The links style course, designed by International golfing legend Greg Norman offered a challenging yet rewarding layout with spectacular wildlife and views of the Indian Ocean and Hajar Mountains.
Competition took place across two days with one practice day, which offered golfers an opportunity to familiarise themselves with the course and acclimatise to the warmer conditions.
Following the competition, golfers and their guests were treated to an impressive trick-shot show by trick-shot World Champion, Geoff Swain with the prize-giving taking place on Monday evening at the Kempinski Hotel, Muscat.
