Pros: The course although smaller than some of its neighboring courses, is a lot of fun. The course is located in a shady park filled with trees, which creates a relaxed atmosphere. The holes are challenging and technical. However, there are a lot of birdie opportunities which is always a plus for the average player. Located on the outskirts of University of Houston campus, there are always college students and famalies in the park playing or having a picnic. This course is fairly easy to navigate even though the signs are a little tough to find. Be sure to look for the colored bricks (blue - short, yellow- long) on the ground.
Cons: The only con I could find besides trying to navigate was the amount of people on the course (which could be considered a pro as well). At times I found myself waiting a little too long between holes yet it was worth the wait.
Other Thoughts: The overall feel to the course was friendly and layed back. This is the type of course that is great for a quick round whether your off to play multiple courses around the area or not. I would recommend this course to just about anyone unless your name is Nate Doss or Ken Climo.

Pros:
21 holes with three sets of tees. Well marked main (red) tees with ~2ft tall wooden posts. Short tees are marked with blue bricks. Long tees are marked with yellow bricks. Most baskets have a spoke painted red which points the direction to the next tee. Ample parking. Transition from #10 to #11 is at the parking lot allowing you to refill supplies.
Update:
New (mid-2010) "crushed asphalt" tee pads have started to wear in, time will tell if they hold up well.

Update:

Cons:
Short and long tee bricks were hard to find without a map, but that's changed since they installed the asphalt tee pads. A few challenging holes, e.g. #16, but in general not the most difficult course. No elevation as the park is almost completely flat.

Other Thoughts:
Holes "A"-"C" play geographically between holes #4 & #5. The warm-up basket is located close to basket #10 on the way from the parking lot to tee #1; it has ~5' interval marker bricks for putting practice. One of the more popular area courses I've played in that there were a decent number of other players out there both times I've been there. A good drive that misses all the trees will leave you with a birdie putt on most holes.

Pros: Great casual course. The kind of park that people go to enjoy themselves hanging out with other disc golfers playing a nice relaxing round of golf. Wooded with some challenging shots, but most holes are very birdieable.
Cons: Not the most challenging course.
Other Thoughts: Long tees can increase difficulty, but the real draw of MacGregor is just to play a casual round not to challenge yourself so much. Great for introducing people to the game and playing in some trees.
