Two points stand out. First, Nyali charges the same KSh5,000 on weekdays and weekends, unlike many Nairobi clubs that charge more on Saturdays and Sundays. Second, Wednesdays and Thursdays are marked “members only”, so a visitor on a short coast break should book a Monday, Tuesday, Friday or weekend tee time. The weekly fee of KSh31,500 works out to KSh4,500 a day over seven days, a saving for golfers on a week-long holiday who play daily.
Reciprocating members, meaning members of clubs that have a reciprocal deal with Nyali, pay just KSh500 up to twice a month. If you belong to a Kenyan club, ask your own club secretary whether Nyali is on its reciprocal list before you pay the full visitor rate.
The Nyali Golf Club course and facilities
The club’s history page says Nyali opened as a nine-hole course in 1958 to serve local residents, became a members’ club in 1974 and grew to a full 18-hole layout by 1980. The course was designed by Monty Lowry. It lies just north of Mombasa, about 30 minutes from the city centre according to the club, with Bermuda fairways, flame trees and vervet monkeys on the course.
The club’s hole guide picks out three tests:
- Hole 3, a 184-yard par 3 with the smallest green on the course, bunkers on both sides and right-to-left winds;
- Hole 7, a narrow 373-yard par 4 with trees on both sides and a green that slopes right to left; and
- Hole 18, a 169-yard par 3 finishing into the clubhouse.
The club notes that the December monsoon winds make several holes play much longer, with a 4-iron sometimes needed on the 184-yard third. Away from golf, members and their guests can use tennis and squash courts, a basketball court, a swimming pool, the clubhouse, a lounge and the pro shop, and the club offers lessons with professional instructors.
How to join Nyali Golf Club
Nyali offers individual, family and corporate options. The membership form lists four classes (double, single, junior aged 16 to 21, and student under 25 in full-time education) and two types, full and social. The steps set out on the club’s membership page and form are:
- Fill in the application form (section A) in capital letters, with a passport-size photo.
- Get a proposer and seconder. Both must have been voting members of Nyali for at least two years and sign section B.
- Submit the form with documents and fees to the finance committee: copies of your national ID or passport, two passport photos, and proof of age or studies for junior and student applicants. Spouses go on a double membership; children aged 21 and over need their own.
- Introductions. Once finance has checked the form, a temporary swipe card can be issued so you can start using the club, and you are introduced to the committee.
- 30-day notice. The application is posted on the club notice board for 30 days so members can comment.
- Decision. The main committee considers it after the 30 days and tells your proposer the outcome. Once approved you pay the entry fee for your category plus one quarter’s subscription.
The club does not publish its entry fee or subscription rates online, so request the current schedule from the membership office on 0726 414477, 0733 414477 or info@nyali.co.ke.
