Pros:
Nice variety of shot shapes
Elevation changes on most holes
Easy to navigate with a photo of the course map (the map is slightly out of date), not a problem at all after the first time around.
Cons:
Thorns

A birdhouse in center of the throwing lane on hole 3
Targets, not baskets
The stone tees. Even when they are clear and dry it's not hard to lose your footing. Especially on hole 6 where the tee box tapers down to the left front corner.
Other Thoughts:
This course is ten minutes from my house and after reading the other reviews I never bothered to give it a try. Lesson learned.
This course is not for the feint of heart and its certainly not beginner friendly! Most of the fairways are tight but the lines are there and they are hittable. Slightly errant shots still have a decent chance of getting through if they are above the bramble. Bad shots can end up in some of the worst rough I've ever seen and I'm sure its even worse in the summer. It does look like a lot of work is being done around the fairways to clear as much of the thorny mess as is possible. I threw some AWFUL shots today and the only disc I almost lost was a second disc that I forgot to pick up ten feet from a target. That isn't to say that I didn't get shredded retrieving the worst of my throws, but they were really really bad... Like 100' off the fairway bad. Most of my bad throws though, were retrievable without bloodletting.
Elevation comes into play on almost every hole, some more than others.
The first hole is a slight uphill hyzer that can be played up the path or over the underbrush on a more direct route.
Hole 2 plays straight with the post tucked into the left side of the fairway.
Hole 3 has a poorly placed birdhouse dead center in the opening. The basket is out in the field slightly uphill and pretty far right. Not sure if the fairway is a mando, but there's a straighter line at the post through the trees to the right off the tee but there's a lot in the way.
Hole 4 is a long gentle uphill hyzer.
Hole 5 is a long anhyzer or a big curving hyzer flick with a lot of trees in the way.
Hole 6 is a big hyzer that plays out of the woods into the field. There are patches of tall grass in the field that eat discs, After the fall mow I found chopped up bits of at least 8 different Frisbees.
Hole 7 plays from the woods, across the field and back into the woods with a gradual downhill across the field and a steep 15' drop off right before the green. Oddly, as with a previous reviewer, I think I got my first ace on this hole. It sounded like I hit the post and the disc was laying next to it when I got down there.
Hole 8 is a rhbh sweeping s turn with an understable disc (I throw a comet) to stay on the fairway and get down to the green. Its not the hole 8 on the map though, the tee is right next to 7's pole, not up the path like the map shows and the post is to the right along the path towards 9's tee.
Hole 9 is another hole that isn't exactly where the map says it is. It is the longest hole on the course. It's a slight hyzer/ long straight shot with the post out of the woods and left of the fairway about 40' short of the road.
Overall I'm sorry I waited 2½ years to play this course. I'm a rec/am level player and I found the course to be quite playable. I will certainly be back, and not just because it's 20 minutes closer than any other course. I'm not sure what it will look like all grown in during the summer, but I have a feeling I won't be throwing my favorite discs here.
I've seen more deer on this course than any other. For the most part, they don't seem to care all that much about people walking around. It's not a bad idea to check thew fairway before throwing.
12/16/16 Update: Having now seen the course throughout a growing season I had to update my review. Dropped my rating from 2½ discs down to 1. The lack of mowing anything resembling a fairway, along with the height and thickness of the rough, makes half of the course basically unplayable. And the other half ain't that great either.
