Michael,
All you need is a sympathetic client and an equally sympathetic membership.
Also, the more remote the location, the better. High Pointe's slower greens didn't work because a lot of the players were coming from a Jack Nicklaus course with fast greens just down the road, and they couldn't adjust.
However, the green speeds in Bandon vary with the seasons, and not too many people complain about it. (Sadly, quite a few do.)
Somehow they have still managed not to care much about green speeds in Scotland and Ireland. But here in the USA, it is definitely a losing battle to build greens for a Stimpmeter speed of 8. Trust me, I've fought it.
