Al Mouj Golf
Oman's first links style course, designed by Greg Norman and opened in 2012, runs for two kilometers along the Arabian Sea at Al Mouj in Muscat. A par 72 of 7,342 yards with a daunting par 3 island green, it has hosted the International Series and ranked among Today's Golfer's Top 100.

The verdict
Al Mouj Golf gave Oman a golf course to travel for. Greg Norman first walked this stretch of coast in 2006, and the links style layout he created opened in 2012 alongside the marina, hotels and residences of the Al Mouj development, once known as the Wave. It runs for two kilometers along the Arabian Sea, with rugged dunes, windswept fairways and the Hajar mountains rising inland for a backdrop few courses can match.
It is a proper test at 7,342 yards from the tips, par 72, with a daunting par 3 played to an island green and a par 5 that stretches beyond 600 yards. The wind off the sea is the defining feature, turning a benign morning into a real examination by the afternoon. Al Mouj has hosted the International Series on the Asian Tour and earned a place in Today's Golfer's Top 100, rare company for a course in the region.

Designer, opening year, par and yardage verified June 2026 from Greg Norman Golf Course Design, Al Mouj Golf and leading course databases. Al Mouj is a Greg Norman design that opened in 2012, Oman's first links style course, a par 72 of 7,342 yards along the Arabian Sea. Indicative 2026 green fees are premium; rates change by season, so always confirm directly before booking.
The holes worth the trip
The sea is in play across the closing stretch, where the fairways tumble toward the water and the wind dictates club selection on almost every shot. Norman gave the course width off the tee but firm, fast running ground and clever green complexes, so the challenge is positional rather than simply about length. From the correct tees it is a thrill; from the back it is a serious card.
The island green par 3 is the signature, a knee testing shot to a target ringed by water that becomes a genuine gamble when the breeze gets up. The long par 5 rewards two big, controlled swings, and the bunkering throughout is in the Norman style, deep and well placed to punish the lazy line. The paspalum surfaces run true and stand up to the heat.
Al Mouj opened a smart new clubhouse in 2025, completing a resort that already had the marina, the beach and the hotels. For a golf trip to Oman this is the headline round, a links style course on the Arabian Sea that pairs naturally with the older clubs in Muscat for a varied few days.

Where to stay nearby
Al Mouj is its own resort district, with the Mysk and other marina hotels and a string of residences within a few minutes of the first tee, so the simplest plan is to stay inside the development. The beach, the marina and a row of restaurants are all walkable, which suits a relaxed golf trip.
Muscat itself adds depth to a stay, from the grand Sultan Qaboos mosque to the old souk at Mutrah and the resorts along the coast toward Bandar Jissah. Al Mouj pairs naturally with the older clubs in the capital, so a few nights here can take in more than one course.
