Other Thoughts:
-I wouldn't drive more than 30 minutes to go to this course.
-Great for a quick 9 holes
-It's nice to consistantly not have to worry about other players/people at the park
-As of late summer 2012, it appears as if the park is beginning to clean up and clear out some thicket in the holes in the woods which is very nice to see

Other Thoughts:
Brand new course, the Centerville Mills Park website indicates it was built by a local Boy Scout Troop.
In general, this is a decent course with some of my favorite things about a disc golf course: seclusion and scenery. The course stays away from the rest of the park activities in general, only for hole #1 and #8 and #9 will you veer near any others, and when I was there there wasn't anyone around. Those holes are near the parking lot and some basketball courts.
The course layout is decent if uninspired. There's nothing in the way of any "epic" or "signature" holes here. I'd call this a casual local course, but some of the holes are far too challenging to be considered casual.
Hole #3 in particular needs to be rethought, as the fairway follows a straight, narrow course that is bordered by a wire fence with overgrown plant life on the right. Accessing an errant disc is a major, unnecessary pain. I skipped this hole because of that.
Also, the tee for Hole #4 I never found. I forgot to snap a photo of the rough course map at the main park kiosk. For the most part, the other tee signs and baskets are easily enough found, with wooden arrow signs for tees that aren't in sight of the previous basket (tees 7 & 9).
Holes 2-7 for the most part take you into fairly densely wooded areas. These are a bit of a challenge, mostly for novice players though. Very little in the way of big arm holes, if at all. Being a new course, the trails from basket to tee are still a bit unmarked/untravelled but I'm sure that will change over time.
Course is in a nice, clean, and active community park. I didn't see any water fountains but didn't look closely. Park has some other amenities for non-discers.
Overall, a decent 9-hole course especially if you live in the immediate area as your options are slim. Not much in the way of a "destination course" though. Despite the cons mentioned above, I still give the Boy Scout troop a big thumbs up for building this course.
