Cons:
It's a 9 hole course not an 18 hole course. This is one of my pet peeves when designers try to say that adding an extra tee pad makes it 18. It should be listed as 1-9 and say extra tee pads. It feels disingenuous to say otherwise, feels like false advertising and tries to make the course seem better than it is. Please stop doing this! Some of the tee pads are slightly different but for the most part it's just a long and short pad. If I lived close by it would feel weird to always start on "hole 10" but I would play the longer pads they are more interesting than the short pads.
The baskets are all pretty much on the flat open ground with the exception a few. It seems little thought was taken into consideration of how the disc should land once it reaches the hole. I think some different decisions about the basket locations and some of this gets fixed.
Many holes are wide open with only slightly elevation changes to help it out and I feel like the elevation was mismanaged here a little. The vast majority of the challenge of this course is having quick twitch muscles for long BH drives. Other forms of throwing such as FH, Roller, Tomahawk, etc. aren't even thought about in the design.
Bad throws really aren't punished as much as they should or could be. I suppose if you get really unlucky you could land in the creek and OB but for the most part the holes can be played backwards in a sense; drive 300, short upshot and putt or throw a bad throw 150, longer upshot and putt for a par.
I find for the skill level of an advanced player, someone who's been playing a while but not a pro there are way too many tweener holes in the "back 9" which is what I'm basing my rating on mostly. Some of these are par 3 for pros but listed at par 4 for advanced ams who are virtually never going to do anything other than 3 these holes. Kind of goes back to the course doesn't punish bad drives with worse off upshots; every throw is the same.
Other Thoughts:
My rating is based off of the "back 9" long tee pads for the course. I did not play the "front 9" after figuring out what was going on here but I did look at the "front 9" tee pads when I passed by them. This is a pretty good option and the only course in Brigham City that I know of. It has it's flaws but it's also a pleasant walk. I think of the place as a typical city park 9 hole course but with some extra distance off the tee pads. Overall worth a stop but don't go out of your way.
