Nakuru gears up for sixth leg of 2025 NCBA golf series

Sixth leg of the 2025 NCBA Golf Series is set to take place this Saturday, 12th April, at the scenic par-73 Nakuru Golf Club.
The tournament will bring together 180 amateur golfers from across the Rift Valley region, all vying for top honours and a chance to secure coveted slots at the series’ grand finale later this year.
Adding to the excitement, a hole-in-one prize will be offered courtesy of a partnership between NCBA and leading construction and agricultural equipment dealer, JCB Ganatra Plant and Equipment. The prize will be a brand-new JCB Backhoe Loader, Model 3DX—a significant reward for the rare achievement.
The event follows successful outings at VetLab Sports Club, Nandi Bears Club, Malindi Golf Club, and Kenya Railway Golf Club. Six outstanding players will qualify for the 2025 NCBA Golf Series Grand Finale from the Nakuru event. These will include the Overall Men’s Gross Winner, Overall Ladies’ Gross Winner, Division 2 Men’s and Ladies’ Winners, the Overall Division 3 Winner, and the Junior Winner.
Speaking ahead of the tournament, NCBA Group Managing Director John Gachora expressed enthusiasm about the return to Nakuru, stating:
