For nearly a century, Nakuru Golf Club has been more than the sum of its fairways and birdies; it has been a beacon of familial ties. As we gear up for the momentous centenary celebrations, let us embark on a reflective journey through worthwhile involvements of the Club that transcends the manicured greens.

NGC’s Commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Since 2014, Nakuru Golf Club has marked the first weekend of November as a dedicated time to rally support for Nakuru Hospice. Here, golfers converge in spirited tournaments, showcasing not only their prowess in the sport, but also their heartfelt contribution to this vital cause. The benevolence is further fortified by the generous sponsorship of Wakili Mukite Musangi, underscoring the Club’s unwavering dedication to palliative care. The Club continues to rely on philanthropy from members and friends of NGC to continue making this possible.

Additionally, has embarked on providing support for cancer patients through resource mobilization made possible by its members. NGC extends gratitude for such steadfast support of this crucial initiative, whose resolute commitment has undeniably left a mark on the lives of those battling cancer.

In the face of Covid-19 pandemic, Mr. Stephen Kihumba orchestrated a collective effort among NGC members and corporate allies, extending vital sustenance to caddies and their families. Regular monthly distributions provided crucial support during the trying times of course closures. Following the reopening, a culture of prioritizing safety prompted caddies to take well-deserved leaves, echoing the club’s commitment to their well-being. Notably, some members took it upon themselves to sponsor the education of some of the caddies’ children, exemplifying an extraordinary manifestation of community and empathy that defines NGC’s remarkable unity.

Capacity Building for Caddies

The fairways at NGC serve more than a picturesque backdrop; they are a canvas for personal development. Nakuru Golf Club invests strongly in the potential of its caddies, offering tailored programs to nurture their personal growth. For them, it surpasses a mere occupation; it is a testament to their indispensable role within the Club.

Some of the caddies have been promoted to being full members at the Club, like one Mr. John Kamais and Wangari who received honorary membership. Kamais was hand-picked during a caddies’ tournament for being a top golfer and his achievements drew some of the Club members to collectively contribute towards his sponsorship as full member and now he competes for major Club tournaments.

Subsequently, membership benefits have been extended to caddie’s next of kin as is testament with David Kiru, who was accorded membership through this noble initiative courtesy of his parents who have been long-term serving employees at Nakuru Golf Club. Kiru joined under the Junior Golf Foundation and will be transitioning to adult membership at no costs in 2024. His aspiration and target is to play and win at the KGU junior tournament as gratitude towards NGC for making his passion in golf a reality.

Furthermore, the heartfelt gesture of bestowing membership privileges to the next generation ensures a lasting legacy. These young individuals grow amidst the gentle rustle of palm leaves and the rhythmic resonance of golf balls, becoming integral chapters in NGC’s enduring family narrative.

Hosting Club Members’ Nights

As dusk twilights the Thursday skies in Nakuru, NGC Club House comes alive with a vibrant energy, as members converge for a social night of networking and camaraderie. It encompasses a business affair; offering a space where aspirations take flight and connections are forged. On such nights, the air is charged with excitement as NGC unveils its community development projects, creating a bridge between dreams and reality with Club updates and projections.

On these nights, members get an opportunity to play golf during the day and enjoy some recreational time thereafter. Not only that, but Golfers also get awarded for games played during the day presenting an opportunity for members to bag goodies and show off their golfing prowess.

Members of NGC also designate one Thursday every month to celebrate birthdays which is an opportunity for more celebration with cake sponsored by the birthday babies.

The benefits of being an NGC member are evident especially on such Club nights as amidst the hum of conversation and laughter, you might just catch a snippet of an idea that could change the world. Because here at NGC, magic happens on Thursdays.

Themed Annual Festivities & Family Fun Days

Throughout the year, NGC transforms into a canvas of celebration. From the playful games of Valentines Specials to the heartfelt tributes of Fathers’ and Mothers’ Day, every occasion is a brushstroke on the portrait of life. The International Day of Golfers unfurls a global tapestry, weaving together enthusiasts from diverse corners of the world. Each celebration is a testament to the diverse tapestry of NGC’s membership, where every individual adds their unique hue to the vibrant mosaic.

NGC holds steadfast in the belief of the power of family bonds. Over and above weekend tournaments and amiable golf events, members and their families converge for moments of shared joy. These events are thoughtfully designed to cater to both adults and children, ensuring that everyone, regardless of age, can partake and create cherished memories on the golf course.

The echoes of children’s laughter reverberate across the greens, creating a symphony of family unity that defines our DNA as Nakuru Golf Club.

NGC Wellness Expeditions

Nakuru Golf Club indeed offers a plethora of triumph. Nestled in the serene embrace of the awe-inspiring Menengai Crater, NGC provides a sanctuary for those yearning to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The vistas from the Golf Club bestow mere beauty; possessing a natural ability to soothe the soul. During tranquil afternoons, NGC’s members embark on captivating explorations, traversing rugged landscapes and discovering solace within nature’s gentle embrace.

In the same spirit of adventure, members of NGC from Law Society of Kenya (LSK) have embarked on memorable hikes up the Menengai Crater, where they assembled at the Club, jogged up the crater and thereafter enjoyed some barbeque. These moments not only offer physical fitness but a holistic wellness, providing a precious opportunity for self-renewal and forging of connections with peers who share in the spirit of adventure. It is an oasis of serenity amidst the bustling City.

As we stand on the threshold of Nakuru Golf Club’s 100th-year anniversary, we invite all stakeholders to these 4-days of our grand celebrations coupled with centennial tournaments and a themed gala dinner with the pinnacle of the CENTENARY enthralling both the young and old.
