A Century of Belonging, on Kenya's Oldest Championship Ground — Open to You

Royal Nairobi is the only club in Kenya to hold Royal status — one of just 64 Royal-chartered clubs in the world.

You'll play a championship course, dine like it's tradition, and belong to a community that's welcomed members since 1906.

A Century in the Making

Founded 1906. Royal Since 1936. Still Home Today.

In Jubilee year, King George V granted Royal Nairobi a status no other Kenyan club has held before or since. Join today, and that distinction becomes yours too.

Play the Course That Started It All

An 18-hole, par-72 championship course stretching over 7,200 yards from the back tees. Two distinct nines, a dam guarding the run to the 16th, and a finishing stretch — 16, 17, 18 — that has decided a century of club championships, and will test you exactly the same way.

In Members' Words

Why They Joined, and Why They Stayed

"I was proposed by a colleague I'd known for years — by the time I was balloted in, it already felt less like joining a club and more like being welcomed home."

"My children learned to swim at the pool and now they're learning golf on the same fairways I did as a boy. That continuity is worth more than any single amenity."

"We hosted our corporate golf day here and I've since had three client conversations start on that terrace. The setting does real work for the relationship."
