The Magical Kenya Open is the country’s flagship international sporting event, part of the prestigious DP World Tour (formerly European Tour). Held at the beautiful Karen Country Club on the outskirts of Nairobi, the tournament attracts top professional golfers from around the world who compete on a championship course set against the stunning backdrop of the Ngong Hills.
For golf enthusiasts, this is a rare opportunity to watch world-class golf in a uniquely Kenyan setting. The Karen Country Club course, originally established in 1906, features lush fairways at 1,700 metres altitude, where the ball travels further in the thin air and the equatorial light creates dramatic conditions from dawn to dusk.
Beyond the golf, the tournament week features a pro-am competition, junior golf clinics, a hospitality village with food and drink, and evening entertainment. It’s a celebration of Kenya’s growing stature in international sport and a showcase for Kenyan tourism to a global television audience.
