The golf course design by Max Wexler includes large, man-made lakes that provide attractive water hazards and help to irrigate the course. There are many palm and coconut trees situated along the fairways. A two-story floodlit driving range is also available for those who need to practice.
The design is generally categorized by flat terrain, with huge man-made lakes spread out over the course. These lakes add on to the beauty of the environment and irrigate the greenery. Even though it is aesthetically pleasing, the course punishes wayward shorts that may wind up out-of bounds or worse still, in the water. Bunkers are deliberately placed along landing areas around the green to heavy penalize inaccuracy. Four lakes are being integrated into the course to give the course its own unique identity. The course has more than enough hazards to upset your game. Several holes are lined with different types of palm and coconut trees. The fairways and roughs are turfed with Tifway 419 and the greens are of anted with Tifdwarf. Golf clubhouse facilities include a two-tier, flood-lit driving range and a pro-shop and golfer’s terrace.
