The course measures 5,726 meters from the white tees, 5,400 from yellow, and 4,693 from red tees, with a slope of 125 for white, 123 for yellow, and 119 for red. The course features a significant variation in difficulty between holes, with easier holes such as 1, 2, 9, and 17, while holes 6, 7, 8, and 18 present greater challenges, allowing golfers to recover in some holes what they lose in others. The course occupies more than 65 acres with multiple facilities, lakes and forests. The 18-hole course is situated on the grounds of a beautiful farm with oak trees, holm oaks and native vegetation, and is technically demanding. The course features a new 48,000 m3 lake, and the range has 10 bays, as well as a putting green and a practice bunker. The Bestswing golf school operates at the course with professionals such as Luís Ivañez and Carlos Beesmans. The club offers comprehensive facilities including a restaurant, changing rooms, a club room, golf cart and car rental service, and a proshop.
