Kiambu Scrapbook - The Kiambu Club - 1913 - Another account says that the DC's wife Mrs Geoffrey Northcote, objected to these holes [golf course] being made in front of her house but the course does not appear to have been altered until 1918, under a different DC, E.B. Horne, who laid out 9 holes with the assistance of two settlers, Charles Day and Jock Munro. Two of these holes were made on what are now roads - the Kambui Road and the road running up from it to the Club and Boma - so either of these two roads did not exist at that time, or their alignment was different.
