Major Risks
Long par-72 test The published white scorecard totals 6,419 yards, with several par 5s and long par 4s that can compound poor tee positioning. Fast-green exposure 18Birdies reports fast green speed and a hard difficulty rating; leave approach shots below the hole where possible. Variable daily setup Tee markers and maintenance can change effective yardage; confirm the day’s card and local conditions before committing to lines.
Blue Tee Strategy
Confirm the tee markers and current scorecard before play; the accessible published card is for white tees. Favor fairway width and a repeatable start line on the long par 4s. Treat par 5s 2, 7, 10 and 14 as position-first holes unless conditions and lie make an aggressive line clearly worthwhile. Allow for fast greens reported by 18Birdies and keep approaches below the hole. Use the putting and chipping area to calibrate speed before the round. Kilton Forest tee and positioning plan
