The 2025 series teed off in January at the VetLab sports club before making stops at the Nandi Bears Club, Malindi golf club, and recently the Kiambu golf glub last weekend.


NCBA Managing Director John Gachora expressed enthusiasm about the series’ momentum so far, expressing his anticipation for the upcoming event.


“We are delighted to return to Kenya Railway Golf Club, where we launched this year’s NCBA Golf Series back in January. The level of competition we have seen so far after just four legs in the series has been remarkable, and we are eager to witness another fantastic tournament this weekend. Golf continues to be an important platform for us to engage with our customers and the wider community, and we remain committed to growing the sport across the region,” he said.


NCBA’s commitment to golf development across Kenya and the East African region remains strong, with the 2025 edition of the series featuring a total of 41 qualifier events providing not only a competitive platform for amateur golfers but also fostering community engagement and business networking opportunities.
Elsewhere, two junior golf events are set to take place this weekend at the Windsor Golf Hotel & Country Club in Nairobi, Kenya.


The NCBA Interschool golf tournament 1 on Friday March 21st, and the NCBA U.S. Kids Golf Spring Local Tour where over 200 budding golfers are expected to take part in the events.


The non-handicap Inter-school tournament will be open to juniors between five and 18 years and will be played in stroke play format.
Ten years and under will play across nine holes while the 11-14 years and 15-18 years will be played across 18 holes.
On Sunday, the fourth tournament in the NCBA U.S. Kids Golf Spring Local Tour will take center-stage at the same club.


The series teed off at the VetLab Sports Club in February before moving to Limuru country club, and then the Karen country club.
The tournaments, which are organized by the Junior Golf Foundation (JGF) and supported by NCBA, aim to provide a platform for young golfers to showcase their skills and compete against their peers.
JGF Chairman Vincent Mukiri said, “Such tournaments are essential in developing the talents of our young golfers. They provide them with a platform to showcase their skills and compete with their peers, which is crucial in their growth as golfers. We, therefore, look forward to these tournaments hoping to see some great golfing displays by our juniors.”
