Cons:
This will change eventually, but at the time of this writing, the course is very rough and the city does not have the park on a mowing schedule.
Creek crossings, more bridges will eventually be put in, right now there is only one bridge on hole 4.

Other Thoughts:
This course was JUST put in. No parking yet, that will eventually be built off Legacy. Right now you park in the grass off Fishtrap RD near tee for hole 2.
Hole 1 is a nice natural fairway with a creek behind the basket, don't overthrow this one.
Hole 2 is currently a very blind shot crossing the creek and in a nice area for a green. The natural flow is a slight turnover.
Hole 3 is a very hard right turn with hole 4's tee box on the left side of the fairway.
Hole 4 is a nice natural fairway with the basket tucked in behind some brush just before the creek. You can see the basket for hole 1 from the tee, throw short of it and you are good.
Then a longer walk though aa fence line over to hole 5. It's an uphill shot with some tree's taking out a hyzer shot. Basket is just past a tree line on top of the dam for a pond.
Hole 6 throws over the pond and up the hill. A key tree takes out a natural right handed hyzer.
Hole 7, longest hole on the course and a marked mando. First throw is pretty open but you have to get around a tree line with a mando to get a clear shot to the basket. Don't overthrow your drive, another tree line down the right side of the fairways. The basket is another 280ft from the mando down a natural fairway sitting on the small hill.
Hole 8 is a simple hyzer up a slight hill with some brush hiding the basket from sight.
Hole 9 throws back down towards the creek with one large tree forcing you to throw a hyzer or anhyzer around it. There is some smaller brush just short of the green and the creek is just past the basket.
After hole 9, there is an area you can cross the creek between baskets 4 and 1, or walk all the way round the only bridge on fairway 4.
This course will be nice if the grass is kept mowed. As long as not too much clearing of some of the smaller brush does not happen. I really did like the natural fairways.
What I didn't like was the tee box placement for hole 4 and the use of a mando on hole 7. But that is my personal opinion. We all can look at a course and see how we would do something dfferent.
Would I play here again? Not right now, when the course is cleaned up, I want to play it again. but right now it is just too rough. Reminds me of the first time I attempted to play Trinity Falls over in McKinney.
