Pros:
Course that appears to be trending upwards based on the previous reviews. There are indeed 9 nice yellow Discatchers now. The tees are modest, but do consist of a defined area of framed gravel mostly flush with the ground- most tee boxes were trapezoid shaped helping to show the direction in which to throw. Tee signs are a small orange post in the ground, but give hole # + distance and draw your eye to where the tee is located.
Design made good use of available land and its features. On the more open side, but the grass appears to be regularly mowed. There are enough trees, hills, and a creek to make the holes interesting and non-repetitive. Every hole has some element to make you earn a short putt.
The land is only for disc golf and is pretty isolated in the back of the park once you get past hole #1.
The map near hole leaves a lot to be desired, and it was not very helpful to me (use the 2016 map on DGCR instead), but without it I was able to use some common sense and a small amount of scouting and found all 9 tees and baskets with little trouble.

Cons:
Baskets (most important thing) are updated now! So next on the list should be updating signs, tees, and course map/kiosk.
Finding hole #1 was the toughest. You can't really park at hole 1, you have to walk between the last two baseball fields on your right as you enter the park. Walking is fine, just makes finding it tough for a new person.
Only 9 holes, which is too bad because the land is ideal for disc golf and would be sweet if there was enough room for 9 more.

Other Thoughts:
The current pics on DGCR look way worse than the course in its current state. If I had known I would have taken some newer pics. So very nice to see a course getting the attention it needs for maintenance and updating.
Great that locals now have 27 decent holes of disc golf in Paris.
I have no proof, but I would guess that the park itself can get crowded, but that the course does not. Looks to be a great place to practice in a bit more of a remote setting.
Rating- The actual playing part of the holes is a 2.5-3.0, but only being 9 holes, a bit on the easy side, and lacking great tees and signs, I have to give it a 2.0 overall (reasonable) and apparently way better than it used to be!
