The players experience is that of a links-style course. Wetlands impact play on 13 holes, natural grasses compliment the wetlands. A mix of Ponderosa Pines, Aspens, Cottonwoods and Birch blend into the scenery. The player's greatest challenges are "Tees and Threes," meaning accurate driving and careful management of the four par 3s, all measuring over 200 yards from the back tees. White sand, brought in from Emmet, Idaho, fills 60 bunkers on the Gene Bates designed course.
