Pros: They made very good use of the typography on this compact 9 hole course. The holes range from ~200' to 350'+ with multiple pin locations on several holes. Although parts of the course are "open", the use of many throwing techniques are required.
The use of natural obstacles (trees, valleys, hills, bushes, etc) makes each hole unique. For example, one pin is placed on about a 30 degree hill with a tree blocking your view of it from the tee.
Brand new Innova baskets on every hole. They have recently added tee signage, which is a big plus. Relatively easy to navigate when I first played it (without tee signs).
Biggest Pro in my opinion: the park is open until 11pm and there are no gates that can potentially lock your car in the park, so glow golf is an option everyday of the week. And given the fact that this course is relatively contemporary, it's very easy to navigate and play at night. No thick wooded areas (except on the left side of hole 1 and 2) to lose a disc at night.
PS - At night, you can play some wicked safari holes ;)

Cons: Obviously, the fact that it's a 9-hole course is a bit of a bummer. Especially when there's potential land for more holes.
As of this review, there are natural (grass/worn dirt) tees.
On certain holes, you throw across or over other holes and even the side of a small children's park. But that's what happens when they were only able to put in 9 holes. Just holler before you throw!

Other Thoughts: Hawthorne Park had an object disc golf course about 30 years ago. I'm glad they decided to revive it!
Dogs allowed, if leashed and kept off the grass. So bring your wife/girlfriend/friend to hold the dog while you're putting.
They've slowly been putting more garbage cans around the course. There is about 4 right now next to various tees.
Overall, it's a fun little course that's great for beginners. Many people could play the course with only a putter, maybe a mid range too.
