The facility sits in a valley setting characteristic of the Murcian landscape, where the terrain combines rolling hills with views toward surrounding mountains.

The Nicklaus Trail reflects the design principles associated with Jack Nicklaus courses from this era, typically emphasizing strategic bunkering, multiple tee options to accommodate different skill levels, and greens with varied contours. The routing works with the natural topography of the valley, incorporating elevation changes and utilizing the existing landforms. Water features and desert-style landscaping complement the native vegetation of the region.

The facility includes practice areas and clubhouse amenities standard for resort courses in Spain.
