Remedy Oak

Remedy Oak: this wonderfully natural championship course is quietly tucked away in 256 acres of ancient woodland on the edge of the New Forest. Expansively 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 John Jacobs, renowned golfer, writer and swing "doctor", this excellent tree-lined parkland course measures over 7,000 yards from the back tees. The flowing layout weaves its way through majestic conifer-lined avenues, with water coming into play on eight holes. The snaking par-5 2nd and short par-4 8th are both awesome risk-reward holes, with water hazards fiercely defending both.

There's plenty of golfing challenge in this well-crafted modern design, with gentle elevation changes on many holes ... it's not a tiring course to walk. An absence of roads and housing ensures your quiet enjoyment of this Jacob's designed gem, while first-rate presentation also contributes to the appeal of Remedy Oak.

The layout rolls through the quiet woodland in three loops. The short uphill par-4 6th, delightful par-3 9th and kooky par-4 18th all bring you back to the attractive cabin-style, single-storey clubhouse. The 9th and 18th greens sit just below the clubhouse terrace.

It's worth noting that the Remedy Oak course plays best as a "summer" course. With a clay soil base, the course can get quite soggy during winter and after prolonged wet weather.
