Vipingo Ridge green fees: the 2026 rate card
The resort publishes six player categories. The table below lists the shilling figures from the 2026 card, with the dollar figure in brackets. The card quotes both currencies, so you can pay the listed shilling amount without worrying about exchange rates.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18 holes | KSh9,750 ($75) | KSh5,800 ($45) | KSh4,600 ($35) | KSh7,800 ($60) | KSh4,000 ($30) |
| 9 holes | KSh5,850 ($45) | KSh3,200 ($25) | KSh2,600 ($20) | KSh4,600 ($35) | KSh2,600 ($20) |

A few rules sit behind the Vipingo Ridge green fees table. Member guests must play with the member who invited them. Junior players are under 16 and should be accompanied by an adult. Some twilight figures on the card do not follow the dollar pattern exactly, so ask the Pro Shop which figure applies on the day you book.
Extras on top of Vipingo Ridge green fees
Vipingo Ridge green fees cover the course only. The golf page lists these extras:
- Golf buggy (two-seater): KSh3,300 for 9 holes and KSh5,200 for 18 holes. Day hire is also offered. Ask whether two players sharing a cart pay one fee or two.
- Callaway premium rental set: KSh2,750 for 9 holes and KSh4,750 for 18 holes, with men’s, ladies’, left- and right-handed sets. Junior sets are available too.
- Bag storage: available at the Clubhouse.
The Pro Shop opens from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm daily and sells apparel, tees and refreshments. The resort lists its contacts as proshop@vipingoridge.com and +254 733 155 155.
Vipingo Ridge green fees plus extras: what a round really costs
Vipingo Ridge green fees are only part of the bill. Here is what one player pays for 18 holes using the published rates, before caddie tips, food or transport:
| Player | Green fee | + Buggy | + Club hire | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Visitor with own clubs, walking | KSh9,750 | – | – | KSh9,750 |
| Visitor, buggy and rental set | KSh9,750 | KSh5,200 | KSh4,750 | KSh19,700 |
| Kenyan citizen, buggy, own clubs | KSh5,800 | KSh5,200 | – | KSh11,000 |
| Villa guest, buggy and rental set | KSh4,000 | KSh5,200 | KSh4,750 | KSh13,950 |
If you split a buggy and the resort charges per cart, each player’s share falls by KSh2,600. Bringing your own clubs is the simplest saving: it removes KSh4,750 from every 18-hole round.
Multi-round Vipingo Ridge green fees: where the value is
The multi-round Vipingo Ridge green fees reward golfers who stay for several days. Dividing each bundle by the number of rounds shows the real per-round price:
- Kenyan citizen: KSh5,800 for one round, KSh5,500 each across two, KSh5,200 each across three, KSh5,080 each across five and about KSh4,829 each across seven.
- Visitor: KSh9,750 for one round, falling to KSh7,800 each on the seven-round bundle, a saving of about 20%.
- Villa and member guests: KSh3,600 each on two rounds, falling to about KSh3,257 each on seven.
The 2026 card of Vipingo Ridge green fees does not say how long a bundle stays valid, whether rounds must be used on consecutive days, or whether they can be shared between players. Confirm those terms before you pay.
Stay-and-play packages
Beyond standard Vipingo Ridge green fees, the resort also advertises packages that bundle golf with accommodation. In November 2026 the resort’s pages listed:
- A Kenya-residents group package at KSh39,800 per person, covering a two-night stay for four guests with breakfast, airport transfers and golf.
- Signature Villa bed and breakfast at KSh24,000 per night for two (KSh12,000 per person), which includes the reduced resort guest green fee of KSh4,000 for 18 holes, a 45-minute introduction-to-golf session for two at the PGA Academy, and secure parking.
These offers are subject to availability and ask for proof of identification, so treat them as seasonal and check the current terms.
