Mombasa Golf Club functions as an exclusive members' club, drawing membership from shipping, tea, legal, banking, and import/export sectors, as well as government officials. The facility includes amenities such as a bar, restaurant, resident golf professional, and scenic pavilion. The course provides a challenging links-style layout set within a scenic coastal environment.
