The two golf courses under construction at Vipingo Ridge are the first in East Africa to be built to a truly international standard, with the world renowned USGA specification being used for all aspects of the course. The large and undulating greens are cultivated with fine Bermuda grasses to guarantee fast and true putting surfaces. A fully automated irrigation system and a large inventory of new green-keeping equipment ensure that the playing surfaces are maintained in pristine condition all year round.
A meandering system of waterfalls, lakes and streams runs through both courses giving a real risk-reward quality to many holes and also creating new natural habitats for birds and wildlife. Extensive fairway modelling and the planting of thousands of new trees ensure that every hole has strategic elements to bring interest and enjoyment.
State-of-the-art practice and coaching facilities are to be integrated into the golf village community, including a 300 metre long driving range with targets and short-game greens designed to allow the enthusiast to replicate every conceivable type of shot.
The superb clubhouse makes the most of the spectacular scenery and has an interior finished to five-star standards. This ensures everyone enjoys a vista par excellence looking out across both courses to the Indian Ocean.
