Pros:
This is a pretty good practice area as long as you approach it with the right mindset. Think of it as a place to do field work with the addition of a few baskets.
The best part is that you now have a target for field work, instead of just throwing. There is enough space for most players to throw their best drives, and work on accuracy and distance at the same time.
I loved it because there are locations where you can stand with your bag and see baskets at different distances away, allowing me to throw drivers at one, mids at another, etc.
After a dozen trips back and forth across the field, I returned to my car(which by the way, can be parked about ten feet from the field) and hit the putting green. It's fantastic to be able to work on drives and putts in the same location.
It's also a really nice area, with nice grass that you will be comfortable throwing barefoot in.

Cons:
It is just a bunch of baskets in an open field. Since there are no tees, or even an order of baskets, there is no way to play it as a course other than safari. But this isn't labeled a course, it's labeled a practice area. As such it has only two faults.
1. For 450+ throwers, there won't be enough space for you to fully air out drives.
2. The baskets are too low, and only one is usable for putting practice, and even that one is less than ideal.

Other Thoughts:
This worked for me as it was not far out of the way and I would have otherwise hit the local soccer field when I got home. This was much better. I wouldn't recommend traveling to get here but if you live in the area or are temporarily in the vicinity, it's a great place to do some solid form work. If I lived by there, I'd use it on a regular basis.

Pros:
There is no chance of losing your disc at this course!! Great for practicing your technique for all your throws.
Cons:
This is just a grassy square in the middle of a development. Only one sign that was in the correct location, another sign was laying on the ground and other then that, no other sign can be found.

Pros:
This is great for the neighborhood player that doesn't want to fight the traffic to make it out to UCF, barrnet, or even f burton, but wants to throw some before or after whatever
Cons:
wins no awards for anything. open field with nine baskets
Other Thoughts:
Is kinda sad to see baskets go to waste when i wish i could get some for my park.
