Pros: This course offers players a very decent amount of variety, ranging from wide open elevated tee shots that soar for days to very long and tight fairways through the woods that gobble up errant discs left and right. Multiple tee placements offer additional variety, and the holes make great use of the terrain.
To truly master this course you will need a good combination of distance, control and patience. The park is full of trees, and there are very few holes where they do not come into play.
A creek runs along many of the holes, and can come into play on the poorly placed shot.
Overall, very fun and challenging.

Cons: There is a bit of repetition on some of the holes on the back 9. The course can also be a bit hard to navigate, but common sense will get you through it. A few fairways run a little close together, so keep your head on a swivel.
Make sure you bring the bug spray as the mosquitoes, particularly along the creek, tend to be quite thick.

Other Thoughts: This course is definitely one that should be avoided by the easily discouraged or short tempered player, as it really does require a lot of patience to enjoy. There are tons of trees...which you will hit...often. There are lots of places to lose discs...which you will lose.
If you can deal with that...definitely play this course. If you can't...try somewhere else.

Pros: Very challenging course, the trees and elevation changes will test you skills. Great elevation changes that will make you think about what to throw. Right off the bat you are faced with a 300 ft downhill with trees all the way down, then the second hole is a huge uphill hole that you have to put everything you have into to make it to the basket in two. Three different pin placements make the course different every time you play it. Corridor hole that is over 400 feet, will make you want to quit!!
Cons: Can be hard to navigate if its your first time. situated at the bottom of a hill so it takes some time to dry out.
Other Thoughts: Great place to learn the game, there is always someone you can partner up with.

Pros: The challenge is, as would be put best, challenging. I'm not used to playing courses with so many thin trees in the middle of each hole, therefore creating a little variety. Distances vary and allow for tough ace shots or long pars. If the "blair witch" hole is the one i remember, 12, it was actually alot of fun. The tunnel view between tree and shrubbery was something completely new to me. In a way, 18 seemed sort of epic. But only in the matter that you finish 17, walk up the far corner of the park on a slight hill looking down on a reachable but tree-hounded hole. There is no post for the hole either, but that's just my look on it.
Cons: TREES... look left TREES look right TREES, right in front of you TREES. Pain in the arse. Unforgiving rough areas. Evil creeks that will hurt you if you wear shoes with holes in them.
Other Thoughts: All in all an ok course, little annoying at time, rewarding at times.

Pros: This is a difficult course to review, as I really enjoy playing here. It has some nice variety in elevation, many wooded and some other more open holes, and a couple of the pin placements are treacherous. The course has nice concrete tees and multiple pins that are usually arranged with a nice variety of short and long placements.
On a historic note: This park has been used for disc golf for a long time, as it is the park Dave McCormack of Gateway Disc Sports used to set up object courses on back in the 70's & 80's. You can still see some object markings on trees if you know where to look.

Cons: There is a safety dogleg and on a couple of holes you can easily end up in the next fairway. There is also a hole that plays across the ball field outfield, which can be uncomfortable when people are using the field. On the front nine holes the elevation is used to give some tough uphill shots and some fun elevated tee shots, but on the back you mostly play across the hills negating some of the effect of the elevation variation. This course used to be nine holes, and much of the original design is now in the front nine. The new holes making up the back nine get kind of repetitive.
Other Thoughts: Overall, as an Intermediate AM player this course really give me all I am looking for in a course. From a personal perspective, I can play here every day and be very happy. However, I've seen better players tear this course up. Somewhere between my skill level and a 970 rated player, a lot of the challenge seems to disappear from this course. Given that I can't rate it as high as I would like. However I think most players will enjoy this course.

Pros: Lots of variety in the landscape of this park - first few holes go down and up a hill moderately covered with trees. Later holes include wide open downhill pulls and tunnel shots to hard to reach greens with elevated pins. The front 9 are solid holes.
Cons: The "Blair Witch" hole brings the course down for me - it is a tight hyzer tunnel shot right down beside the Interstate. Just not a fun hole.
Other Thoughts: Two of the three times I've been here there have been police cruisers by the ball diamond catching z's.
