You are assured of a warm welcome at Littlestone with its two courses, the Championship Links and the Warren.

Located near New Romney, south of Ashford, overlooking the English Channel, the land offers natural links golf. The Championship Links was founded in 1888 at the emergence of the late-Victorian golfing boom. It is a creation of nature shaped by the designs of the course architect William Laidlaw Purves, the first Club Captain, along with the professional David Herd. Other course architects have allowed the course to evolve over its 130 + years. James Braid added key bunkers, Alistair Mackenzie of Augusta and Cypress Point fame, redesigned some holes and greens, including the 17th, in the 1920s. The course we play now remains much the same with the addition of back tees in the 1990s and more recent bunker upgrading by Tom Mackenzie and Martin Ebert.

The design of the finishing three holes lives long in the memory. A challenging par 4 is followed by a delightful par 3 to an elevated green. This hole heads south-west and can require your longest club or a much shorter iron depending on the breeze. The 18th is a par 5 offering the chance of a strong finish to your round. Each of the greens stand slightly raised above the linksland and offer an enticing prospect.
