The club says the course contains ginkgo trees "thousands of years old" (one stands behind the 4th green), a wooden bridge and the remains of a stone quarry, which guards the right side of the driveable par-4 16th and the par-3 17th.

The club's hole guide notes a deer habitat to the right of the 11th fairway, where shorter hitters' drives can finish on a lower level without sight of the green.
The club likens the long par-5 8th to Augusta National's 13th: water in front of a heavily sloped green forces a choice between a third lay-up and going for it in regulation.
The 12th, the longest par 3, has a very deep green in two distinct sections, the front right sloping hard back-to-front and the back falling away from the tee to the left; depending on wind and pin it is played with anything from a mid iron to a driver.
The bunker in front of the 4th green is the deepest on the course, per the club, with a river along the left of the hole.
