Al Mouj Golf retains second rank in Top 20 ME Golf Courses

Al Mouj Golf in Oman has retained its ranking as '#2 in the Top 20 Golf Courses in the Middle East' in a poll carried out by Top 100 Golf Magazine, said a report.
 
The Greg Norman-designed course scooped the accolade for the second year running in an increasingly competitive field, with Al Mouj Golf winning recognition for both the outstanding quality of the course and its exceptional oceanside setting, Oman Daily Observer reported.
 
Norman’s 72-par, 18-hole course comprises 7,342 yards, is flanked by two kilometres of unspoilt coastline overlooking the Sea of Oman and is set against the backdrop of the majestic Al Hajar Mountains.
 
Commenting on this latest win, Nasser bin Masoud al Sheibani, CEO of Al Mouj Muscat, said: “This is a real achievement for Al Mouj Golf, and it exemplifies Al Mouj Muscat’s aptitude for creating destinations where visitors and residents can enjoy world-class amenities and exceptional lifestyle experiences."
 
“Just as importantly, Al Mouj Golf reflects our long-term commitment to environmental and sustainability awareness and implementation, with our golf course one of only 20 across the globe to have been awarded dual certification for its work on nature, resource preservation and the community. And with significant improvements to the course planned to start this year, I believe that the best is yet to come for members, visitors and the course’s outstanding natural beauty.”
