Oxfordshire vs. Cambridgeshire Golf Courses

By: Golfshake Editor | Fri 31 Mar 2017


This Sunday is the Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge Universities. Dating back to 1829, the event has been held annually since 1856, except during the First and Second World Wars, and brings together many of the finest athletes from two of the most prestigious academic institutions on the planet. 250,000 people generally gather on the banks to watch the race, with up to 15 million following live on television. 

It's a famous aspect to both of these English Counties, but what do they have to offer in terms of golf? Following the Golfshake Review Section - taking independent ratings from regular golfers - we have put together five of the best courses to be found in Oxfordshire and Cambridgshire. The question is, how do they compare?

vs. 

Ramsey Golf Club (Cambridgeshire)

Located right in the heart of Huntingdon, Ramsey is a tranquil and enjoyable woodland course, which is easily accessible within the town, but retains a sense of seculsion from it. Green Fee: £25 (Twilight £17)
