The KAF Golf Club, located at Moi Airbase, Nairobi, has a rich history dating back to its inauguration in 2002.
The club was initially developed as an exclusive facility for military personnel to unwind and hone their golfing skills.
But after recognising the wider community's passion for the sport, the course was opened to the public.
"We are honoured to host the 12th leg of the NCBA Golf Series at the Kenya Airforce Golf Club, bringing us closer to the grand finale," said NCBA managing director John Gachora.
"We're particularly excited to introduce this exceptional course to the series for the first time and we are hoping to witness exceptional talent, similar to what we have seen in previous tournaments.”
“This tournament aligns perfectly with NCBA's commitment to supporting the sport at all levels. By taking the series to new venues, we can expose a wider audience to the sport and contribute to the growth of Kenya's golfing community,” he added.
