Play nine holes beside Lake Victoria at Nyanza Club

Sobre esta Tip
Nyanza Club in Milimani has a nine-hole golf course laid out beside the lake, close to the airport, with the course dating from 1936. Call the club ahead to ask how visitors can play and what to bring, because access is run by the club. After heavy rain the lake can creep onto the lower fairways, so expect a softer, tighter round in the wet months. The club also has a pool and tennis court if golf is not your thing.
