It's a tale of 2 9's. The front is links style and the back is target. Well maintained, beautiful scenary. Premium placed on course management and ball striking

1) We seemed to be penalised for being a GolfNow client. We arrived early and had lunch overlooking the 1st tee and saw that nobody teed off for at least 45 minutes. We asked the starter to tee off early and were refused. They made us wait for half an hour and then jammed 3 foursomes back to back to back - why?
2) There were no marshals anywhere; we had to frequently wait on the group in front of us.
3) Winter kill on many greens had not recovered yet. Very rough and bumpy! Reminded me of the ‘Plinko’ game.
4) Several poor hole placements which were placed in the most damaged sections of greens.

In my opinion it is extremely overpriced for the poor conditions of the greens; the couple playing with us was given $5 off their full-price green fee as compensation for the poor green conditions. Fairmont seems to have short term thinking and focusing on their cash flow.
Instead, they should find a better balance and provide their customers with an excellent experience - for repeat business and word of mouth advertising!
