Pros:

Good baskets with a variety of lengths from 175 feet to over 700. Some holes on the grassy part of the park with mature trees. I enjoyed the baskets along the creek.

Cons:

You really must have the map to play this course. It is a 9 basket course that plays 18, but the path to the next tee is not necessarily intuitive and often if quite a distance. My sons and I felt like we had played 18 after 9 holes. Additionally, watch for the sewage bog near the 17th tee. One of my sons stepped in it and we threw his shoes away at the park. Although it is nice to have concrete tees, these tees are extremely short considering you are often throwing 400' or more.

Other Thoughts:

With the map in hand we found the tees much easier, but the considerable walk between holes was exhausting. The wind makes it feel like you are on the plains of Wyoming, which, by the way, you are! Still worth playing this course because there are some interesting shots and I like the length.

Pros:

They make use of the pond and creek by putting most of the baskets near them. The baskets and tee pads are in great shape. The park is easy to find. For a nine hole, with dual tee pads making 18 the course is not repeating. The tee pads point you in the direction of your target and have the feet marked on them. If you land in the creek its not a big deal, your disc will be easy to retrieve. Many hole use the creek which is the highlighting feature of the course. The most prominent features here is length and creek water. I play here often between classes and find it most fun to jump on and play whatever random teebox is nearest.

Cons:

The dual tee pads are spread throughout the course which makes the walking to the next tee pad illogical at times, there are numerous holes in which the walking to the next tee pads is actually longer than the length of the hole. You end up wandering the course so much that you are relieved to be finished. For a small city park course, the terrain lacks green and trees. Many of the holes are very long adding to the length. I've heard that the locals have their own way of getting in 18 but I've never gotten on with a group playing this way. You absolutely must stop to get a map, otherwise you will not be able to make your way. Plus, it gets so windy most of the time that a long flat wide open round loses its appeal.

Other Thoughts:

Edit, I've add a big pic of the map, You'll need it. I picked up the map at a place called Atmospheres on 2nd between Ivinson and Grand. Lots of disc selection there.
