Littlestone is a gem of a golf club, lying on the stunning coastline of the English Channel, at the heart of Kent's golfing paradise. The club is set on the edge on Romney marsh and the 16th Tee is only a 100 yards from the beach. The Club is renowned for its outstanding greens, Littlestone has previously been chosen to host final qualifying for the Open Championship as well as other major golf events through the years.
Golf has been played at Littlestone since 1888 but the course was damaged during the war and the club contacted well-regarded golf course architect Alister MacKenzie to assist with the rebuild in 1924. The Warren Course provides a great second course which although shorter is still a great links layout.
The course was being updated in terms of the fairways, and we had to use mats, which was not ideal! apart from that we enjoyed the course, and the greens.
Requires more signage on the course to help the first time golfer there to get round the course
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.
