Pros: A good beginner course, and the closest one to Pt. Townsend. First three holes are a nice challenge in the trees, with all three holes guarded by trees. The last six are much more open. That's kind of nice for learning what your discs do, but adds no challenge.
Cons: You realistically could throw a midrange for every shot with no consequences.
Other Thoughts: Be careful of other park users! Everyone I've met there has been local to the area, and very nice about suggesting other courses in Poulsbo and PA.

Pros: HJ Carroll bills itself as designed for families/beginners and indeed it is. The three holes in the trees really help diversify what is otherwise a wide open layout. If you are a local then this course is a 'Pro' because otherwise you would be driving a long way to play disc golf.
Cons: The 6 open space holes are very boring; short and almost no obstacles. The open area is not particularly pretty. Has kind of a weedy look and feel to it. If you are a more advanced player the open area will not be a challenge. Gravel tee pads are not in the best of shape. The current online map (8-24-2008) is no longer accurate.
Other Thoughts: This course is basically 3 wooded, technical holes and 6 wide open holes. The course description says it is a family course and beginners are who would benefit most from this course. The open areas are good for people who are just starting. The holes are short and almost totally without obstacles. Three holes are 210', 215' and 230'. These should be deuces for an advanced player.
The 3 new holes in the woods really save this place. They are tight and technical (not to mention nice woods if you like that sort of thing). They are short so if you really know the line you could try for the basket from the tee.
This course is what it is, a family course. I really wouldn't drive out of the way to play HJ Carroll. However, if you are in the area why not check it out.
Bonus: This course is as Pacific NW as it gets if you are just going by a map. The Olympic Peninsula is the furthest north and west landmass in the continental US.
