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.

My Strava running app actually tracks my golf rounds via integration with my Garmin watch and our course is right around 9km per round; sometimes 8.97, or 9.02, 9.03 etc.
A walkable, tight course. Close tee boxes, no extra long walks other than the golf. So likely pretty similar to your course.
