Each hole offers four sets of tees with Kentucky bluegrass fairways, Scottish-style fescue roughs, and sculpted creeping bentgrass greens and tees. The course presents a challenging layout for golfers of varying skill levels. Notable amenities include a 400-yard driving range with a bentgrass tee box opened in spring 2023, a mountain lodge-style clubhouse, a pavilion accommodating up to 200 people, and 72 GPS-equipped golf carts.
