The Golf Club At Oxford Greens

I consider this my "home" course as I play here between 12 and 15 times a season. Do yourself a favor and get yourself an Advantage card. If you work it out you only have to play 4 or 5 times to get your money's worth. Anyway about the course. The greens are always firm and fast and can take a beating (NO one seems to repair pitch marks these days). The course has a consistent right to left tilt especially on the fairways. The course has a links feel in a woodsy setting and many shots from the tee and on approach are pure target golf. The cart staff is incredibly friendly and every one of the bar staff (you know who you are!) treat you like old friends. I love it here. My only gripe is that the course is becoming overrun with pop up residences and some of my favourite holes which at one time were encapsulated by trees no are decidedly less aesthetic. Oh.. and the bunkers are dirt, you are better off chipping out than using a traditional approach.

One of the best,mif not the best, public courses in CT. Extremely long, and challenging, most go,fears will want to play the white tees. The most intimidating feature is the narrow layout, closely followed by lots of well-placed traps (some of them almost pot-bunker style with high walls). Many fairway traps will also add to your challenge.

Course condition was outstanding. A nice touch is the outdoor BBQ at the 9th tee.

The entire course was cart paths only which made for an extremely long round. You'd have to bring half your bag with you for every shot because of unknown yardages. We had a threesome in front of our foursome and still managed to wait on every shot. The course was in great shape. The greens were phenomenal, fast and true. But pace of play is always the issue here. 5-6 hour rounds are the norm, even when its not cart paths only. You'd think for $80 they wouldn't try and cram in tee times every 7 minutes, but thats what happens. Love the course, but the pace is not worth the money you spend.

I'm a local and play Oxford 4-5 times a year. It's a great design but plagued with some poor management. My issues this year have been with bunker maintenance, cart management, and pace of play. It seems the bunkers are groomed no more than once or twice a week, which is poor for a good charging a premium rate. More often than not, ball is in a rain rut or footprint in bunker. I've had issues with afternoon rounds-no carts available and required, or a cart that doesn't have enough battery to complete the round and we have to call into pro shop for replacement. It would seem a company like Billy Caspar Golf would have enough working equipment to support play. Lastly, rounds here can be brutally slow. I played one weekend afternoon and it took 5:20. I spoke to the ranger twice and he said there was a tourney ahead and he wasn't going to do anything about it. Long rounds are the norm here.

Good news is nice layout - generous fairways, fast undulating greens, good mix of short and long holes. Greens can be hard at times and won't hold an approach if it hasn't rained in a while. It could be one of the best public tracks in CT with some care and attention. I don't know if they don't want to invest in maintenance (bunkers/carts) or just poorly managed.

The course is hilly and plays long. Even from the white tees it's 6350 yards. Interesting lay out with a nice variety of types of holes. The holes with cart path only are tough, especially if you are in the opposite of the fairway or rough. This contributes to the slow pace of play. The locals seem to accept it but I found it annoying. The greens are fast but consistent. You need to allow for more break than you normally would. If you hit the ball too firm and miss the hole, you could be 6-10 feet past it. It would be nice if they had a course guide book available to better understand how the holes play. I wish the pin flags were different colors based on their placement. The card shows four pin areas for every green. If you live east of Waterbury allow more time to get to the course. The mixmaster construction on I-84 is brutal.

This course is kept in great shape. The fun layout makes every shot a relatively challenging one, but never made me (average at best) feel like I was at a disadvantage. Went after work at 630 pm to get a quick 9 holes in before dark, but only managed to play 4 holes because the twosome in front of us was playing at an unbearably slow pace. Other than that group, this is a great course.

There are some design issues with this course with the major one being the 3rd green. Thee tees are in terrible condition which could be solved with more frequent rotation of the markers. No convenient way to get something to eat. It took over an hour to get a hot dog from the cart girl. Needless to say the hot dog was cold and the fries were colder.

Everything was fine except the slow, slow play. For a Thursday and not very busy, should not have to wait every hole. No ranger in sight to speed things up.

Little bit expensive vs. most in CT. Greens are fast. Holes are challenging, course is long! Played on a Tuesday 8:30am, rained a few hours before still fast greens for the most part which raised my score. I am a beginner at best but never exceeded 7 strokes on a few holes. Hit all the greens on the par 3's. There seems to be more room along the fairways than some have previously mentioned even with my slice.. lol.. Not sure how weekend rounds would be. Def more expensive and at least 5 hours as it took us 4.5 on a slow Tuesday. Would play again for the right price.

Championship level golf course at 78 dollars for a twosome cart included. Track generally in good condition with some worn patches. Fast greens. Some teeshots look intimidating but have much wider landing areas than can be seen from the teebox. Use of a forecaddy would greatly improve play for first round. Challenging and fun par 3s. You need every club in the bag for this course.

This was our first time playing this course and we experienced a great round of challenging golf. The design and course layout are terrific and you are constantly challenged to use different shots and club selections. This is not a driver and wedge only course.

The course was in great shape and the greens offer a nice challenge. Highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to experience a challenge on a well maintained course.

Great day!!!

The Oxford Greens Golf Course was in great shape, and the weather was beautiful during my late morning round of golf. I was pleasantly greeted by a cart attendant upon my arrival, and directed me to the pro shop for checkin. The Pro Shop employee was also friendly and informative. He provided some basic information regarding the course layout, and welcomed us to Oxford Greens. The on-duty starter was very personable, accommodating, and very professional.. I played from the blue tees and found the course both challenging and well maintained. I especially like the quick greens and well kept fairways. The course is narrow and requires you to stay in the fairway for a par or better. The course played well, but the greens were hard and difficult to hold. Overall, it is a great course with a friendly staff, and fun to play.

Super maintained course with friendly staff (not stuffy)

great twilight deals and worked my friend and I into an open hole when the front was a little backed up.

greens are true and quick. a true risk/reward course.

one of the best courses around

The course was in good shape. Can't believe it was my first time at this course. Very challenging but fair. Great venue and for the price, thought it was one of thee better values around. Will be back soon!

Honestly I was expecting more. If this is one of the top courses in the state, then every other course just jumped up a notch.
At first glance it looks impressive but as the round progressed the fairways are worn out in places, tee boxes littered with wood and greens are rock hard...fast greens are one thing but these greens take it to another level. Got a great GN deal and wanted to play this course but IMO not worth $70+ regular price tag.

Didn't use the driver much. Gotta place your shots carefully here. Really fast greens. All in all it was a good course with good food and a very friendly staff

Loved Oxford Greens. The conditions were terrific. Staff helpful. The greens putted fast and true. The layout was nice and I can't wait till the FALL colors are in. It has to be just breathtaking. Challenging holes but no surprises.

My one and only knock on this place is that the pace of play is usually slow. My suggestion for you is to go into your round expecting it. Then try your best not to 3 putt the first green or follow that up with a 4 putt on the stunning down hill par 3 for a double bogey. By the time you make it up to the green on the majestic uphill par 5 3rd, you slowly start to realize why it takes a foursome 5 hours to play 18. This course is a legit challenge. I usually shoot anywhere from 82-86, I’ve never broke 90 here. I usually don’t like playing courses that I stink at, but this gem is an exception. It’s fantastic in all areas, from the practice range to the friendly bartenders at the cafe. One of my favorite characteristics about this course is that every hole is it’s own hole. The tee boxes are spread out and you never have to worry about hitting on top of people that shanked a drive into your fairway. Walking this course is for the brave. Even though this place beats me up, I always enjoy the time that I get to actually soak up the beauty of it. The abundance of wildlife is always a plus for me, the cart paths are smooth and the carts are electric. It’s just perfect, driving over the winding wooden bridges that link the holes together gives you time to forget about- or reflect back on- the shot you did or didn’t hit or that shot that you wish you pulled off on the previous hole. The fairways are like carpet and the rough is like a box of shoelaces, the greens are like glass and the bunkers are fluffy. I love this place. Good people, great golf, and an overall awesome experience every time I’ve ever been. Keep on keeping on divot crew! Thanks for helping keep Oxford in such great shape.
