The layout features an inland forest setting with characteristic elevated greens and strategically positioned bunkers throughout.

Beyond the main 18-hole course, the facility offers a 9-hole option (Ti'Parcours) for shorter rounds. The club hosts competitions and maintains an active membership program. Additional amenities include a practice area, pro-shop, restaurant, and facilities for seminars, corporate events, and private celebrations, making it a comprehensive golf destination.
