Oxford University Golf Club (O.U.G.C.) comprises of the Men's Blues (1st team), the Men's Divots (2nd team) and the Ladies Blues. We are a very social and friendly group, and we are always looking to invite more people into our team. Golf is a great way to meet new people and make close friends, but most importantly it is always exciting, competitive, and fun out on the course.

Golf at Oxford offers a fantastic opportunity to play some of the best courses in the country. The teams are made up of motivated and competitive young men and women who play to a high standard. We have fixtures throughout Michaelmas and Hilary term at a variety of different venues, and our season culminates in the Varsity Match against Cambridge at the end of March.

The University Golf Match is the annual golf match contested between the Oxford and Cambridge Full Blues teams. Started in 1878, it is the oldest amateur event in golf.
