Millennium Resort Mussanah to host Oman’s first mini golf tournament

Millennium Resort Mussanah will host Oman’s first Mini Golf Championship as local and international golfers, including PGA professionals, compete for an invitation to the National Bank of Oman Golf Classic in October. Each player will have two rounds on the resort’s 18-hole mini golf course to record a winning score and take home the trophy. 

Leon Sassen, General Manager of Golf World, said: “We are delighted to bring Oman’s first Mini Golf Championship to the Millennium Resort Mussanah. The tournament will be run exactly like a normal golf tournament and administered by professional golfers and the resort’s cultivated course and challenging holes will test even the most experienced of golfers. We are looking forward to a high standard of competition at a superb venue and a lot of fun for competitors and spectators alike.” 

Maurice De Rooij, General Manager of the Millennium Resort Mussanah, added: “This is an exciting opportunity for the whole family, amateurs and professionals, to put their putting skills to the test on our fun greens and custom-designed holes. The holes present new obstacles to overcome with creative stroke play and using the unique bumpers and angles to their advantage to complete the course in the least shots possible. The day promises to be a fun occasion with activities throughout the day for guests and a chance to enjoy our assortment of restaurants and the full range on site facilities while taking in the idyllic surroundings as part of a fun packed day of competition.” 

The 18 hole mini golf course at Millennium Resort Mussanah was recently inaugurated as part of a day of festivities held under the patronage of H.E. Sheikh Hilal bin Said Al Hajri, Governor of Al Batinah South and H.E. Dr. Yahya bin Bader Al Mawali, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Social Development. The upcoming competition will be the first to be held on the course, presenting competitors with a brand new and exciting challenge.

The resort features a 54 berth private marina managed by Oman Sail, offering diving, snorkelling, sailing, boat and yacht charter and dolphin watching excursions as well as five swimming pool, three beach football fields and a beach volleyball court on site.
