Leisure Lodge Beach & Golf Resort

The Leisure Lodge Beach & Golf Resort lies directly on Diani Beach, which is located on Kenya’s eastern coast. It is situated on a 118-hectare terrain by the Indian Ocean, offering a one-of-a-kind view of the sea. From the nearby town of Ukunda, the Leisure Lodge Beach & Golf Resort is just 10 minutes away via Diani Beach Road, while the trip from the large town of Mombasa requires more than an hour via the A 14. In 1998, it opened an 18-hole course with par 72, designed by the golf course architect Tommy Fjastad. He created a 6,084-meter-long course with wavy, mostly long, narrow fairways lined by mango trees, casuarinas, and cashew nut bushes, large greens, several doglegs, 88 bunkers, and water hazards in the form of two lakes. At hole 15, golfers must first laboriously play around a huge lake in a quarry or daringly play across it to reach the green. A small lake also awaits golfers of all handicaps at hole 18. The championship course at the Leisure Lodge Beach & Golf Resort ranks among the best golf courses in East Africa and is considered the most beautiful course in the region. In 1999, the resort was awarded the title “Finest Golf Resort” and was selected as the “Best Undiscovered Golf Destination” by IAGTO in 2008.
