Pros:
This is the course you play when you need a quick nine holes. It's typically not very busy, and you've got just (and I mean just) enough trees to make things interesting. If you like a short course and only mildly technical - than this is your place.
I have been out of the DG scene for a while, but this is the course I'm using to dip my toes back in the water - so in that regard - it's great. There is no water, and it's the perfect pitch and putt to wipe off the cobwebs.
I love the little stretch in the trees with holes #5-#8. You feel like #5 should be an ace off the tee every time, and #7 and #8 make you shape the shot just enough that a poor throw off the tee could mean a bogey.
BEST HOLE/S: #7

Cons:
If you are looking to for a challenge or longer throws off the tee - go to Texas Army Trail down the road. #3 is the longest tee at #350 feet. Let me reiterate that if you have any skill with a disc - you should not bogey a single hole.
#4 - the basket at the time of this review has been pulled. It appears that there is a planter construction project going on, so I don't know how this will affect things in the long run. #4 was a total ace run, and probably the easiest hole on the course when the basket was in, so an new pin location would probably be an upgrade anyway.
The signage is super basic and the tee box is natural - aka grass and dirt. The back area starting at #5 can also be mucky and gross and hold water for a while. Player be warned.
WORST HOLE/S: #4

Other Thoughts:
This is the type of course you are looking for if you are:
1. A Beginner
2. Getting back into the sport
3. Have smaller kids & family DG
4. Teaching someone new the game
It's not revolutionary by any means, and you literally have Texas Army trail two minutes down the road if you are looking to hone your skills or are an intermediate to advanced player. Again, this is the course you squeeze in 30 minutes before the sun sets right after a long day of work. Enough to satisfy the itch, but don't expect much more than that.
With #4 out of the ground 1.5 discs. However, I will give it 2.0 discs with the assumption that #4 will go back in the ground after construction is over. So, 2.0 discs - but barely.
