The facility offers rental equipment, practice areas, and a driving range for members. The clubhouse provides restaurants and locker rooms for guests.
The fairways use Zoysia grass that grows quickly and provides a dense surface, while the greens are maintained with Bent grass. This combination changes playing conditions depending on the season and requires adapted shot techniques.
