Measuring 6,565 metres from the back tees, the course plays to a par of 72 (36 out then 36 in). Highlights holes include the short par four 2nd; the first of the par threes at the 191-metre 5th; and the left doglegging par five 6th which is rated stroke index 1.
On the back nine, the right veering par five 14th is eminently birdieable (despite cross bunkers guarding the front of the green) but the par four 18th is a lot tougher, with trees to the left and water to the right as the fairway swings left to the home green.
Every year, the main event at the club is the Innoprom Golf Challenge international tournament, held with the support of the Russian Ministry of industry and trade and the government of the Sverdlovsk region.
