Great holes , poor condition

The course has many interesting holes. There is often quite a lot of distance between the greens and the next tee, so I used a buggy, which adds to the cost.
On previous visits I felt the green fee and the buggy cost was justified by the golfing experience, but not this time.
On this occasion, I was disappointed with the condition of the greens and the fairways. A number of fairways had damage, I presume from rabbits, and whilst some damage was being dealt with, in other places no action had been taken. There were no notices in the club house about the problem, and the resort did not give any response to my email raising these concerns.

I also raised with the resort the placing of the flags on the greens, which are supposed to be in accordance with a system ( A,B,C,D ), but seemed to be entirely random. Again no response was received.
