The Wynyard course is a test of golf that can prove particularly complex, with its 7000 yards from the points (5764 yards from the front tees), even for the most seasoned players.

History
Remedy Oak Golf Club is new, dating back only to 2006, but the place it calls home has a long history, being an old state forest, owned by Henry Hastings, close to Edward VI. The club has chosen to reflect the history of the place on its crest for this golf club, which features a crown, stag, oak tree and crossed golf clubs. The crown refers to the child king, friend of the owner of the premises, the stag refers to their hunting parties, the oak refers to the famous Remedy Oak at the entrance to the road leading to the club (it is here that King Edward VI would have cured people of scurvy by touching them).

From Birmingham to Cardiff to Canterbury, your golfing trip in England will be one to remember.
Exceptional courses in green surroundings with sometimes a breathtaking view of the sea, this golf trip will be an unforgettable moment of escape and a great way to test a wide variety of golf courses.
When it comes to golf in the British Isles, Ireland and Scotland will undoubtedly always take the top spot when it comes to links-type courses. However England is rich in diversity with wooded routes, Links and “Parklands”. You have to start with the great triad of Berkshire, Sunningdale and Wentworth outside London, to the west and to the south. But the “W” courses, including West Hill, Woking and Worplesdon, are equally renowned and offer the same quality of play and the same authenticity. The hundred-year-old Berkshire and Surrey are exceptional symbols of the English courses created by legendary architects.
