Reviewed: Played on:Jun 10, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Family friendly. I was able to throw my discs right alongside my son who was kicking a soccer ball as we share a tee with the foot golfers. Meanwhile, my wife is hitting golf balls on this "par 3" course. It's three types of golf in one! All the while, our daughter is swimming in the pool with her girlfriends. There really is something for everyone.

Cons:

Designed as an intro-to-disc-golf with family-fun in mind so it's not really fair to list a lack of difficulty as a "con" but, truth be told, most of the baskets are out in an open field rather than being tucked away. Seasoned disc golfers should not find the rough very often but might very well find themselves OB in a water hazard, across a fence line, or by landing on a ball golf green which the scorecard lists as OB in an effort to give ball and disc golfers a little breathing room.

As far as distance goes, I'll have to admit I was pleasantly surprised to find no less than 5 holes longer than 300 feet with #4 being the longest at 335. I went into it thinking I could just bring a mid-range Roc and an Aviar putter but found myself reaching for a fairway driver off the tee on several occasions. You can leave your ultra-long-range high speed distance drivers (a.k.a. Destroyer) in the truck but you will want to pack something understable (like a Sidewinder) for hole #7 which requires a big anhyzer or a forehand flick (I'm right handed) to turn right and put your drive within the circle.

The one true "con" is that there is little-to-no shade but that is to be expected with any disc golf course designed on the footprint of a ball golf course. If it's a really hot day with very little cloud cover you might want to rent a golf cart so you can have shade under it's roof. Luckily I've got an umbrella holder on my Delta Cart so I'm good.
