It is a remarkable nine hole par 72 course boasting lush greens, \u201ctight\u201d fairways, beautiful mature trees, a clubhouse, changing rooms and cabro carpark in Nairobi\u2019s green-belt. This club of about 500 members helps oxygenate and add colour to the Business District\u2019s concrete jungle, and has the distinction of being one of the only golf courses in the world \u2013 if not the only one \u2013 that has a fully functioning railway line traversing the course, over which golfers must strike their golf balls during a round. Indeed, it is fabled that the longest drive on this course has been a ball hit all the way to Kisumu!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kenya Railway Golf Club The Railways is a fun course to play, especially if you are lucky enough to have your game coincide with a train passing through the course.
