Nandi Bears Club: Home Of The Kerit

Whilst the Nandi Bears Club dates back to 1928, teeing-off at this sans-pareil 9-hole 70-par golf course did not get underway until 1935, then a preserve for the rich tea farmers. Adulated as one of the grueling golf courses in Western Kenya, Nandi Bears Club has bloomed in popularity as one of the prestigious courses in Kenya, hosting major tournaments including Gill Trophy and Kenya Breweries’ Festival of Golf. Its particular name was originated from the old-wives tales of folkloric bears associated with the thick forests at hand. The Nandi bear, locally known as “kerit”, was a mysterious beast, believed to have lived near where the Nandi Bears Club sits, eons ago, before facing extinction; the legend goes. Nandi Bear Club is located next to Koitalel Arap Samoei Museum in Nandi Hills Town.

Whether your thing is a few power swings, a round of golf while on vacation, improving your skills or thirsting for new challenges – or somewhere in between – golfing in Kenya will treat you to fine memorable experiences few have enjoyed.
