Golf Course

The Great Rift Valley Golf Course is a renowned 18-hole championship course that spans 7,000 feet. Located on the Mau Escarpment, it provides views of Lake Naivasha, Mount Longonot, and the Aberdare Mountains. With a par 5 signature hole at 598 meters, golfers experience both challenge and beauty throughout their game.

The golf course is integrated with the natural landscape, allowing golfers to witness wildlife during play. Animals such as zebras and flocks of Black-headed Orioles inhabit the greens and fairways, creating a unique golfing atmosphere.
