Playing this course will be an unforgettable experience for you and for sure in combination with a visit to Rwandas main attractions like the Mountain Gorillas, Akagera Game Park, Nyungwe Forest and Lake Kivu.
But you will find out that Rwanda has much more to offer then this! The woman Intore dancers will show you there graceful dances while the male dancers will show you their impressive movements and high jumps dressed in their traditional outfits.
Traveling through Rwanda is a safari on it self. The beautiful and diverse landscape with its hills, mountains and vulcanous will amaze you again and again.
Access Rwanda Safaris can offer you a tailor made trip through Rwanda, combining Gorilla trekking and/or other interesting safaris, with some nice golf playing, even in combination with other golf courses, like for example in Uganda.
Imagine that you are back home and play your home course again. Would it not be nice to tell your friends that you played at the Kigali Golf Club and met with the Mountain gorillas the other day?
"Thanks, Golf Haters—Now Be Quiet
The Busybodies Who Deride the Sport Should Get a Grip, Preferably on a Club
Since golf seems to lack an antidefamation league, allow me to note the rise in 2009 of antigolf slurs and other inflammatory "incidents." In February, you may recall, the celebrity Web site TMZ provoked a national outcry by revealing that banks that had received federal bailout funds were hosting clients at PGA Tour events. The resulting mini-movement, led by those most unlikely bedfellows, conservative Fox News pundit Bill O'Reilly and liberal Congressman Barney Frank of Massachusetts, caused several corporate sponsors of subsequent events to take down the signs on their hospitality tents, even while the sinful hobnobbing continued inside.
In April, USA Today published an op-ed piece that pretty much blamed golf for getting us into the current economic pickle and for everything else "that's retrograde with American life." The author, sportswriter Robert Lipsyte, made hay of the fact that disgraced financier Bernard Madoff was a golfer and said that the world would be better off if vegetables instead of turf grass were grown on golf's "useless lawns." In July, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez joined the discussion by spending most of his regular Sunday television show denouncing golf as a bourgeois sport and ridiculing the use of motorized golf carts."

Chávez looms large over golf: Hugo Chávez's hard-line stand against the `bourgeois sport' has led to the closing of many golf courses
Venezuelan golf fairways, bunkers and greens have become both the stage of an ideological war headed by President Hugo Chávez and a showcase for the Bolivarian revolution's internal contradictions.
After a 70-year presence in the country, golf is now the target of criticism and attacks by Chávez administration leaders and organizations.
Official measures may result in the closing of more golf courses. In the past five years, the number of courses in Venezuela has gone down to 22 from 28, and three more courses may be in line to be closed as well, according to directors of the Venezuelan Golf Federation (VGF).
Among the closed courses is one the famous designer Robert Trent Jones built on Margarita Island -- the only Venezuelan course certified by the U.S. Professional Golf Association.
The other five courses no longer operating are located near oil fields in the states of Monagas, Zulia and Falcón. The courses remain inactive because the government does not consider their maintenance a priority.
