Mountainside Golf Course

One of my favorite golf courses. Be sure to aim for the up side of the hill!

This course may offer less variety of terrain and sights perhaps than the Riverside course but is quite beautiful and in great shape in its own right. Played it three times recently in September and early October and it wasn’t overly busy which allowed for a relatively relaxing round. Generally the staff are very accommodating and friendly. On the back nine of the second round I played we were asked to pick up the pace by the course Marshall. We weren’t playing particularly slow but there were a few groups behind us so I was okay with him asking us to pick it up a bit as they have their job to do, but then he followed us closely for the next three holes by which time we were well ahead of the trailing groups so it felt like unnecessary harassment. He finally left us alone when one of our group asked him if he was going to follow us all the way in and he finally decided to leave us alone. Aside from this incident I have enjoyed the course and will continue to play it.

Beautiful, inexpensive golf course on the side of the mountain in Fairmont. Absolutely worth a play if you're staying in the valley with a set of clubs.

This is a fun and friendly course that's been at Fairmont since the early days of the resort. Full length, with a few tricky holes that are particularly unique and challenging. I've played here for decades and it is still evolving and improving. My only minor complaint this time is the 85000 gophers and gopher holes, mainly on the south end.
