About OUGC OUGC is the full Blues sports club for competitive golf at Oxford. Each year, our season culminates in the Varsity Match which is played against Cambridge. The Dark Blues have been competing in this fixture for over 120 years and it offers both our Men’s and Ladies’ teams the chance to win a coveted Oxford Blue. The University Match comes at the end of a season of over 30 weekend fixtures for the Blues and around 20 fixtures for the Divots (2nd team) and Ladies. We are invited to play against great golf clubs all around Britain, over some of the world’s finest courses. We consider ourselves enormously lucky not only to be pitted against good golfers over great courses but also to be invited by our opponents to lunch and dine so well. Interested in golf at Oxford?
