The event will be played at Uganda Golf Club’s par-72 course in Kitante, marking a return to its fabled home following a two-year hiatus. The event was previously held at Entebbe Club and Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort and Spa.
As usual, ladies will tee-off first in their event that runs between 26th to 28th November. The official practice round for this category will be on 25th November.
There will be no cuts in this category but players will be seeded according to handicaps.

The ‘money golfers’ who play in the Professionals (pros) category will be in action between 3rd and 6th December.
This year’s pro Kitty is Sh. 100 Million that will be split between 30 golfers who will make the cut but according to performance. The winner will take 22.5% of the pro Kitty and the remainder of the players willl share 77.5% of the money, but still according to performance.
The Tournament Director is John Katto and will be assisted by Anthony Agaba.
This year’s Uganda Open was initially slated for August and September but Covid-19 became a damper on all our plans.
