Remedy Oak
Remedy Oak Golf Course: this wonderfully natural course is set amongst 256 acres of ancient woodland in Horton, Dorset. Meandering through a backdrop of hardwood trees, mature pines, rhododendrons, heather and wild grasses, the course abounds with the natural beauty and tranquility of its surroundings.
Crafted by the renowned John Jacobs, this excellent tree-lined heathland course measures over 7,000 yards from the back tees. Water comes into play on eight holes, as the flowing layout weaves its way through majestic conifer-lined avenues.
There's plenty of golfing challenge in this well-crafted modern design, with usually excellent upkeep also contributing to the appeal of the course. An absence of roads and housing further enhances your quiet enjoyment of this Jacob's designed gem.

The ancient woodland on which Remedy Oak is laid out has a rich history dating back many centuries. The club's crest contains four elements: a crown, a deer, an oak tree and crossed golf clubs. The Crown – refers to Edward VI (1537-53), the Boy King, who used to visit this location, to stay with Henry Hastings, the squire of the manor. The Deer – the King and the squire would hunt deer over neighbouring Cranborne Chase.
The Oak Tree – at Woodlands, on the corner of the road leading to the golf club, stands the Remedy Oak tree. Here, Edward VI healed people of “King's Evil” or scurvy; the King was believed to have a divine touch in those days. The Crossed Golf Clubs – representing the Club itself, home to a course crafted by renowned golfer, golf instructor, writer and course designer John Jacobs in 2006.
England's 100th best course (Golf World, 2023).
The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
