Littlestone is a gem and we enjoyed playing it. The back nine is really interesting and a solid test of golf on every level However, the hot summer got the best of the fairways so they were in pretty rough shape. But that didn't stop us from enjoying our round. If you are in the area, don't miss it. Would like to play again when fairways are in better shape. (We spoke to some of the grounds crew who explained the reason the fairways were not so healthy. Wish the pro shop staff had let us know and explained before we teed off--would have helped. But the grounds crew were so proud of their course and thrilled we came all the way from US to play which made us feel better about the day.)

Good links course but was expecting a tougher test in the bunkers and some more undulations on the greens for a true links test. Back 9 was the better 9 for me.
