Fairmont Hot Sprgs (Riverside)
The Fairmont Hot Springs Resort in British Columbia is home to two championship golf courses. The resort's first layout was the Lloyd Wilder designed Mountainside course, which was joined over 20 later in 1998 by the Riverside course, designed by Bill Newis.
The Riverside course is a good quality layout, popular with local golfers. The tree-lined and open parkland course contains a variety of attractive holes and pleasant features, which should provide an enjoyable test of golf at a generally affordable rate. Worth a visit if you are in the area and have some time to spare.
