What the club says: With origins of golf first played on the original Cowley Marsh site as far back as 1873, it’s safe to say that Oxford Golf Club is part of the fabric of the city. One of the oldest golf clubs in England and most certainly the oldest in Oxfordshire, the original golf club to take precedence here was the Oxford University Golf Club in 1875.
Since then the Oxford City Golf Club and Oxford Ladies Golf Club now consider Oxford Golf Club as their home and have done so since 1899 and 1901 respectively.
Originally designed by highly acclaimed architect and champion golfer James Braid the course was re-designed as it is today by the legendary Harry Colt in 1922. Colt chose to incorporate some of the original holes (including the fifth) laid out by James Braid, which gives this course one of the finest pedigrees possible in golf course design.
One of the many golfers that have walked our fairways include the likes of Viscount Nuffield himself, William Morris, who also took up presidency of the Oxford City Golf Club from 1925 until his death in 1963.
Closer to the present day and a rather well known gentleman by the name of Peter Dawson (former Secretary of the R&A) was also a member here back in his university days.
Formerly known as Southfield Golf Club from as early as the 1920’s, the course changed its name to Oxford Golf Club in 2011 to help clarify the club’s location in Oxford to the outside world. Given this and the length of time the club has been in situ, it remains somewhat a hidden gem, tucked away off Divinity Road and Southfield Road, at the end of the adjoining Hill Top Road.
Many things have changed over the years, but make no mistake Oxford Golf Club takes pride of place as:
One of the oldest, one of the best…this is golf as it should be!

Reviewed Jun 17 2020 by Arthur M - rated 5 out of 5 Played On the Perch. If you win hole, you are “on the perch” and can get a point if you win the next hole. Halve the hole and you stay on the Perch. Lose the hole and no one is on the perch again.
Played with Charlie Pickford.
Course was in good condition. Greens were very good pace. Struggled with the greens (used to slow crap greens that don’t break)

Course in excellent condition even though it had rained relentlessly for a fortnight. Greens are absolutely immaculate. A very good experience. Loved it.

Reviewed Jun 19 2019 by Mark D - rated 4 out of 5 Inner City Golf..
..well, not quite inner city, but less than two miles from Oxford City Centre.A lovely, well set out club, with some very interesting and challenging holes. The 18th green lies just in front of the clubhouse, and is guarded on all sides by a generous water hazard - must be a fertile hunting ground for pond-ball divers.
Been here several times, always enjoyed the golf, and not least the views over Oxford's dreaming spires.
Clubhouse is large, and not especially welcoming, but the bacon butties aren't too shabby, and very welcome at the halfway point.
Not sure if the pro shop people have changed recently, but were not terribly friendly last time I visited.

Reviewed Apr 17 2019 by Julian H - rated 4 out of 5 FORE!!!!
Starting with the negatives because you can't please all of the people all of the time. Some of the fairways were patchy in places. Some of the bunkers needed a tad more sand. Over 18 holes I only found one ball washer.The reason for this I was told is that there is a public right of way across the course and the kids or maybe some adults vandalise the ball washers. On the positive side you would be hard pushed to find a course where course conditions are perfect unless you are prepared to pay very high green fees for the privilege of playing there. The Oxford Golf Club offers near perfect conditions at very reasonable rates. It is a challenging course and is said to have one of the hardest part three's in England. Overall, it is a great course with a warm and friendly clubhouse. FORE!!!Course (layout/challlenge)
