About Cambridge University Golf Club

Golf at Cambridge is a Full Blue sport. There are three teams: the Blues, the Stymies, and the Ladies’ team.

The annual Varsity Match against Oxford is the oldest amateur event in golf, predating the first Amateur Championship. This year’s match, the 136th University Match, will take place on the 28th and 29th of March 2025 at Royal North Devon Golf Club.
