The tees are in very rough shape but it’s still my favorite course to play in Connecticut!

The course wasn’t mowed the day we played. Probably because of rain the day before. But it appeared not to have been mowed for several days. Greens were slowest I’ve played this year and tees were awful. Traps were unplayable.

Awful condition! The tees are beat up the greens have deep ball marks all over them and are in poor shape. This course used to be my favorite. I won’t go back!

The foursome directly in front of me (9:21 AM) were a disgrace to be on any golf course. They tee’d off on the very first hole while the group in front of them was looking for their tee shot in the right rough only a couple of hundred yards in front of the first tee. They were laughing about it at the time. I have played golf for 40+ years and never seen golfers act like them. They wore their golf hats backwards, played from the Blue tees and every time we came up to the tee behind them they were barely in the fairway and most times looking for balls less than 100 yards from the tee. They had no right playing from the blue tees. On the back nine, I don’t remember the hole my threesome had all three balls about 150 yards from the green as we waited to hit. One of the young men in the group decided to walk from the green all the way to us at the 150 markers in a rage. He was yelling at the top of his lungs and clearly was in an out of control rage accusing us of hitting up on them. He then accused us of calling the clubhouse to report them for slow play which we never did. He threatened us not to do it again and then walked all the way back to the green to finish the hole while we waited the whole time.

First, we never hit up on them. We waited until they were on the green on the par 4’s and were clearly out of range on the par 5’s. He told a ranger that we hit one to 6 feet from where they were. I have been in golf long enough to know that occasionally someone may hit a much longer drive than usual and it’s possible that it might ROLL up to them. Never did a ball that we hit come close to landing anywhere near them. He also claimed that they were waiting on every hole which they clearly were not. There was a hole open in front of them at times. Most times as I mentioned, we came to the tee to find them 100 yards away looking in the woods for balls.

I will probably not play at Oxford Greens again.
