(OXFORD, CT) – The Golf Club at Oxford Greens – managed by Billy Casper Golf – was ranked No. 5 among Connecticut’s best public access courses in GOLF Magazine’s September issue.
Oxford Greens, opened in 2004, bested 174 courses in Connecticut to achieve the distinction. This marks the first time GOLF Magazine – one of the nation’s most widely circulated golf publications – has ranked the best courses in each state. The magazine’s rankings panel included editorial staff and well-traveled golf industry sources.
Earlier this year, Oxford Greens was ranked No. 5 among Connecticut’s best courses in Golfweek’s 2008 “Best You Can Play – State-by-State” rankings
“To be recognized on this list by such an influential magazine is an honor for this comparatively young course,” says Steve Keating, General Manager of The Golf Club at Oxford Greens. “We take pride in providing golfers with outstanding playing conditions, affording them an extraordinary golfing experience.”
Oxford Greens features a muscular, yet playable layout that flows seamlessly through 680 acres of The Constitution State’s beautiful natural resources. The neoclassical, or retro, design harkens back to the old days of New England and the golden era of golf course design. The par-72 layout features bentgrass on the tees, fairways, and greens, and presents tees playing from 4,982 to 7,147 yards. Winding through pristine wooded areas, natural preserves, and open meadows, the course’s holes are fun, yet challenging for players of all abilities.
