Other Thoughts:
A 9-hole "extension" of Young's Run I suppose would best describe this course. Hopefully it' used by the students, but worst case it gives the locals an opportunity to open up on some drives which isn't primarily available in the wooded course across the street. I enjoyed my round and nailed a couple birdies which is always a plus. The available land was put to good use and most of the holes are fun to play.

Work with what ya got 
Pros: This course has very nice newish baskets and concrete tees. A few of the holes have an extra tee added to add some difficulty.
This course really does the best it can with the available land, bringing some trees and water into play in an otherwise open space.
There is pretty good variation in hole distance from very short 140' to an extra long 600' (from the long tee).
Highlight holes for me were #9 with the pin on a slope and surrounded by OB, #3 short but through a gauntlet of trees, and #7 which has a tight window to the pin with water nearby.
The course is very well maintained by the college.

Cons: Not super challenging. You can play this course with pretty much straight drives off every tee.
There is a significant layout problem around holes 5 and 6. I was told by a local that they play 5 then 4 followed by 6. All in all strange design.
The whole course is just kind of blah. Mostly flat, mostly open, mostly short, mostly boring.

Other Thoughts: This course is very good to have on campus since it can get people interested in disc golf and can play easy enough to not discourage new players.
Literally across the road is the (now) 18 hole course Young's Run which is pretty cool. These two courses together provide a nice contrast and tournaments or events held here will often include both courses for 27 holes.
This is not a bad 9 hole course but definitely not one I would travel out of my way for.

Basic course 
Pros: New course, well-maintained grounds. Easy to navigate from hole-to-hole.
Cons: Not very technically challenging, mostly open. Right on a (very small) branch college campus; buildings/roads all around.
Other Thoughts: This course isn't much to rave about. Mostly just baskets out in open fields, so you'll throw to one basket then head to the next. not much in the way of obstacles or need for a variety of discs or throws.
The Clarence Darrow/Young's Run 15-hole course is a 30-second drive from here, best to hit both courses or just skip this one altogether.
However, the course is pretty new, so all the baslets are new and every hole has a sign with a map. Since it's on a Kent State University branch campus, the grounds are well-maintained.
Probably a good casual course if you are in the area, but not worth an extended drive. The nearby Young's Run course is pretty cool though, so if you hit that one it's not much effort to stop by the KSU Trumbull course as well.
