The course was designed by Mike Fagerstrom in 2014. "The back 9 combines steep elevation with technical fairways through the woods." There is a course map in the kiosk by the first hole.
There are two 18 hole courses located here, Green for the Amateurs and Orange for the Professionals. Each has their own tee pad and basket, per hole. Professionals go orange teepad to orange basket and Amateurs go green teepad to green basket.
