Pros:
Amazing baskets. If every course had these, no one would complain.
The layout makes pretty good use of the elevation.
Decent scenery.
Some really fun woods holes with interesting shots to consider.
Only way you would likely lose a disc here is if you overcooked one on one of the last couple holes and threw it in the river. Most of the course your disc is safe.
Any golfer I asked for guidance about tee locations was happy to help.

Cons:
The first two holes are the hardest on the course. Starting out with two Par 4s is not a good idea IMHO. Especially when neither one really has what I would call a fairway. Creating actual fairways on these first two holes would help this course immensely.
Terrible flow. Big hikes between several holes made worse by the worst aspect of this course:
BAD to NO SIGNAGE!!! So many times I would be scratching my head trying to figure out where the next box could be.
Fell off one of the tee pads twice. Slippery pads that I bet would be rough in any kind of wet weather.
Garbage, garbage, everywhere. To the point where my Dad was hypothesizing that the course is located at an old dump. IF those hills are really built on garbage, hmmm...
Tough, tough course for small arms and beginners like my Dad.
Even intermediate players will likely struggle a bit from even from the short tees.
Several times that I smelled some funky aromas. Kind of like garbage. Hmm.
Sketchy park with one homeless camp sighted back in the woods as well as lots of people gathered in the park, homeless or not, with Covid-19 going on. Saw a few sketchy characters roll by, one of them with a sweet whip and 20-inch spinners who drove on the wrong side of the road to avoid my dad's errant toss. Wherever you are dude, thanks for being cool!

Other Thoughts:
This course could be nice if it weren't for the smells, poor flow and lack of signage. Could be fun on the right day with the right crew I suppose, but I won't be back soon with so many other jewels to explore in Des Moines' disc golf crown.
PLEASE, PLEASE CREATE REAL FAIRWAYS ON ONE AND TWO.
