Golf Course Review
Remedy Oak Golf Club is a forest golf course built on 256 acres of ancient woodland in Horton, near Wimborne, Dorset. John Jacobs, assisted greatly by Jonathan Gaunt, built the 18-hole, par 72, 7010-yard golf course in 2006. As expected, water comes into play on 8 of 18 holes.

With membership limited to just 400 and their invited guests, the course is proud to declare itself a 5-star venue that is prestigious, unique, and exclusive. The R&A and the Top 100 Rankings are in agreement – using it for Regional Open Qualifying and awarding it a place in a few of the Top 100 Lists.
