Leisure Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to play Leisure Golf Club to avoid the heat and rain?

We always recommend visiting Leisure Golf Club during Kenya's dry season, typically from July to October or January to March. You'll find the weather much more agreeable for a full 18 holes, with less humidity and a refreshing coastal breeze. Avoid the long rains in April-May if you can, as play can be quite soggy.

What unique challenges does Leisure Golf Club present that I won't find at other Kenyan courses?

Leisure Golf Club truly stands out with its coastal winds, which can turn a seemingly easy par-4 into a real test of shot-making, especially on the back nine. The course also features some tricky water hazards that are more prominent here than at many inland courses, demanding precise iron play. You'll need to account for the ocean breeze on nearly every shot.

Can I expect to see any wildlife while playing a round at Leisure Golf Club?

Absolutely, and it's one of the course's real charms! While you won't encounter big game, you'll frequently spot vervet monkeys trying to snag an unattended snack, and a vibrant array of birdlife. Keep an eye out for monitor lizards sunning themselves near the water features - it adds a unique Kenyan touch to your round.

What's the typical cost for a round at Leisure Golf Club, and what should I budget for extras?

Green fees at Leisure Golf Club are quite reasonable for a course of this caliber, usually ranging from $60-$90 USD for visitors. We strongly recommend budgeting for a caddy, which is customary and incredibly helpful for navigating the course's nuances, costing around $10-$15 plus a tip. Buggies are available but often optional, so factor that in if you prefer to ride.

How well-maintained are the greens and fairways at Leisure Golf Club, especially considering the tropical climate?

You'll be pleasantly surprised by the condition of Leisure Golf Club, especially given the tropical environment. The fairways are generally lush and well-kept, offering good lies, though they can be a bit firm in the driest months. The greens are consistently true and roll nicely, but they can be deceptively fast, so pay attention to the grain.
