The golf course is situated in undisturbed, rolling countryside comprising leafy woods and three large, natural lakes that come into play on nine of the eighteen holes. These natural features means that the number of sand bunkers are kept to a minimum and are designed in conjunction with environmentally natural grass swales.
Practice facilities include a 40 tee driving range, short-game areas and a 9-hole short course. The clubhouse is situated in a central high-lying position that commands magnificent views over the majority of the golf holes.
The course is designed to accommodate the new golfing public in Lithuania as well as being able to, when desired, host a major professional tournament with the natural surrounding hills and slopes providing natural spectator viewing areas and easy TV coverage of several holes.
