The Oxfordshire Golf Club

The course at the Oxfordshire is simply top class! Even though it is relatively young it seems to have been there for years and has a very mature and established feel to it. The greens were running fast and true this summer and the overall condition is remarkable. I knew it was a Rees Jones design so was expecting to play a good course but it went far beyond my lofty expectations. Every hole is brilliant but the par 5 17th is by far the stand out hole.

We booked our break with Your Golf Travel.com and for a little over £100 pounds we enjoyed a night in the hotel and a round on this fantastic course. The hotel was great. Very comfortable and stylish with food that hits the spot after a day on the golf course.

5 stars all around for The Oxfordshire! I for one will be returning as soon as I can.

Great golf course and all round resort. I've played a few rounds here over the past years and can safely say it is one of the best in the UK. Greens are always fast running, the fairways in good condition and the service second to none. Well worth returning to.

Having heard good things about the Oxfordshire I was very pleased when I received an invite for a game here.

It is a fairly new course that has received some critical acclaim thanks to its fast running greens and impressive layout. In recent years the course has played host to both premier amateur and professional events and can certainly testify that this is a good test of golf.

We played from the tees of the day which ensured we had a nice game of golf, I think we would've struggled off the back tees which seemed to be far away on some holes.

The clubhouse is light and airy with the food and drink on offer excellent while the staff were superb and helpful.

Anyone looking for a championship golf break can also enjoy the hotel which is onsite. I only arrived late the night before so didn't really use the facilities only other than to sleep but the rooms were modern and of a good standard.

I played the course in a competitive event organised annually for golf club officials. I must say that I really enjoyed the course which was beautifully green when there has been very little rain for quite a period. There is quite a lot of water and many, many bunkers of which some are huge in area. Every hole is different and you really need to think your way around before taking a club out of your bag.
The greens were nicely presented, relatively soft and quite fast.The weather on the day was sunny with a light breeze but I understand that if you do play on a windy day, the degree of difficulty is very greatly increased. I would happily return here if the opportunity arose.

Admittedly as part of a company day I had the pleasure of playing this course.
Using previous reviews (as I always do!) I wasn't too excited. But I didn't come across any of the faults below. Although I was told the a challenge tour event was played a week earlier.
Tees and greens immaculate, as was the stunning views and the penalty for leaving the fairway is almost certainly 'a drop'. The bunkers were fine and with the numerous fairway bunkers surely the sand shouldn't be knee deep! also there water a plenty but all relevant to the course.
The changing rooms and Japanese bath was wonderful.
I have to say the near £100 a round doesn't justify 'value' oh don't let the fact I holed a 135 yard 8 iron on the 8th think my judgement has been clouded.

I played this course last week in terrible conditions (non-stop rain) and, unless it had been a charity event for the British Olympic Team, I'm sure that the course would have been closed.
Despite this, the greens and fairways were in good condition. The bunkers were so flooded that we lost balls in them, but they were well positioned.
For my standard of golf (18 handicap) some of the holes were a bit too long, and not many were particularly memorable.
In all, not a course that I want to rush back and play again - I would prefer to visit Chart Hill or Dale Hills that are under the same ownership. Also, the standard weekday green fees of £100 mid-week are, in my opinion, overpriced - I need a memorable course for that sort of money.
However, as the conditions were so bad, it may well have coloured my judgement.

had a great day at the oxfordshire straight from the start the society manager makes you feel welcome.beware of the starter he will talk you to death.all holes in superb condition and if on a society have the carvery option.

I had the pleasure of playing in the London Golf Show's Premiership Pro-Am on Wednesday 15th March 2006. I had read alot about The Oxfordsire and was really looking forward to the day, and I wasn't dissapointed. Course was in superb condition, with by far the quickest greens I have ever played on. It was a Shotgun start, with our 4-Ball going of the 2nd. There were some wonderful holes, my favourtie was the 9th which plays back up to the clubhouse. Standing on the T you easily forget you are only 10 Mins from the M40. A great links feel to the hole. My only grumble was it looked like they have really cut the rough back, so it doesn't punish wayward shots at all. The only balls I lost were to the water !!!!!! I had the pleasure of getting a Par on the 17th (Padraig Harrington shot 14 in the B&H Masters). A great day complemented by the wonderful staff. The clubhouse is fantastic. Pro-shop was smaller than I imagined, but you should only really need a score card and course planner from the anyway !!!!
Shame I can't afford the £100 for a round in the summer but at least I got the chance to play it.
Go play it and enjoy, soak up the atomsphere :-)

I was fortunate enough to be a member in 1995/1996
the course is truly fantastic, scenic challenging and extremely well manicured compared to a majority of Uk courses, it reminded me of an inland links course, and coming from Melbourne Australia, it provided me with the quality and type of golf I am used to here.

beg borrow or steal to play this fantastic golf course. a truly magnificent test of golf. greens and fairways in superb condition throughout the year, and what is more, the course is never crowded.
