The course offers a unique and exhilarating golfing experience, characterized by dramatic elevation changes, lush fairways, and panoramic views of Lake Naivasha and the surrounding escarpments. Golfers can expect a challenging yet rewarding round, with strategically placed hazards and undulating greens that demand precision and strategy.
