Pros:
Enger Park DGC plays on the back nine of the ball golf course. This makes the flow very easy to follow for the most part. There's a couple disc golf holes on each ball golf hole generally, with the exception of disc golf holes 14 and 18. Those are the really long bombers that play the length of the ball golf holes.
The course is $10 per player for the round. Golf cart rentals too, as long as it isn't too soggy. Highly recommend these if playing the course.
The baskets are the lime green Prodigy's which seem to be everywhere around the Duluth area. These stick out pretty well and catch alright. One pin position per hole as far as I could tell.
There are no tee signs but they provide you a map/scorecard in the clubhouse when you check in. The map is pretty basic but will get you around with no trouble. I'd recommend using the map on Udisc though. Much easier to follow and takes you directly to the tee.
The tee pads are green turf. These are plenty big enough and all are nice and level and grippy. A couple of the holes had 2 pads. Two or three holes if I recall correctly. Kind of unnecessary as the don't change the angle or really even add that much distance.
The design is solid for a ball golf course. Water comes into play on 3 or 4 holes. The pins are always tucked off to one side of the fairway for the most part. Makes sense being on a ball golf course. Wind can definitely be a factor here. It was ripping for our round today, making things very tricky. Greens and sand traps play as OB. Though they're tough to find on the disc golf layout.
The course was in immaculate shape being on a golf course. Very clean and well maintained.

Cons:
While I'm not the biggest fan of wide open disc golf, only part of that is due to my noodle arm. I think even big arms would get bored by the end of a round here. It definitely starts to feel repetitive by the back nine.
The $10 per player is tied for the highest I've ever payed to play a course (Visionquest being the other), and it's not really worth it more than once as a novelty. Add in the cost of a cart and I could've payed for a season pass at some of my local courses. Not a cheap round, that's for sure.
Playing on the same course as people playing ball golf is very annoying. I know that they think the same about us, but it doesn't change the fact that the two games don't belong on the same course at the same time. If the course is busy, as it was today, expect a LOOONNNGGG round with lots of waiting to tee off. Took us 2 1/2 hours to play one round today.
No benches or trash cans by the tees. It's to be expected, but with some of the long waits I'd recommend at last bringing a stool if you don't want to rent a cart.
You need to call and set up a tee time, which is completely unnecessary since you'll be playing the same hole as ball golfers anyway. To be fair, they seem to realize this and just let us start even though we were 10 to 15 minutes early.

Other Thoughts:
If you haven't ever played disc golf on a ball golf course and really wanted to, this isn't a bad place to do it. I'm glad I decided to play this one. I was going to skip it because it's not my cup of tea. But it was an enjoyable round, until it got clogged up around the 17th hole. If the course isn't busy, that'd be the time to play it. It says on here that it's permanent. If that's the case I'd only play this in the late fall, winter or early spring if I was local. But all in all it's a solid design for what they had to work with, just not the most exciting round you'll ever play.

Pros:
Enger is a full 18 hole course that plays on the back 9 holes of a municipal ball golf course. Most of the holes play on the fairways so most of your throws are huge. There are several 500+ par 4s and a par 5 that's 1100ft uphill. Beautiful course with where you can really unleash your longest drives. Great for rollers too!
Cons:
The tee boxes have not been put it yet. There are blue painted stones marking where to throw from.
Disc golf is only available after 6pm Mon - Thurs and after 2pm Fri, Sat and Sun.
The course follows the same direction as the ball golf course. Since the disc golf course has 2-3 holes in between one hole of ball golf, there can be ball golfers that catch up quickly. They can easily play through at the next hole.

Other Thoughts:
Once the tee boxes go in and the benches/garbage cans and other landscaping is added, Enger Park Disc Golf Course will be one of the best courses in the Midwest. Integrating disc golf with ball golf is a delicate process.
