Golf in Oxford

Oxford is the Lafayette County seat and home of the University of Mississippi, one of the most celebrated small cities in the American South. The Square's dining, music, and literary culture has created a nationally recognized small-city identity, and the city's association with William Faulkner — whose Rowan Oak estate is preserved on the Ole Miss campus — gives Oxford a literary heritage of world significance. The Double Decker Arts Festival and the literary tradition sustained by Square Books and visiting authors make Oxford a cultural destination anchored by both academic tradition and genuine creative life. Oxford's Square has established itself as one of the South's most vibrant small-city downtowns, where bookstores, restaurants, and live music venues sustain a cultural scene that rivals much larger cities.
