The NCBA Golf Series heads to Mt Kipipiri Golf Club this weekend for the fifth leg of the 2026 campaign.
This marks the first time the tournament will be staged at the newly established course.
Opened in February last year, Mt Kipipiri Golf Club will host at least 80 players competing in the club’s monthly mug, with top honours and valuable qualification slots to the season-ending Grand Finale at Karen Country Club up for grabs.
Qualification will be earned by the Overall Gross Winner, Men’s Gross Winner, Lady Gross Winner, Division 2 Men Winner, Division 2 Lady Winner, Division 3 Winner, and the leading Junior.
The inclusion of Mt Kipipiri’s Mug as a mini-qualifier underscores NCBA’s commitment to expanding the sport’s reach across Kenya.
Speaking ahead of the event, NCBA Group Managing Director John Gachora said: “This is a special moment for us as a series. Taking the NCBA Golf Series to Mt Kipipiri Golf Club for the very first time reflects our deliberate effort to support emerging golf destinations and give players fresh competitive experiences. We are proud to be part of the club’s journey so early in its history.”
The Mt Kipipiri leg follows a competitive coastal outing at Mombasa Golf Club, where Edwin Kiptoo clinched the Division A title with an impressive 72 nett.
Division B honours went to Martin Irungu on countback, while Rana Umair stood out in Division C. Gurbux Singh claimed the Best Gross award with an 83 gross score.
This latest stop builds on successful tournaments at Royal Nairobi, Kericho, Muthaiga, and Mombasa Golf Clubs, as the series continues to grow its footprint across the country.
