Pros: The course plays through a small flat park. The sled hill comes into play on the long tee for hole 4 adding a fun downhill bomb. Some scattered trees dot the grassy fairways, adding some obstacles on many of the shots. A few of the holes play along the creek, it could potentially come into play on a bad shot. There is some nice distance on a few of the holes here, offering some chances to air out some drives. The signage is decent, with hole length and layout. The large paving blocks make for a good tee surface.
Cons: The park is flat and very open, making this course a bit lacking in variety. A few of the holes seemed like they purposely avoided some available trees and instead opted for the wide open shot. The creek could have been used more to add some risk/reward decisions.

There are major safety issues here. It's a busy park with lots of other activities going on in the middle of fairways. Two different soccer games were going on when I played, causing hole 4's long tee and holes 10 and 11 to be completely unplayable without hitting someone. A couple holes play very close to one another, especially in holes 6-8 where errant shots can easily end up on other fairways.
Other Thoughts: Beginners will find some length here, but not a whole lot of punishment for errant shots. More experienced players won't find a whole lot of variety, and the only real challenge is the distance on a few holes. It's disappointing to see the continued installation of poorly thought out courses with little challenge or variety and numerous safety issues. It only serves to further the stereotypes of flat boring chicagoland disc golf, and holds the sport back in this area.
