The course plays up to 6,754 yards, and features a combination of bent grass tees and greens with bluegrass fairways. Kidwell’s design brings water hazards into play on more than half of the course’s 18 holes, and showcases a total of 20 white sand bunkers. Several fairways are lined with mature trees.
