Pros:
1. The Baskets - great baskets and nice touch having the orange.
2. Location - not only is it an easy place to get to, but having the bonus of the restaurant and other amenities gives a great feel
3. Hole #3 - In my opinion the best hole on the course. There is a great tunnel that you have to shoot through to get a chance at the basket for a 3.
Cons:
It needs a lot of work! Not just in the wooded holes, but half of the holes could stand to be redesigned already.
Hole #1 - Easy open hole 400ish feet, a standard 3 for most everyone.
Hole #2 - Easy open 280ish feet, easy 3 standard 2 for most.
Hole #4 - Easy open 320ish feet, easy 3
Hole #5 - Mando around tree to right and over a creek, then you are caged in by 3 large trees. 350ish feet 3 is most likely what you will get, unless you get in the bushes on the right.
Hole #6 - Pointless! I can understand having an 880 foot hole that is a par 5 of a course that has some obstacles on it, but this is wide open and as long as your disc is going forward you are fine. No risk reward, no mando's, no trees, no nothing. Most will get a 4 many will get a 5 few will get a 6.
Hole #7 - this was a decent hole. 320ish that hugged a tree row. You had to throw a decent anhyzer shot to get it into putting range for a 2.
Hole 8 - another decent hole except for the fences that you have to throw over 20 feet in front of the tee pad. 300ish feet, and should be a standard 3
Hole #9 - some sort of sign is needed to get to the tee. This is probably the best wooded hole 300ish feet. They made great use of some side hill action and they left some good trees to make it more difficult. Standard 3 but could easily see upwards of a 6 if you hit the wrong tree and roll.
Hole #10 - boring! 170ish feet? Down hillish? This seems like a hole that they just had to put in to get to the next hole. Not worth it!
Hole #11 - Now I enjoy playing some billy goat golf, but this was ridicules! 300ish feet at a ridicules up hill angle. This would be a successful 4 likely 5.
Hole #12 - This was better than 11 and what I would call a fair hilly hole. 300ish feet and a hard 3
Hole #13 - Just like hole 10. About 170ish feet and doesn't make much sense. its in a bad place, the only thing is that if you don't park it you are looking at a 3 at best.
Hole #14 - considered the signature hole, and after playing with one of the designers I found out just why it is labled 420 feet (yes he did demonstrate just what 420 means in front of my wife and new born son.) He went on to say that the hole really is not 420 feet, it's more like 408, but he really wanted a 420 hole and proceeded to laugh about it. The worst part about this hole is the fact that it crosses a walking path 3 times. The worst part is that you have no way of seeing oncoming walkers nor do they have any way of seeing you. For a signature hole they really screwed up.
Hole #15 - back out to the open and you get a standard 300ish foot hole out in the open. There is a power line pole that you have to get around, but easy to do. Easy 3
Hole #16 - considered a par 4, but when you're putting from 30 feet out for 2 not so much. There is a large tree "in the way" but easily avoidable.
Hole #17 - WIDE OPEN! 340ish and nothing to stop you or make you throw a good shot. easy 3
Hole #18 - I didn't mind this hole and would call it a legit par 4. You have to navigate through 2 rows of trees, but those trees are on either side of the drive way that they use all day so watch for the bus. good 4.
Other Thoughts:
I think that Fontanel really missed the boat on this one. When I heard that the course was going in I instantly thought about the possibilities for some great tournaments to be held there, as it would make an amazing home base. What I believe is that someone went to them with the idea of a disc golf course and led them to believe that they could make a "world class" course and they didn't.
There are so many possibilities our there with the restaurant and scheduling weekly events that either start or end around eating time so people will come out and get some food (and it is good food too). There is no one on staff there that is a disc golf person as well. This would be a huge bonus for them as that person could organize events, plan weekly tournaments, and organize work crews for help with cleaning it up.
I anticipate that within the next 5 years Fontanel will realize that they screwed up and either hire someone to come in and redesign the course, or just pull it all together from lack of use.
