Remedy Oak Golf Club

Location and setting

The Remedy Oak is an exclusive golf club which was built in 2006. It is one of the best courses in England, and enjoys total tranquility thanks to its remote location, between Verwood and Bounemouth. If you're lucky enough to be invited by a member, don't let the club's difficulty of access put you off; the Remedy Oak walk is worth the trip!

Career

Remedy Oak's 18-hole championship course was designed by renowned course designer John Jacobs. At 7005 yards par 72, this park-like course is renowned not only for its natural beauty and surroundings, with its many leafy trees, mature evergreens, rhododendrons, and stunning water features, but also for its playing qualities. The course offers a selection of four tees, which will satisfy all golfer profiles. Overall, Remedy Oak is a fair and balanced challenge in a beautiful setting, and one that can get tough if you choose to play from the back tees (7010 yards). Its water obstacles are certainly the strong point of the course: they require patience and precision to overcome them.

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).
