Littlestone attracts a high standard of golfers - the average handicap of its membership is a good indicator.  But a few years ago it was graced by "the worst golfer ever to play in The Open"!

When filmmakers needed a course to shoot "The Phantom Of The Open" - the true story of hapless novice Maurice Flitcroft who somehow found himself among those trying to qualify for the Open Championship, they chose Littlestone.

It may not be as famous as some other Kent courses such as Royal St George's and Princes - which really have staged The Open, but like them, it's a true test of links golf.
