Pros: Lots of variety in the second nine layout. #10 is a very tight uphill to the stone foundation of an old house - kind of cool to find it there. 11 is a beautiful steep downhill to the edge of the creek. 13 makes a twisting slight downhill s-curve to the hole. 16 is another fun one near the creekbed, with a generous landing area to the right if you can start straight enough.
Lots of tactics to think through, but it's never an option to thoughtlessly rip a long drive.
Very clear and helpful tee signs. Be sure to check the "next tee" indicators on those signs. There's also some low-to-the-ground posts that help confirm the path from basket to tee.

Cons: A bit too much back and forth and up the road on the front nine. On the other hand, I liked the downhill drives on both 4 and 5.
No cement tees or multiple tees - lots of gravel tees make a run-up drive impractical. Same situation in 2010, as in 2008.
Lots of bugs along the water when I was there.
Huge walks from hole to tee - starting with the walk up the road to get to #8. Most of the back nine tees require a bit of a hike. You need a lot of time and energy to finish 18 - not to mention one more walk back up the road to the starting point.

Other Thoughts: The two nines are extremely different in challenge required - back nine took twice as long for me to play.
#14 is no longer a massive slog from the creek, straight up the hill. It now follows the trail, with the basket slightly uphill and to the right. Cuts down significantly on the walk to the tee, and keeps the score down a bit. I'm guessing it's close to 250 ft. now.
Tee for #8 is the middle of the road, and the best option for a shorter driver seems to be "keep it on the asphalt." I don't know the OOB rules for that one.
I talked with one of the course designers after my round. These guys deserve a lot of credit for making a good fun course. The park itself looked somewhat rundown - the course is the best thing that could happen to the area. It also sounds like they have some good local events set up.
Flight paths to the basket seemed a little clearer through the woods, compared to two years ago. There are still several holes are set up tight along the walking paths. There's no alternative to a controlled straight shot.
It's not too hard to lose a disc - 15 is one example. Hole placement invites a fade left, and it's downhill, so you could go a long way depending upon your luck with the trees. But anything short - straight or left - gets swallowed in extensive brush.
