Green Fees in Muscat: What It Costs to Play in 2026
Muscat is the Gulf's quiet bargain. Al Mouj, the seaside championship course that hosts Asian Tour golf, publishes a summer card of 69 to 89 OMR with the cart thrown in, La Vie's reopened layout posts its rates plainly, and the city's original club at Ghala still prices the old way, by enquiry. Here is what the Omani capital really costs.

The short answer
Three courses cover the capital, and the headliner publishes its prices like a public utility. Al Mouj Golf, the Greg Norman designed links that runs along the Gulf of Oman and stages the Asian Tour's International Series Oman, lists a summer card for May to September 2026 of 69 OMR on weekdays and 89 OMR at weekends for visitors, with the cart and driving range access included and club hire from 15.750 OMR; its nine hole course runs 36 to 43 OMR. Winter rates step up from there and are published seasonally. One orientation note saves confusion: the Omani weekend is Friday and Saturday, so weekday pricing means Sunday to Thursday.
The second act is La Vie Club in the hills behind Seeb, the course golfers knew as Muscat Hills before it closed in 2020 and reopened under new ownership in October 2023. Its published visitor rates have run about 154 pounds Sunday to Thursday and about 220 pounds on the Friday and Saturday weekend, cart included. The third is the sentimental favorite: Ghala Golf Club, golfed since 1971 and the oldest club in the country, a members club that welcomes the public daily with advance booking essential and green fees quoted on enquiry. All three together make Muscat a genuine two or three round city, priced well below Dubai's marquee names an hour's flight away.
The 2026 fee table
| Course | 2026 access and indicative cost |
|---|---|
| Al Mouj Golf, 18 holes | Published summer card (May to September 2026): visitors 69 OMR weekdays, 89 OMR weekends, cart and range included, club hire from 15.750 OMR. Winter rates higher, published seasonally. Greg Norman seaside links, host of the International Series Oman |
| Al Mouj Golf, 9 holes | 36 OMR weekdays, 43 OMR weekends on the summer 2026 card. The smart option for arrival day or the fierce midsummer afternoons |
| La Vie Club | The former Muscat Hills, reopened October 2023: published visitor rates about 154 pounds Sunday to Thursday and 220 pounds Friday and Saturday, cart included. Book online and reconfirm the season's card |
| Ghala Golf Club | The capital's original club, golfed since 1971. A members club open to the public every day, advance booking essential, green fees quoted on enquiry rather than published. Worth the call for the history alone |

How to play Muscat for value
The arbitrage is seasonal. October to April is Muscat's prime, warm and dry while northern Europe shivers, and it prices accordingly; May to September is brutally hot, which is exactly why Al Mouj's summer card discounts so deeply. The committed move in summer is the dawn tee time, off the first at first light and finished before the heat closes in, having paid two thirds of what the same round costs in January. Whatever the month, weight the spend toward Al Mouj: the closing run along the water is the Gulf's best argument that real links golf can grow at this latitude, and the cart, included even at the visitor rate, is no small thing when the temperature climbs.
Muscat also reframes what Gulf golf costs. The marquee Dubai courses publish peak rates that can double Al Mouj's winter card, a comparison laid out fee by fee in our Dubai green fees guide, and plenty of traveling golfers now fly the extra hour for the quieter tee sheets. Build the wider route from the Oman destination guide, take the ranked national verdicts from the best golf courses in Oman, and if the trip pairs the two countries, the Dubai golf holidays page covers the other half of the equation.
