Founded in 1888, Littlestone is a Championship Links Course laid out on the natural undulating land between the famous Romney Marsh and the English Channel in the South East corner of Kent. The coastline enjoys a unique micro-climate which makes it one of the driest places in Britain. The course is presented in superb condition throughout the year and temporary tees and greens are unheard of.
The Club is proud of being chosen as a Final Qualifying venue for the 2011 Open and a very recent report by the R & A Agronomist states that the greens at Littlestone are 'magnificent and.. some of the best examples of firm, true and well paced putting greens in the UK'.
Littlestone Golf Club is a traditional two-ball club with four-ball play by visitors on Wednesdays. All Visitors are Members for the day and as such can play from the Medal Tees, enjoy the exceptional practice facilities and the relaxed, friendly ambience of the Clubhouse.
