Superb venue and facility
Held Open Qualifying and has some of the best greens I have seen all year. Some brilliant holes with some of the best golf architects combining to create a superb venue. Customer service was brilliant and I will definitely return. Don't forget the smaller but equally testing course next door. Both are gems!Reviewer Rating

I'm a big fan of this location (with the adjoining Littlestone Warren) and having played again since my first visit was keen to see what others thought here on Golfshake. Personally I've had no problems with members or the club so felt it needed another review to reset the balance a little. This is a traditional members club and therefore it won't be as flexible as some and at the end of the day you are a visitor so do have fit in a little.
For my first round here I just turned up at 7.30am one morning and despite being told that visitors couldn't usually tee off until later I was allowed to play with little hesitation. On my next visit I warmed up 'next door' and then headed over hoping to play at Littlestone on a Twilight Round after 2pm. Apart from verbally checking on my H/C I was given access and tee'd off within 20 mins. The staff were perfectly friendly and approachable.
I agree with other reviews I've seen elsewhere that this could be described as a beginners links course. Whilst this may be partly true its not without teeth and though some fairways are wider and bunkers not as deep that only really takes away from the visuals. This is still a proper test of golf and has some great holes (most of the par 3's) and then in particular the closing 3 holes back into the wind make for a great finish especially if you are chasing a good score. Also it wouldn't have been chosen as a Open Qualifying Course if it wasn't up to scratch.
My only gripe is that I think its relatively expensive for its status at £65 a round during the week and £80 at weekends. But then again the next best courses of this type in this location are at Deal and Sandwich and yes there are clearly a step up the green fees almost double. The adjoining course is a lot shorter and less refined but a lot more accessible and with small greens is a reasonable test of golf also. And at around £16 a round is a bargain.

A true links gem!
Unassuming historic links course with effortlessly memorable holes. A wonderful flowing layout eminates the true essence of links golf. A must for links lovers!(Round played: Apr 2019 - Score: 92 Handicap: 13.4)

Played here last week and I must admit I’ve a bit confused as to all the rave reviews. It’s a links course, that much I get but I found the holes to be pretty run of the mill. I will admit I’m not a fan of links courses but found that there is much better value for money in playing at say somewhere like Cooden. Greens were very very good but the fairways and rough was all just a bit tatty for my liking. Obviously we couldn’t use the clubhouse so can’t really comment on that, but it does seem like an old fashioned course with silly old fashioned rules (white socks must be worn, and not trainer ones) an out dated pointless club rule especially when you see plenty of players flouting the rule.
The high green fee seems to be there to put everyday golfers of playing there and when there are courses like Sene Valley, Etchinghill, Dale Hill and Kings Hill all within the same distance drive for me And offering a round for almost half the price I’m glad I am priced out of playing here.
I will say a massive positive was the welcome from the pro at Littlestone. Pretty sure his name was James. Really welcoming and an asset to the club. If only more pros were like him.

Delightful links
Think links golf - think Kent! This absolute gem is up there with the best of them - it's beauifully maintained and well laid out. It's challenging, yet playable - though, like a true links, each hole plays differently with a change in the wind. Littlestone comes with a charming clubhouse and shorter 18 (The Warren) if you fancy a warm-up round. Put it on your 'must play' list!Reviewer Rating

Excellent links course with exceptional greens. Highlight is the par 3 17th played from an elevated tee by the sea.
