Golfing action heads east as Jinja prepares to host the next leg of the NCBA Golf Series 2025, promising a vibrant mix of strategy, spectacle, and standout moments.
With top-tier amateur talent converging from across Uganda and East Africa, all eyes will be on the green at hole 18, where the thrilling hole-in-one challenge offers players a shot at winning a brand-new Nissan Qashqai.
Now in its fifth year, the NCBA Golf Series continues to cement its status as one of the region's most prestigious amateur competitions, spanning Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda. The Jinja edition adds another layer of excitement to the tour, which teed off earlier at Uganda Golf Club Kitante.
“There’s an electric buzz around this year’s series,” said Mark Muyobo, NCBA’s CEO. “Jinja brings a perfect blend of laid-back charm and fierce competition… we're expecting daring plays and unforgettable highlights.”
Top performers at this weekend’s showdown will earn golden tickets to the Grand Finale in Nairobi, set for November at Muthaiga Golf Club, where the stake, and bragging rightswill be sky high.
