Our Story
Built in 1927.
Still the estate Nairobi comes home to.
A single clubhouse on the edge of the forest has grown into nine businesses under one roof — but the grounds, the light through the trees, and the welcome at the door haven't changed in almost a century.
Heritage
A Victorian Estate, Reimagined for Championship Golf
Windsor sits on a working estate of Victorian-style buildings, indigenous forest, and an 18-hole championship course shaped by Nairobi's unique altitude. It is not a hotel with a golf course attached — it is a single destination where heritage architecture, competitive sport, and five-star hospitality share one address. Every business on the estate, from the clubhouse bar to the training camps on the back nine, traces back to the same founding idea: a place worth returning to, generation after generation.
