Our Story

Set amongst the rolling hills of rural England with views of the Atlantic, and just a few miles from the quintessentially British village of Oakhampton St Mary, sits the secluded and multi-award winning The Devil’s Back golf club.A deliberately exclusive club, so named because of its hidden and almost mythical location away from prying eyes and with a membership originally formed by some of the most prominent, but private, ladies and gentlemen in Britain - it is one of the most sort after memberships of the modern era.Created on the site an old Manor House and its linked heathland, previously owned by the flamboyant 6th Earl of Hamblewick, Thomas Flane. This was, and still is, a membership that was as much about ones standing in society as it was to join this beautifully curated and maintained club, there are tales still told of extravagant parties with attendance from European Royalty, long term residences from scoundrels evading the law and the creation of some of the most iconic (and potent) cocktails.
