Who owns the club and how was the idea conceived?
The Country Club of Oxford is owned solely by Golden Eagle Investments, Inc., of the Dallas area. Golden Eagle is involved in a variety of other entrepreneurial activities including real estate development and oil and gas exploration and production. The idea to provide Oxford with an exceptional club originated when Golden Eagle concluded Oxford- with all its charm, quality of life and tourists- along with the benefits of the University of Mississippi presented an investment opportunity. Additionally, many publications such as USA Today, Kiplingers, and Fortune 500 have forecast Oxford as being one of the Top Five Retirement Communities in the United States. Oxford, with its sophisticated citizenry and desire for excellence has never enjoyed the many benefits of an exceptional golf course and country club. Discerning all of these factors, Golden Eagle decided to make a major investment in Oxford following the wise business maxim- If you see a need, fill it.
