Designed by Architect Les Furber, President of the Canadian Company Golf Design Services Ltd (GDS)
Following the design of the company GDS, the 64.4 hectares of the field have been divided into:

- Ante-Green: 2.0 Ha.
- Tees: 2.0 Ha.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FIELD:
- 18 holes; Par 72; 5 Holes Par 5 and 5 Holes Par 3; the remaining 8 Holes are Par 4.
- 6 269 lineal meters of route between the First Tee or exit and the Green 18. Three golf architecture styles are combined: Classic design, wide streets bounded by trees, wide greens and few protected. Challenging design or "Target Golf", modern style with narrow streets and much protected greens, surrounded by sand traps and lakes. The Varadero Golf Course has several saltwater lakes that communicate directly with the sea, a feature that makes them almost unique in the world. Design of "links, holes located next to the sea, which follow the silhouette of the coast, including the sea as an obstacle in the game.
- The route of the Field by its configuration can be divided into two perfectly differentiated zones. A first round, from 1 to 9 that we can consider slightly easier and the second route from 10 to 18, where the holes stand out for their complexity, 11,15,16,17,18. This allows combining all the technical elements that every golfer desires with the beauty, peace, silence and quality of the route.
