The course consists of A-4 bent grass greens, bent grass trees and fairways and bluegrass/rye roughs. In 2005, the front nine of the golf course underwent a major renovation by well-known and respected golf course architect Kevin Atkinson. The renovation included hole redesigns, bunker updates and green complexes. In 2018, the club completed a 1.8-million-dollar renovation of its back nine including new water features, rock walls, a complete re-design of six holes and 18-hole bunker renovations using the "Better Billy Bunker System" with white angular sand.
