MUSCAT – Al Mouj Golf announced that it has held its’ ranking as number two in the Top 20 Golf Courses in the Middle East in a poll carried out by Top 100 Golf Magazine. The Greg Norman-designed course has 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 ocean side setting.

Titles include Winners of the IAGTO sustainability award for community value and consistently earning Top 2 Middle East rankings and Audubon and GEO Certification for strong leadership in sustainability and golf.

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.”
