Pros:
This is a long course built on an old ball golf property. Mature trees define some fairways nicely in order to provide an easier line for left-to-right or right-to-left throws, although other options are usually available. On some holes there are only one or two trees that come into play, but the design still requires putting some thought into the shot. For people that like a pure distance challenge, this is a great place for it; there are a couple of holes where there is no other interesting feature other than distance.
There are multiple basket placements on every hole, with one set of really high quality baskets. The teepads are also excellent, with hole number and fault line indicated in the concrete.
The parks dept does a great job mowing this course. The fairways are closely mowed, and there is a lot of "no-mow" area bordering fairways throughout the course. You could call it "rough" I suppose, but it's not really thick, and doesn't really present much of a problem with lost discs. If the "no-mow" is played as OB, this course becomes MUCH more interesting, requiring careful shot placement in addition to distance. In spring, there is sharply contrasting yellow color in the "no-mow" area, which makes it easy to identify OB lines during casual play (some lines might need to be marked for tourney play).

Cons
The park is really flat, and too wide open for my preference. For a course built on an island in the Mississippi, it is a little surprising that water hazards weren't included in the layout. Water doesn't come into play at all unless you have a really bad throw on one hole (hole 9 or 10?). Although there are opportunities to use a lot of different shots, the layout doesn't really require them. It is a single loop course, and it's a pretty long walk to get back to the vehicle for resupply, so if you're out there on a hot sunny day you better stock up on fluids. No restrooms or drinking water on the course.
Other Thoughts:
If this course is played along with one of several more hilly and wooded QC area courses, it makes a nice balance. It is not my favorite style of course, I prefer wooded and technical, but I think big arm players might like playing here to gain an advantage.
