Clubnite golf celebrations: April green season

Written By Victoria Finn

In April we have had a mixed month with hollow tining essential work to improve the greens, and the start of the much needed and much appreciated rains. Great, as the course recovers from the long dry season, but challenging conditions for golfers.

In January we launched our new look Clubnite events at the PGA Baobab Course in January 2025, with new green fee pricing, new presentation and new every we have had another great month in March with more and more guest players joining the Vipingo Ridge Golf Club.

Here we take a look at the highlights from April:

Friday 4th April 2025

The rains arrived! We had a small group for this Clubnite, dodging the showers on the course, and the greens in recovery from the recent hollow tining maintenance. We did have a cake to celebrate the April babies, which was much enjoyed by the Members and guests.

Committee Member Les was on hand, stepping in for the Captain for the prizegiving and presentation.

Winner: Andrew
Runner up: Sue

Friday 11th April 2025

We had a stunning sunset on the Clubhouse Rooftop and Captain Rose Musau presided over the prizegiving, receiving a prize herself from Committee Member Les. Former Captain Sue took the win.

Overall Winner: Sue
Runner up: Rose

Friday 18th April 2025

We had a number of guest players for this mid-month Clubnite and a lovely sunset for the presentation. We also welcomed the Lady Captain from Windsor Golf Club to play an 18-hole round, overnight stay and Beach Club day on Saturday.

Friday 25th April 2025

The final Clubnite of April we had a clear day, but with the ladies of the Club representing at an away competition March was the start of the rains! Though of course very welcome, the rain did interrupt pla.y We moved inside to the Clubhouse dining room for the prizegiving, with Les from the Golf Club Committee stepping in to do the honours.
