Oman
In 2009 Oman opened its first 18-hole grass course at the Muscat Hills Golf & Country Club, set close to the capital – designed by Paul Thomas, former European Tour player and son of Dave Thomas. There are now five Omani courses and we think the best is currently the Greg Norman-designed Al Mouj. We’ll keep a watchful eye on golf in Oman and we'll let you know what develops, especially given that Oman sees the future of tourism in golf as well as sunshine. Click here for more. The 9-hole course at Jebel Sifah – designed by Peter Harradine and operated by Troon Golf – opened for play in July 2017. Set out within a new residential development an hour’s drive along the coast from Muscat, this seaside layout features wide fairways, a lack of fairway bunkers and gently contoured greens, allowing it to be enjoyed by golfers of all abilities. Our Middle East rankings were last updated in March 2021.
Al Mouj Golf (Championship)
The spectacular centrepiece of the Wave Resort project is the wonderful Greg Norman-designed Al Mouj golf complex that features both a championship 18-hole course and a floodlit 9-hole par three layout.
La Vie Club (Muscat Hills)
La Vie Club (formerly Muscat Hills Golf & Country Club) has set its sights on becoming the “home of golf” in the Sultanate of Oman and early signs suggest that the club is proudly paving the way to success.
