Pros:
The course is located in a peaceful, beautiful area. There is a creek running through the park, and that was about all I heard while I was there.
Tees are clearly marked, with distances. Course was easy to navigate the first time through.
Baskets are in very good shape.
Beginner friendly course, but still has some challenging and memorable holes. Hole #2 is almost straight downhill through a tight woody fairway, #7 is a sharp dogleg right, going uphill through the woods, #8 is a hallway-ish shot through the woods and #9 is a big dogleg left where you start uphill in the woods and end down below in the open.
A pretty big creek, mature trees, tight fairways lined with thick woods/grass and pin placement provide challenges here.
Nice mix of open and more woodsy/technical holes.
Some holes might require shots you're not used to throwing.
The creek looks to be about 1-3 feet deep and clear, so it should be possible to retrieve your disc from the watery abyss.

Cons:
"Natural" tees didn't give much traction after a light rain.
Some holes are repetitive and bland. 1, 4 and 5 are pretty much the same type of hole (mostly wide open and 200' - 240'), but with different obstacles.
Not much distance here.
It would be possible to lose a disc here -- in the water or thick vegetation/woods.

Other Thoughts:
I played 27 holes on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon and I didn't see a single person on the course, non-DGers included. This would be a good course to work on your game.
There is a massive, flat, wide-open field where you play holes 4, 5 and 6 that would be perfect to use for working on your drives. The only thing you would have to worry about would be yanking one into the creek or the thick woods/grass.
I really enjoyed myself here - which was a pleasant surprise. It has a certain charm to it and the peaceful setting is nice. If I were a local I would be happy to have this as a decent nearby course. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a play. That being said, I probably couldn't recommend anyone go out of their way to play here. It is a fun round, though.
