  I don't mind headwind, I just want equal terms.

  Hi

  Not that bad for hole 10 and 12. Hole 11 can be tricky with that amount of tailwind.

  I think the problems starts at hole 13 with a lot of tailwind and the pin location to the right. And hole 14 and 17 can also be very hard with a 30 headwind.

  But is just my thoughts.

  Just played Best of Par 5 Back RG from the tips, and in 7 or 8 holes out of 9 there was a strong headwind.....

  COME ON, WGT.

  If you can not make the wind to be the same for all participants, as would be the best solution, at least make the wind pseudorandom, not random - meaning that the sum of winds for all holes adds up to 0. It's really not hard to implement, every good second year computer science student would be able to do that...
