Reviewed:

Played the course:once
Pros:
Some holes utilize elevation changes.
Directions are painted onto paths.
Most holes use the path for tees, which makes for good footing.
Multiple tees.
Beautiful location
Holes 7 and 10 were pretty good.

Beautiful location
Holes 7 and 10 were pretty good.
Cons:
Few trees.
Some longer walks between holes (5 to 6, 7 to 10, 14 to 15).
Many holes are immediately adjacent to backyards, horse pens, soccer fields, sheds, or other obstacles. This requires most disc golfers to play more careful, especially since neighborhood complaints of people retrieving discs from backyards have already closed holes 1, 8, 9, and 18.
While the path makes for good footing, the best tee placements would usually have been off the path, which would have made for a better course design.

Other Thoughts:
If holes 1, 8, 9, and 18 were to reopen with better locations (there's a good possibility on the hillside by the parking lot for hole 18), then the course might be a bit better, but always having to adjust throws to avoid losing discs in backyards makes this course not as fun. The course would probably work better as a shorter course playing only in the locations without backyards.
