So I took the yardage of my course (6195) and converted it into kilometers. Turns out it was 5.6 per round which doesn't include the walking between holes and the distance to and from the vehicle to the proshop. Before I did the calculations I deducted from my total the 6 rounds I played in Minnesota where I used a power cart. That course was not walkable. The final number was 347 kilometers which surprised me.
I'm 67 years old and want to stave off the health effects of growing old as long as possible.

That 5.6km sounds awfully low. I wear my Apple watch and walk almost every round, and the distance seems to be more like 11km. I realise that you're just estimating, but I'd say that you're close to 650km than you might think!
