Mountain Crest 
Pros: Park is well maintained. The Ts are in great shape. All of the signs are present. Quiet park away from lots of traffic.
Cons: The fairways are too close together and sometimes overlap. The course flow is sometimes confusing and for first timers, finding the next hole can be tough. A couple holes end next to the road, so overshooting the hole may land your disc into the road. Lots of other park users around. The sprinkers were on while we were playing (early sunday morning). Until the trees fully grow, the course overall is easy and some holes are pretty uninspiring (there is an 85' hole).
Other Thoughts: There are a lot of things that bug me about this park, but I can see it having a lot more potential, especially once the newly planted trees grow up. Most of the holes are fairly short, but there are a couple holes that allow you to open it up. This park is one of those that is a finesse park rather than a big arm park.
I am used to the parks in North Texas where the rough is very...rough. You can spend a lot of time looking for your discs. Mountain Crest is like a godsend in that aspect. Unless you throw your disc into someone's yard (or on their roof), you shouldn't have any problems with losing your discs. Even though there are a lot of other park users, the ones we came across were very accomodating.

B- = Bit Better Than Average 
Pros: What I personally like and how this course stacks up:
1) Holes with good risk/reward -- C+
2) Holes that have rewarding birdie opportunities -- B+
3) More wooded than open - lots of variety of shots required caused by hole shape and topography -- B
4) Natural beauty (Appalachian beauty preferred) and seclusion -- B
5) Multi-shot holes with defined landing zones, good risk/reward and multiple options to play them -- NA

Other Thoughts: I ranked this course subjectively based on my own personal enjoyment factor…more accurately my "personal addiction factor". Since I have played a decent number of courses (115 18-hole, 50 9-hole as of early 2009), my hope is that players/explorers who have similar tastes will find my ratings list helpful as they chose courses to play and explore.
Over time, I expect to fill some of my reviews in with more descriptive verbiage…if what I say adds anything to what has already been written. For now, my list is more important to me than the verbiage of my reviews.
I fully expect others with different tastes/philosophies to disagree with me. See my profile for my rating philosophy.

Nicest course in Vegas 
Pros: Nice park, green grass, decent mix of short and long holes.
Cons: Could be more difficult and could have a few longer holes.
Other Thoughts: This is our weekly course. The players are friendly and people don't get in your way much. We usually play around 9AM so usually the only people there are throwers. I prefer playing this course over Sunset because it's a nicer park and there are fewer people clogging the fairways doing other park related activities.

Best in Vegas
Pros: Good mix of shots. Great tee signs, and well marked. Young trees that will become quite challenging in the years to come.
Cons: Last five holes are VERY short to keep people from throwing into a neighborhood.
Other Thoughts: Great course given the setting. Best and most maintained course in Vegas. Better Part of town than Sunset Park.

Pros: Nice, new course. Open & relatively flat so it's an easy walk. Nice long holes mixed with short. Trees and lanscaping come into play.
Cons: It's a mult-use park so there are picnics & people running all around the course. It's pretty open so if (when) it's windy it's a little tough.
Other Thoughts: It's a long drive out here but it's a nice part of town. I highly recommend it!

Pros: great teepads and signs once you find tee, mowed grass, trash p/up, course is in vegas, can play course with 5 discs
Cons: no course maps, many park people, not challenging
Other Thoughts: pitch and putt for the most part
Course provides true lines and is very short, but you do need 2 drivers in the bag for 4 to 5 holes. The other holes can be played with a magnet or a buzz off the tee. Sunset is still the course to play in Vegas and i was disapointed that I came to this course and "practiced my putting". A few trees come in to play around the course but for the most part it is a simple course with baskets. The park is very nice and is set up in a perfect square like the rest of the city blocks out west. It may be 2 blocks and you weave back and forth in the square. The tax payers get a good return with perfect grass and people picking up trash daily. Stay near the strip and play Sunset especially if time is limited. I have never been to Freedom Park in the area but the locals told me that people use the baskets for drying their clothes, trash receptacles, and possibly grilling out which didn't sound like too much fun.

Good Practice Course
Pros: Well groomed course, nice tee pads, relaxing all around game. Fairly short holes, with little trees, but the trees are very young still. As this course matures, it will become much more challenging. Most of the course is very short, but there are still a few long pins. OB makes shots a bit more challenging and comes in to play on the back quite a bit.
Great for practice, and for recreational play, very comfortable park.

Cons: A bit repetitious, especially on the back 9. Some days the traffic makes a number of holes unplayable.

mountain crest 
Pros: well marked with tee signs, concrete teepads. modern park with bathrooms, playground, picnic benches.
Cons: immature foliage, street comes into play on some shots.
Other Thoughts: This course is a relatively new one in a relatively new park. the trees need to mature to give the average disc golfer more of a challenge. It is well designed considering the limitations in space, side streets are an issue on a couple of tee shots. the course caters to the advanced/intermediate player and a better than average pro can probably hit double digits under par even on a windy day. until the foliage matures, it is a wide open course well maintained with mown lawn in its entirety, fairly flat. it is located about 20/25 minutes west of the strip in an urban setting. I didnt see too many non disc golfers on the course but i imagine that might be an issue at peak hours as this is a multi-use park. a pleasant, relaxing alternative to sunset if you get tired of playing there.
