The evergreen Par 72 Railways golf club is set to welcome over 200 golfers for the 18th, leg of this year’s KCB East Africa Golf Tour on Saturday.
Fresh off a spectacular event last weekend in Sigona, the regional tourney is expected to tee off at 6:30 am for the morning action before the afternoon tee time that has been slated for noon.
Railways Golf Club Captain, John Kamenyi said, “We expect a huge turnout on Saturday. This series has become instrumental in allowing thousands of golf enthusiasts to hone their skills and enjoy themselves on the green. We have worked hard to maintain the course; therefore, golfers can expect a good show.”
So far, the 2025 KCB East Africa Golf Tour has reached over 2,000 players across the East African region and over 1,000 juniors through the golf clinics that ran concurrently with the tournament.
In Kenya, the competition has been to 10 counties including Nairobi, Nakuru, Kisumu, Laikipia, Nandi, Mombasa, Kisii, Kiambu, Machakos, and Kericho.
Regionally, tournaments have been held in Uganda and Burundi, Tanzania and Rwanda are expected to host their events before the grand finale.
KCB Group Director Marketing and Communications Rosalind Gichuru said, “In the last two decades, we have spent over KShs. 800 million in different golf competitions that drive socio-economic transformation, foster inclusivity, and promote regional unity, reinforcing our belief in the power of sports to bring people together and create a lasting impact. Once again, we are at the Railways Golf Club to enable golfers to enjoy the sport and strengthen their skills.”
