Pros:

Schneider Park offers a variety of looks from open to tight, and similar elevation shifts that provide some diversity. Fairways are clear and were well-mowed when I was there. The course's terrain isn't ideal, but provides some decent material for a course, with one large hill, a few slopes, and some copses of trees. These features are decently integrated. The course is well-signed and easy to follow. It plays quickly, making a workable option if you're pinched for time.

Cons:

Disc golf is often like Chinese food - even when it's bad it's good - but apparently not always. The course is just too short, too open, and too basic to prompt a return for all but the true beginner, especially given the presence of Arboretum-Spiker nearby. The unwieldly rough makes things further unattractive - I had to search for ~15 minutes on an only mildly off target forehand that landed less than 150' away on hole 8 - and the cramped space the course sits on lends a constricted feel. There are numerous other spots for your disc to become swallowed by rough on otherwise-uninteresting shots. Oftentimes, the potential frustration is just not worth it.

Tees marked by raised beams makes for an ankle-breaking hazard: I always drove from off to the side for worry of tripping.

Other Thoughts:

Schneider Park seems to have been constructed partly for a school across the street, and it's great for that purpose. Otherwise, however, it doesn't provide much beyond another notch in the belt if you don't live in the immediate neighborhood. There are other, better courses to visit when in the area.
