Always a good time 
Pros: Really close to downtown Ann Arbor. Within biking distance if you live in town. If you know your way around the Ann Arbor trails you can ride them all the way to the park.
Three concrete tee pads at every hole is a definite plus. The placement of each tee is well thought out, and can completely change the way you approach some of the holes. Even though it's only 9 holes you could play a round from the reds and round from the blues and still have it feel like a fresh challenge on the second round.
It's hard to describe exactly what it is I like about this course. I play it a few times a week, and I still have a great time when I play.

Cons: The course itself looks a bit rough around the edges. The last reviewer wasn't exaggerating about the shredded wood everywhere. it looks essentially like they walked a giant wood chipper through the woods, missed a few trees, and then stuck a basket at the end.
Like most courses I've played the mosquitos can get pretty bad, so grab the spray.
The long path to the last three holes has a tendency to get a little muddy (it takes you around a low lying area) and with the amount of rain we've gotten it's getting a little overgrown. Not bad enough to be any sort of problem though, I just thought I would mention it.

Other Thoughts: If you live in Ann Arbor, it's definitely worth a visit.

Pros: Interesting location (starts out near a highway overpass, but quickly goes into deep woods), very convenient to downtown Ann Arbor, which is awesome.
The park itself is really pretty, since it runs along the Huron River, but there are no water holes, so there's no real risk of losing a disc.
Holes are clever at times, forcing you to really think about how to throw - high precision is needed at times.
Even though it's a smaller 9 hole course, there are a couple of holes you can get a nice long drive out of.
Each hole has three tee pads, each with well thought out positions and distances.

Cons: [Update] In its second year, the course has softened up a ton, and is much more playable than it was when I first wrote this review, last year.
Last year there was shattered wood everywhere, since they had just created the course.
This year - much nicer.
[End Update]
Finally, none of the holes have par marked on them. I understand some people always play a hole as a three, but many recreational golfers enjoy comparing themselves to a more realistic 3-5 par. In my opinion, if you play the red tee pad, you should use par 3 for every hole. If you play white or blue (not a huge difference), then use the amateur pars I've entered in the Hole Info section. Given the dense woods on almost every hole, I think they're fair.

Other Thoughts: No drinking fountain or water source nearby. No stores nearby to stop at, either. Bring bug spray, too.
