Pros:
This part of the golf course's land wouldn't work for golf, but disc golf is perfect for it! There's moderate elevation, moderate woods, and a nice variation in holes/pin spots.
The pin spots vary widely. A 300ft hole today could be in a 700ft pin tomorrow.
Nice size concrete tee pads, and the lime green baskets do stand out really well against the trees. Tee signs were installed August of 2022 and will definitely help with the experience.
There's a practice basket that has it's own "tee" about 100ft away.
A few greens are buried in the trees, a few greens are on a hill, a few greens are on a flat plot of sand. The different types are nice when on many "open" courses the basket is either tucked into some trees or just in the grass.
Even though there had been rain the night before I played, I didn't find any mud at all.

Cons:
1 and 2 play next to a decently busy road. Not that close, but it's not out of the question for a long, bad forehand.
Many basket placements are blind, and you'll likely have to walk the hole to find it. This also leads into navigation issues. From hole 4 I assumed the big green square I was seeing was the tee for 5 and that the pin was in some trees to the right. Well, joke's on me, because it the basket was around a dogleg left, along with the tee for hole 5. Once you've played once or twice these issues do melt away, but there's a lot of people who haven't yet played their first round here.
Maintenance has gone sour this summer. 6ft high rough in some common landing areas can make discs unfindable. It sets up more of a traditional golf-style fairway, but the rough has made some holes a complete joke.
Finding the first hole from the parking lot was tough. You'll go to the right of the clubhouse, between the ball golf putting green and the pond, walk past (or over) hole 18 and find the first tee to it's right. I suggest pulling off at the road by the tee of 3 and parking there.

Other Thoughts:
This course is long and not suited for beginners. It's for you to decide if that's a pro or con.
Even with some pretty substantial elevation on several holes, this course won't wear you out more than a normal long course would. Absolutely worth driving to and playing.

Played the course:once
Pros:
* Large, concrete pads
* multiple pins per hole
* a large variety of shots and difficulties

Cons:
* desperately needs signs. It was pretty easy for us to get lost on the back of the course. Make sure you have access to the map before you go.
Other Thoughts:
This course is not a pushover. Some of the positions we played were HARD and the course wasn't even set long. On a hot day, this is a long course and 80 oz of water weren't enough. 18 has a pin position on an island in a pond. That island is not even a full putting circle and the absolute shortest carry over the water is probably 20 feet on the wrong side of the pond. Felt more like 60 to 80 feet on the approach side of the pond. Make sure you take a disc you don't mind risking because missing that upshot is pretty darned easy. I asked two different ball golf workers where the disc golf course was and neither had a clue what I was talking about. Park near the dumpster at the North end of the parking lot and then hike out on the trail to the east side of the pond. You'll find hole one...after a while.
