As a whole in Good Condition for the time of year (01.02.2025)

Overall the course was fairly dry and most fairways and roughs were in good conditions. The ball did run a bit which was good to see. The greens were fine but most were very firm and some had bare mud in parts.

Very slow - seems people just jump on

Unfortunately didn’t get time for a full 18 after teeing off at 11.52 before we had to leave as light was getting low.

There were 2 other separate groups on the first tee waiting to tee off at 11.50 which meant we teed off late then with at least 3 other groups queuing behind us.

Had to wait on every tee box for group in front to tee off then had one or two behind waiting for us on every tee.

Not great

Very poor

Very poor course which is not the fault of whoever owns/runs it it’s the fault of mindless vandles who keep ruining the greens with motorbikes think it’s time to close because the council won’t invest to stop the vandalism not fair on the members or fee paying guests

First Time Playing

Good value. Bad greens.

First time playing at Kilton Forest. Nice wide fairways on every hole so very well suited to me as a high handicap golfer. Unfortunately the greens were easily the worst I've putted on, they needed cutting and rolling. They were muddy and looked like they had just been brushed as the mud was spread in lines. I understand the weather hasn't been great but they shouldn't be as bad as they were. The practice area is OK but no flags in any of the holes on the practice green was a bit shoddy. All that being said I really enjoyed the round and I'm sure the greens will be better moving into next spring/summer. £15 on a hot deal and a tenner each for me and my mate for a buggy. £25 all in is excellent value. I would return.

Friendliest place around . Great people

Kilton is a great little course to play . Challenging but very fair.

Of course the real strength, is due to the ground make up,it always plays well whatever the weather . Not pristine fairways but always off grass tees and rarely see temps

Really important though:

Despite not being members we are always made to feel welcome by everyone . Great staff wherever you are who seem genuinely pleased to see you and friendly members too. .

The Greens

This course is local to me and although I'm not a member I do play it regularly. The thing that puts me off becoming a member is the state of the greens, when I played on the 22nd I was informed that their mower is broken and therefore they haven't been able to cut the greens, combine this with the amount of worm soil on the surface it made putting a complete lottery, such a shame!

Cheap round of golf on a well maintained course.

Tees , greens need some improvement but overall ok.

Fairways are as good as some top courses and are well kept.

Bunkers need raking more frequently and a rake left in them would be good.

If you are on a budget or just want to stretch your legs then Kilton is ideal.

Good for money

Considering it was £16 for 18 holes wasn’t expecting much, but good value really, ok bunkers could have done with some sand and some of greens weren’t the greatest but all say and done would revisit
