Course close to Universities 
Pros: This course is close to the city and the universities in the area. It has several nice views of the city. It has cement tee pads and baskets.
Cons: The holes are short and not well marked. Luckily I had a paper map of the course to navigate around.
Other Thoughts: I only played this course once before I started "really" playing disc golf. At that time I had a short drive with little skills. I did pretty well at the time though so it is beginner friendly. If you are in the area it is worth a stop but if not I would drive to other courses in the Pittsburgh area.

Pros: Old school course. Holes 1 through 6 are pretty much out in the open. Watch out for people using the park in this area. Holes 7-18 are tucked into the woods and are pretty close together. In some area's you can accidentally hit golfers playing 4 different holes. 3 sets of tees and two pin positions per hole. The short and medium tees are nice concrete pads. The longer blue tee's may be difficult to find. You can tell that not many people play from the longer tee's.

Short and crowded 
Pros: Great views from the holes in the field. You can get multiple rounds in a short amount of time if that's your thing.
Cons: Most holes play short and none were terribly challenging. Very much crowded with non-disc golfers outside of the wooded holes. Probably not too beginner friendly due to the crowds.
Other Thoughts: Schenley was an ok course but it definitely pales in comparison to the other courses in the area. The hillside was quite crowded when I played through the course and there were also two huge parties with extremely loud music around holes 10-15. I actually had to skip 15 and 16 as a result of the parties.
If you're taking a trip down to the area I'd probably skip Schenley and go straight to Knob Hill or Deer Lakes which are relatively close and worth the drive.

Pros: if you are looking for medium distance ace runs this course is for you... there is also a stellar view of the city from the open holes
Cons: large amounts of non-players during the summer months.
Other Thoughts: Great course for its day. Still fun when looking for a recretional day out on a course or to tune your approach skills..

Pros: Has both holes that are wide open and heavily wooded. It is readily accessible from the suburbs and the city, and has a beautiful view of the city skyline. Concrete tee pads for both red and white tees with signs posted at each are a rare luxury.
Cons: The woods are somewhat dense, and some of the wooded holes do not seem to have much of an optimal throwing lane or landing zone. Many of the tee signs have been damaged or destroyed. A severe storm in the summer of 2007 took its toll on some of the trees and baskets.
In addition, the course is approaching 20 years in age, and it is rather short by today's standards. A couple of holes are stretched into the par 4 range for the blue tees (in addition to #2, which is a real P4 from the white tee), but for the majority of holes there is simply no room to lengthen them. And since concrete tees cannot be moved, this course will always play short from the whites and very short form the reds.

Other Thoughts: This used to be a big time course, having in the past hosted the Ironwoods Open and the current women's national champion. It has now been eclipsed by the newer, bigger courses outside of the city. However Schenley is still very frequently played and well maintained, and a trip here affords one the opportunity to see the city of Pittsburgh from the crown jewel of its parks.
Experts should make Moraine, Deer Lakes and Knob Hill a higher priority; they are really higher caliper courses. For the rest of us, Schenley can still be a fun time.
