The Golf Club at Oxford Greens

Overview: The Golf Club at Oxford Greens is a public 18-hole Mark Mungeam course in Oxford, Connecticut. The course is recorded at par 72 and approximately 7,186 yards, with rolling woodland, separated fairways and shaped green complexes giving the modern layout a strong sense of place. Mungeam uses changes in elevation and tree lines to make holes feel distinct rather than repetitive. Some drives invite an aggressive line, while others reward a controlled start that opens the correct side of the approach. The greens are the visual punctuation of the course, with bunkering and surrounding slopes creating targets that ask golfers to think beyond the flag.

History: Oxford Greens opened in 2005 and was designed by Mark Mungeam as a new course carved into the Naugatuck Valley landscape. Its identity is rooted in public golf, but the design has the separation, scale and strategic variety associated with a more formal club setting. The course's official material presents it as Connecticut's newest course and emphasizes the variety of its holes, while the current scorecard record supports the 7,186-yard figure used here. Over time Oxford Greens has built a reputation around its visual setting and its demanding par-three work, especially the hole that the club promotes as Connecticut's toughest. The overall impression is of a contemporary layout that asks for disciplined positioning rather than one repeated style of play.

Did You Know? Oxford Greens' own course material brands one of its holes as “the toughest hole in Connecticut.” The claim is part of the club's identity, but it also reflects the design's intention: a memorable single hole is used as a gateway into a course where every green complex changes the next decision.
