Other Thoughts:
The course is very open, so the challenge comes not from trees and tight fairways, but from elevation changes and the fact that the golf greens and traps are OB. There's not a lot of shot-shaping, though there is a good amount of variety in the holes. The front nine is short tee to red basket, and the back nine is back tee to blue basket. The back nine is significantly longer than the front. OB golf greens come into play on twelve of the holes.
If you play on a weekday, it's unlikely to be crowded, and then it's convenient to play both tees so that you can play all 18 in one loop. With the hills and OB, small mistakes can be costly. On the other hand, if you're throwing with control you can score well.
The golfers I've met have all been friendly and curious about disc golf. If you're local (even if you're not, I suppose) who may become a regular, you can join the Elks and get a discount on rounds.
As of today (Nov 17, 2015), the course is still in the early development stages. Mats for tees will soon be installed. Signs have yet to be made and installed. The fee structure may change. My hope is that by next spring it will be a success for all concerned.

Cons:
No on course map of each hole. No score card at clubhouse, be sure to print card before playing.
Other Thoughts:
On Golfnow if you see a 18 hole round for $5 it is only good for 9 holes. A glich with Golfnow that the course has brought to there attention many times.
