NCBA Kenya Invitational 2026

Event Information

U.S. Kids Golf is excited to host the 4th NCBA Kenya Invitational at the stunning Karen Country Club. Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful courses in Kenya — and one of the most storied in East Africa — Karen Country Club features a parkland-style layout that winds through towering indigenous trees and flowering shrubs, with ongoing wetlands conservation adding to its lush, natural character. The course has hosted major events on the DP World Tour, Hotel Planner Tour, and Sunshine Tour.

The NCBA Kenya Invitational provides young golfers with the opportunity to compete in a multi-day International Partner event and earn U.S. Kids Golf Priority Status. By achieving various levels of Priority Status, players can qualify for other U.S. Kids Golf Major Championships, including Regional, International, and the prestigious World and World Teen Championships.
