Kenya Railways Golf Club will host the fifth leg of the 2025 NCBA Golf Series this Saturday.
Over 200 golfers are expected to compete at the 104-year-old, nine-hole par-72 course within the Nairobi’s central business district.
The tournament will be played in a Stableford format, with participants vying for coveted slots in the Grand Finale set for November.
Qualifiers will include the Men’s and Women’s winners in Division One and Two, the overall Division Three winner, and the top junior golfer.
NCBA Managing Director John Gachora expressed enthusiasm about the tournament, noting the strong competition witnessed so far.
“We are delighted to return to Kenya Railways Golf Club, where we launched this year’s NCBA Golf Series in January. The level of competition after just four legs has been remarkable, and we look forward to another fantastic tournament this weekend,” said Gachora.
He reaffirmed NCBA’s commitment to supporting golf across the region.
“We remain dedicated to growing the sport and engaging with our customers and the wider community,” he added.
The 2025 NCBA Golf Series teed off at VetLab Sports Club in January and has since made stops at Nandi Bears Club, Malindi Golf Club, and Kiambu Golf Club.
This year’s series features 41 qualifier events, providing amateur golfers with a competitive platform while fostering community engagement and business networking.
