Having started with two sand courses the game of golf has existed in Oman since 1970. Over the following half century the industry has grown to the point where there are now five grass courses all within close proximity to the capital city Muscat.
Oman's landscape is varied, from the tall mountains and deep gorges of the Al Hajar range to the unspoilt beaches and dramatic coastline, the golf courses echo this and all provide a unique and memorable experience for those who play them.
As well as meeting the domestic demands of the citizens and residents of the Sultanate golf has become a key driver for tourism and investment and through events such as the European Tour Oman Open has put Oman in the global spotlight. Through this exposure, and the testimonies of those who have visited, Oman is quickly earning a reputation as a unique and spectacular golf tourism destination.
