The club features an 18-hole course spanning 7,202 yards, renowned for its challenging narrow fairways and a particularly demanding 7th hole - a dogleg measuring an impressive 613 yards. Notably, the first nine holes are equipped with floodlighting. The course was designed by four-time Open Championship winner, Peter Thomson (golfer).
