The OBGS was founded in 1926.  The Club has competed since 1927 in the prestigious Halford Hewitt competition which was founded in 1924.  It is contested between 64 schools, the teams being made up of five pairs - it has been described as 'the greatest of all truly amateur tournaments' and it is the largest of its kind in the world.  The Club has been losing finalists on two occasions - 1988 and 2001.

The Club also enters teams in the Grafton Morrish , the Mellin (for over 55 year olds) and  the Senior Mellin (for over 65 year olds).

There are a number of matches against other societies as well as Spring, Summer and Autumn meetings.  These are enjoyed by golfers of all standards.  The biennial tour is very well supported and also enhanced by the presence of wives.  Over the years these tours have taken the Society to Florida, France and Spain as well as all over the British Isles.

The OBGS strongly encourages the participation of younger members and endeavours to keep the cost of OB golf to a minimum for those under the age of 30.
