Just a short drive of 20 minutes from Nairobi, I found myself at the picturesque Sigona Golf Club, located off the Naivasha highway in Kiambu, Kenya, and my expectations were exceeded in every way possible! As soon as I arrived, I was enveloped in a serene country-style ambiance that instantly lifted my spirits. The warmth of the welcome from the staff struck me as remarkable, making me feel right at home. I was particularly touched by the charming service from Diana, who made us feel special throughout our visit.
The moment I stepped onto the beautifully maintained 18-hole championship golf course, I could see why this place is so celebrated. Each hole presented a unique challenge, and I found myself captivated by the lush green fairways and the stunning scenery all around. The greens were in excellent condition, offering both excitement and serenity in equal measure. I experienced all of this on a Saturday afternoon, well within prime tee time.
As I wrapped up my round of golf, I decided to treat myself to something from the clubhouse menu. The reviews I had read did not do justice to the culinary offerings that awaited! I ordered a delightful plate of grilled chicken with a side of fresh salad, priced reasonably at just KES 1,500. It was an explosion of flavors reminiscent of fine dining, yet relaxed enough to complement the day’s sporting activities. The excellent food menu was indeed one of the highlights of my experience, as everyone around me seemed to be enjoying their meals just as much.
The relaxed and friendly atmosphere of the clubhouse combined seamlessly with the top-notch service provided by the waiting staff, which made my dining experience even more enjoyable. I could hear praises of the food wafting through the air, with comments ranging from ‘exceptional’ to ‘well worth every penny.’
While relaxing by the swimming pool after my meal, I couldn't help but appreciate how Sigona caters to everyone. The fun children’s playground kept the little ones entertained, allowing parents to unwind and enjoy the breathtaking views and elegant surroundings. The perfect blend of family-friendly amenities alongside a dedicated golf experience truly makes Sigona a top choice for both avid golfers and families.
In summary, if you’re searching for that elusive combination of elegance and relaxation, Sigona Golf Club is your destination. The kind hospitality, stunning course, and delicious food all come together to create an unforgettable experience. I walked away understanding why everyone talks so highly of Sigona and can’t wait to share this experience with friends and family!
