Littlestone Golf Club is a gem of a course, 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 providing the visiting golfer with a scenic walk over great links turf with the 16th tee only 100 yards from the beach. Renowned for its outstanding greens, Littlestone has previously been chosen to host final qualifying for the Open Championship when it was held at Royal St George's as well as other major golf events over the years.

Golf has been played at Littlestone since 1888 but the original design by William Laidlaw Purves, with bunkering added by James Braid, was damaged during the war and the club contacted well-regarded golf course architect Alister MacKenzie to assist with the rebuild in 1924.

Littlestone will certainly give you a good test of your golfing ability and when paired with other Kent courses like Royal St George's, Royal Cinque Ports and Prince's, is a perfect addition to a golf tour of the south-east coastline.

Golf Courses at Littlestone Golf Club

Championship Links

The Championship links course is a stern test and remains in terrific condition year round thanks to the dry weather produced by the local area's micro-climate. With a rich golfing heritage that began over a century ago, Littlestone oozes character and tradition, which is why so many make the journey to the Kent coastline to enjoy some of the finest links golf.

The current layout is the combined effort of three great golf architects. Originally designed by William Laidlaw Purves, James Braid was hired to position strategic bunkers around the course then the club contacted Alister MacKenzie to repair sections of the layout damaged during the war.

The course is littered with fairway pot bunkers and gorse bushes can often be found in amongst the rough. Approaches to greens are mainly bunker free allowing approaches to land short and roll onto the putting surface, a feature of many true links courses.

Littlestone Golf Club is ranked as one of the best courses in the South East and a must play in a Kent coastal Tour.

Guests are required to show an up to date handicap certificate upon arrival.

The naturally rugged layout was extended from 9 holes to 18 in 1993 and is built on the edge of the famous Romney Marsh offering firm, fast fairways amongst natural dunes, terrifying rough and classic links bunkering.
