Our take

Alister MacKenzie drew up improvements at Littlestone before he ever built Augusta, and this quiet links between Romney Marsh and the Channel still carries his fingerprints.

• Serious golfersThe pedigree runs deeper than the profile: MacKenzie's 1924 revisions, Braid's bunkering and championship golf dating back to 1894. The wind here rarely rests, so bring a knock-down shot and expect a proper examination.
• Higher handicapsDitches and water cut across this links far more often than you would expect from seaside golf, and the wind hardly ever rests; play the forward tees and keep the ball down or the card will suffer.
• Buddy tripsA proper seaside test away from the crowds, ideal for a group wanting real linksland golf without the fuss, and the near-constant breeze has a way of levelling matches between mixed handicaps.
