Well, I had fun! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 21, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

You're playing in Nairobi. How cool is that!

There's really no point in reviewing this like a normal course, because it isn't, and I didn't get to play it like a normal course. Getting there was an adventure in itself, but when I finally found my way to campus, I was approached by several students who were waiting on me (I think I stuck out, being a white guy with discs walking around aimlessly).

We went to the forested area of campus which was the "pitch." We played a few holes worth of object golf on some nice terrain with good gaps, and intriguing terrain.

Cons:

Well, no one there knew how to play, or what the course layout actually was. So we had a demo and played safari-style for a while. It was really fun, but I wish it had just been a little more structured.

The course was also incredibly rough. But I doubt that matters.

Other Thoughts:

In fact, I doubt most of this review matters, because if you're in Nairobi, you're going to play this course. And it's going to be awesome because who else can bag it?

A couple notes on navigation: Make sure you email Sebastian Okech before you go, and designate a specific meeting place. Once you get through the front gate, you have to go straight through campus to the sports fields, through the fence in the back left, along the alley of staff housing, and then behind the cow pens. Bring a photo-id to get through the gate.

The students are incredibly hospitable, and they really wanted to be serious about the sport. It breaks my heart that there isn't an infrastructure in Kenya to support disc golf (no place to get discs, or targets, so that's a pretty big obstacle). But the passion is there, and the desire to play is there.

I know most of you reading this will not be able to play it, but hopefully this review gives you an idea of what it was like, and you find it helpful in some way.
