Pros:
-The property terrain is very nice. Especially on the upper part. You'll really get your hopes up for some sweet elevation change once you are finished with #16. It ends well with a nice challenging uphill anhyzer on #18 to a hanging basket in the woods. Definitely the best hole on the course.
-Good mix of open and wooded. Nine holes on the upper part of the property are all at least mostly open. All the holes on the bottom part of the property. Maybe 60' below (see cons below) in the woods.
-Few interesting shaped holes. I like the slightly right to left backhand on #5. #7 is a nice sharp left to right sidearm. 210' and slightly downhill. Gives a great view of how far below you are from where you were before when you started on the upper part of the course (holes #1-4). #13 needs some overhead branches cut, but when it beats in, this will be a neat uphill flip up sidearm hole.
-Nice elevated basket on #4. Love the hanging basket on #18 too.
-Playing a quick nine is optional. Two nine hole loops. #1-4, #14-18 for a quick open nine or #5-13 for a wooded nine.
-Nice discCatcher baskets and tee signs with the hole par and hole length. No tee signs, but the course is marked on U disc.

Cons:
-I hate the way that the elevation is incorporated here. Aside from #13 and #18, the elevation here is minimal. Problem. The upper part of the course is like 50-60' above the wooded part of the course. I realize that it'd be hard to design some holes on the hill that separates the upper part from the lower part because of its steepness and its vegetation, but you'll see many other opportunities that may have been missed. Once you get to #16's green, you'll see some sweet elevation change in the woods but it's not used. This is a disc golf course designed like a house. There's a 1st floor and a basement and the fairways are pretty flat. Like every floor plan. #13 takes you from the basement to maybe a third of the way up the stairs to the first floor. #18 takes you to the attic.
There's no big downhill hole that takes you to the "basement". Just a long downhill walk from #4 to #5.
-The beginning is just thoughtless. #1-3 are all wide open shots in the soccer field. #1 is slightly uphill and #2 is a distance showoff. #3 is just half of #2. About 230', wide open. Nothing in sight. #4 is wide open too. Only interesting thing about it is the elevated basket on a mound. #14 and #15 are about as boring. They are in the soccer field but they are open without any character to them.
-#18 is pretty much closed due to construction in the parking lot. I just followed my location on U disc until it said I was a few feet from the tee and just teed off.
-#11's design is downright bad. Barely a fairway that hooks crazy right to left. You'll be playing plinko here because the line to the basket is not a valid line. Discs don't fly like that, unless you throw a 280' roller.

Other Thoughts:
-Course has the tools to be better. Could utilize more elevation and more wooded holes with more thought. Now holes #5-8 were all okay to solid. #12 and #13 have potential. But they aren't up to par. The open part of Nebo is just terrible with the exception of #18. That's the only fun hole at Nebo Crossing.
-They have the tools to make Nebo more interesting. It's like they have an axe and a sharpening stone to chop down a tree but they used a pair of clippers and carved around the tree for four hours and shook it for two. Nebo Crossing is a tree that was carved and shaken. Same with the course down the road at Universal Park. Universal has good elevation but no fairways.
