The three-building clubhouse complex opened in late summer 1997, more than six years after the course itself. One part of the complex houses the pro shop, another a restaurant and the third a tournament pavilion to accommodate large groups.

The satellite-connected system also allows club personnel to monitor where each group is on the course and send messages to individual carts.
