I have played it several times and I'm sure Mark Chaplin can opine well on it.. Terrific view of France, is a downland course that is an average James Braid layout. A good friend's house overlooks part of the course but then again, you can see the land of napolean from his 2nd floor guest room as well. That being said, in my humble opinion having visited Deal 50 times, is spend your money on Deal and Sandwich first unless you plan to frequent the area, and after those two, drive to Littlestone or Rye before playing Walmer. I'd add a drive to West Sussex too before paying the freight at Walmer. Its a fine course, just there are much better to see.
