FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing Olde Kinderhook and what to expect.
Players often find Olde Kinderhook technically exacting. The slope of 148.0 places it firmly in the upper difficulty tier. The course rating of 76.4 reflects on scoring relative to par 72.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 6982 yards. The back tees extend to 7292.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 76.4 and par 72, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 72 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
At a full length of 7292.0 yards, it demands long-iron precision and endurance over 18 holes.
Architecturally, it reflects a Parkland style. Overall, the setup will reward players who place the ball in safe positions far from hazards. Also, type of shot is more crucial rather than just trying to gain distance.
The combination of a slope rating of 148.0 and yardage reaching 7292.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
