Pros:
With two or more basket positions and two well-marked tees per hole, and built in an upscale park around a pond and some light woods for the front nine, and buffalo grass fields for the back nine, the Dr. James A Dillon disc golf course feels every inch like a ball golf country club. The one time I've played it, I even saw some local disc golfers out there using an electric golf cart. Felt like maybe I should go home and put on a polo shirt. Seriously, though, the course is beautiful, and well maintained. I met one of the guys who helps with this (Hi Matt! He's a dgcr member, too!) and he was positive, encouraging, and working even that day in November.
Hole distances range from 174 to 457 feet, with the short tees making for a fun casual round for the mid-level player, and the longs (and long basket positions) probably causing consternation amongst those of us below Advanced skill levels. Three of the holes put the pond nearby on the right, while there are a couple of creekside holes with woods to force a left to right approach, plus a couple more holes on the back nine with a surprise creek along the left rough, just off the fairway. So challenges range from water hazards, to light to moderate woods, to tall grasses just off the fairway in the summer months.
Excellent signage at the short tees (with bag hooks), baskets (including a full extra practice hole, fairway and all), trash baskets, benches, parking & shelter, and seasonal bathrooms all support the dedicated DG space, only sharing a little with a walking path that mostly borders the perimeter of half the course. The flow of the course is really nice, when playing long tees to long basket positions (leaving some walks from short to short, unfortunately, and there is a stroll from 9 to 10 on the other side of the pavilion shelter).
Cons:
One flow issue: from the fifth basket, you will need to walk back pretty much across the second green to reach the tees for hole 6.
The lack of elevation is a common malady for all central Indiana courses, so they've added just a few rolling knolls and sought opportunities to use the few feet of rise or fall that was available. There will be windy days on a course like this, which you might consider a con or a challenge, depending on your game. The guys with really big arms won't find much challenge from the short tees, and could even score really low on the longs, so I suspect the top Advanced, and particularly competitive Open players don't get to see much score separation here based on their skills.
For first timers who come to play the long tees: they don't have above ground signage (only at the shorts), but they have painted the hole distances in blue at the back of the tee pad.
Finally, the course is excellent as intended, but tends to be a little open, for its intermediate distances. Makes me wonder if they might consider future use of the woods beyond holes 7 & 8 someday to add a little more technical challenge.
Other Thoughts:
You'll encounter a sign at the first tee (as you look at the pondside basket) that cautions folks not to go in to retrieve your splashdown discs. They will fish them out for you, call on any info on the disc, and even ship yours to you for $1.85 (cheaper than I've found any way to mail 'em!).
Reviewer Background as of this writing: age 54 w/ 4 yrs experience, rated 900+/-, played 244+ courses in 23 states, 80% w/in 3hr drive of Cincinnati. Thrown with folks rated 600's to 1000's, ages 9 to 85 in events and leagues at all tiers. Seldom drive beyond 300-330, but have a solid up-shot and putting game. I haven't designed any courses, but try to lend a hand (with my severely desk-job limited skill set) when I can.
