The course features trees and shrubs of varying sizes and areas of rough ground. There is an extensive path network available, three large ponds and some streams (you must use bridges to cross). The long course will take in the adjacent area of Torvean Park which is reached by underpath (compulsory crossing). Torvean Park is a mixture of open grass and mature trees around the edges.
