The
LGU records the founding of the Oxford
Ladies Golf Club as 1901, and in its first years it was known
as “Cowley Ladies”. In 1912 OLGC came into being and was based at Southfield
Park – later to become the links of Southfield Golf Club.
The ladies have an approximate membership of 100 and in 1999 history was made when two lady directors joined the main board of Southfield Golf Club. Thursday is the main competition day and Saturday the alternative competition day. OLGC is unique in that around 1963 Club Suppers began to be held on the first Thursday of each month. These have continued and become an occasion to introduce and welcome new members, arrange games, announce competition winners and match results etc but, best of all, to keep members in touch throughout the year.
The Ladies “Open” is a well attended day and attracts players from many other counties. Many cups and trophies are keenly competed for throughout the golfing calendar. Charities such as the Jack Howarth House Day, Cancer Relief and the Sir Michael Sobell House receive great support from the ladies.
The social side is not neglected and the ladies organise skittles evenings, barbeques and the famous “theme” evenings.
OLGC is known as a particularly friendly club and is happy to welcome new members and visitors to the Southfield course.
