Holes #6 & #18:
Oxbow members are proud to play on a professionally designed golf course created by one of
todays most accomplished golf course architects Robert Trent Jones JR. His use of
ponds and the famous Oxbow lend challenging playability features and natural
beauty to the course. To that end, perhaps one of the most dramatic finishing holes in the
upper Midwest is #18 at Oxbow Country Club. The beauty and the beast, a four
par which requires two strategic shots over water (the Oxbow) to make the green. Matches
have been won or lost on this picturesque and memorable hole.
The challenging #6 at Oxbow is a 532 yard
5 par. A tight fairway awaits the second shot for those playing this hole regulation
style, with the oxbow water hazard lurking on the right. The big hitter will ponder
risk/reward when making a decision to go for the green in two. Bunkers and grass
berms
around the left and rear of the green may not leave them the third shot they are looking
for.
Derby:
A favorite tournament for members and guests at Oxbow is the Derby. The wagons
circle the greens with gallery as the hole by hole elimination format builds drama. Oxbow
features a well balanced selection of member/member and member/guest golf events for men,
women, and families.
North American Cup:
Oxbow was host to the North American Cup golf tournament featuring a showdown between top
golfers from North Dakota and Manitoba. Every other year, Oxbow hosts one of our North
Dakota State golf tournaments. Superintendent David Wood prepares the course meticulously
and offers the golfers a tour quality track for the event.
Oxbow members enjoy a golf course maintained at levels not found on
municipal courses. The greens at Oxbow are said to be some of the best around the country,
they roll smooth and true.
Pool:
Oxfest is an annual membership event geared toward the family. The kids participate in a
variety of pool and recreational events designed with more fun in mind than
competition. From the dunk tank excitement to our Golf Professional John Dahl and his
trick shot clinic, Oxfest is exemplary of the Clubs commitment to foster a
family atmosphere while still maintaining a strong golf identity.
