Pros:
Practice basket, an elevated pin, a hanging basket, some fun downhill throws and a couple of nice arm stretchers for the non-distance challenged. A lot of variety on this course in terms of terrain and feel, from city park style amongst pines to quirky wooded holes along a creek to more open, field style holes to finish.
The fairway shape variety isn't too bad either, typically mostly straight stuff with some curves steep enough that you'll think about throwing FH or hyzers most of the line. The elevation change was surprising, with a couple of fun downhill shots where you can air a disc out a bit.

Cons:
A couple design 101 no-nos like crossing the park entrance road and crossing some sidewalks/paths. Really, really confusing transition from 3 to 4 as you basically walk back to hole 1. Holes 5, 6, and 7 form a triangle and kind of feel like filler holes.
The Ugly: Hole 4 has a worrisome fence on the left that I could easily foresee a disc kicking over. Holes 8 and 9 probably just shouldn't exist, they're basically in some guy's backyard. Very easy to put a disc over the fence in that yard but fortunately the holes are quite short so that reduces the chance quite a bit but at the end fill like filler holes that the designer went out of his way to use just to have some holes play along the creek. Holes 8-11 are pretty swampy but they put in a lot of bridges and it was fairly playable despite the recent deluge of rain.
12's basket, 13's tee and I think 15's tee all occupy this knoll and it's a little crowded up there, could get dodgy on a busy day.

Other Thoughts:
Holes 1 & 3 were a bit tight and luck rewarding I think. I really enjoyed the 12-18 section of the course, with 2 and 4 being the better of the front 9 IMO. 13 and 15 are just fun holes, I don't care who you are and I thought 16's use of pine limbs to create a tunnel was fairly clever. Ending the round with longer, field holes was a nice way to end.
Overall, the course is pretty solid once you look past the warts. It's worth a drop-in; the park has some age on it but it's fairly nice, with some modern looking basketball courts and nice ball fields.
