunsets to the west, gives golfers a fantastic visual of one of the most impressive areas of natural beauty in Kenya.
The course was designed by David Jones, a board member of the European Tour and former Kenya Open Champion and was also officially opened by him during an inaugural ceremony in August 2009.
A meandering system of waterfalls, lakes and streams runs through the course giving a real risk-reward quality to many holes and also creating new natural habitats for birds and wildlife
