Kilton Forest Golf Club

First time at the course and was very impressed how it played considering recent weather most of our local courses aren't even open. Will definitely be back

Saw a weekend deal that was to good to miss- plus our home course only has 13 holes available,

Special mention to Rob in the pro-shop, extremely helpful and friendly.

The course is challenging with many different approaches, Only 1 magnet- I mean water hazard and we managed to keep the same balls throughout the game- none were donated to the course.

Again the course was firm and consequently provided some carry- hence closer to the green lol.

There was only 1 temp in use so for this time of year that was very good.and the greens were great for this time of year- still having some pace to them helped immensely, even when it started raining.

There were plenty of players on and therefore the pace was only reasonable- many times having to wait until taking a shot every hole and Par 3 2 in the queue.

We have rebooked for the following Sunday for a 3 ball., see how that one goes.

Lots of dog walkers and young kids crossing over many of the holes ,, our T off was 10.07 we Teed off at 10.32 , very over crowded

Course great this time of year bunkers unplayable and new temporary tees badly designed as small and tee pegs directly behind one another you’d fall off the mat using back one

Was a very cold icy day but what a pleasure to walk around. Luckily fairways were wide as the ball ran on and on and on lol. Couple of winter greens to be expected and all on new winter tees. Staff were amazing very friendly and helpful

Absolutely amazing course, wide open fairways, very forgiving for the less good golfers. Greens a little slow due to weather but can't blame course for that.

With our home course closed due to recent heavy rain we looked for a course open to get a round of golf.

A very warm & friendly welcome in the Pro Shop. A cup of coffee in the clubhouse then onto the course.

Surprisingly, after recent heavy rain, the course was dry & played well. The course is quite forgiving with wide fairways.

We got around the course easily with no hold ups or slow play.

The only downside was when we went in the clubhouse after golf the coffee machine had been turned off & there was no fresh milk to make an instant coffee. A small hiccup which did not spoil our enjoyable experience,

We found Kilton Forest good value for money

No starter ensuring space between groups. Pace of play was terrible. Waiting 10 mins on every hole. Shambolic. Left after 13 holes which had taken nearly 4 hours.

Kilton is not seen as one of the higher level courses in our area, but then winter comes and all of a sudden those people who did not give it a moment then realise its one of the best courses in the area during bad weather. The fairways are quite long grass but more lush than unkempt, the greens are fine and in some places you will find the odd bobble but its a 15 or 20 quid course with limited staff, what can you honestly expect? The course has some solid par 4s and par 5s which are not easy to reach even for long hitters in the winter weather. The course is quite open and hole 11 can be affected by flooding but only meaning a shorter green. The staff are really helpful and friendly, the food is excellent. I would be surprised if you can find a better value course which is fully open in the area. The best winter course by a mile is College Pines GC but thats 32 quid and packed out in winter. Do not dismiss Kilton if you live locally, it will surprise you and if you want a round in the bad weather this course is solid.

Challenging course, some long holes when the wind is blowing.

Fairways and greens were a little shaggy and running very slow. Must have had a lot of rain recently.

Greens have many worm castings all over the place. I did see a sign that said the grounds crew has applied insecticide so hopefully it works. Hired a buggy with my OAP father-in-law. We needed it to keep the pace of play, 3h 20m. A couple guys behind us were on our heels almost the whole back 9.

Very good course with some tricky holes. Quite a few long par 4s so driver and 3 wood got a lot of use. It's essential to stay in the fairways as the rough is very unforgiving as it should. £15 for early tee time made the experience even better

Friendly staff, good course layout and good value for money.

This is the 2nd time I’ve played and both times the pace of play has been slow.

The course could do with a bit of TLC, the grass is too long when just off the fairway and the tee boxes need a tidy.

Overall, would play again for the money.

Really Good course and not as easy as slope index suggests very well maintained and good value for money
