Over 200 Golfers Set for Prestigious IPF Tournament at Ruiru Golf Course

The third edition of the Institute of Public Finance (IPF) Golf Tournament is set to draw over 200 top golfers from Nairobi and its environs tomorrow at the par-73 Ruiru Golf Course.

The one-day tournament will tee off at 6:30 am with the morning session, followed by the afternoon round at 12:30 pm, as golfers take on the challenging 18-hole course in pursuit of top honours.

Club Captain Justus Mathenge expressed confidence that this year’s event will not only provide a highly competitive platform for golfers but also strengthen Ruiru’s reputation as one of the most sought-after golfing destinations in Kenya.

"We are proud to host the third edition of the IPF Golf Tournament, which has quickly grown into one of the most anticipated fixtures at Ruiru,” he said.

“The turnout of over 200 golfers speaks to the trust the golfing community has in our course, and we are delighted to be a preferred venue for such prestigious events.”

The IPF Tournament has in recent years attracted elite golfers, corporate executives, and enthusiastic amateurs, making it a highlight in the local golfing calendar.

With participants expected from across Nairobi, Kiambu, and beyond, the event is also seen as a networking opportunity, bringing together diverse stakeholders under the spirit of sport.

Ruiru Golf Course has continued to cement its position as a hub for major golfing activities. It has successfully hosted marquee events such as the Golfer of the Year (GOTY) series, the Engineers Tournament, and numerous high-profile corporate competitions.

Known for its well-maintained fairways and challenging greens, the par-73 course offers a blend of tradition and modern golfing standards, attracting both seasoned professionals and rising talents.

Organisers have assured that tomorrow’s competition will be as much about camaraderie as it will be about sporting excellence, with players and fans set to enjoy a vibrant day of golf at one of the country’s most iconic courses.
