This is where I learned Disc Golf 
Pros: I have such fond memories of playing this course in the early 80's. Back then we all played it with the big trash can lid frisbees and it was a hard course. If I remember correctly the longest hole on the course is 290' and it was a bomb to get out that far when the new style disc golf discs weren't around.
The course is heavily played and it's an ok place to bring beginners or people who are just playing with frisbees. It's more of a picnic atmosphere than a disc golf course as we all know them now.
There are asphault tee pads. There's a restroom at the beginning of course. It also plays in 2 loops so that you can start on hole 1 or 10 with no problem. You will often run in to groups of 10 here so its nice to be able to start on the back 9 so you don't have to follow them.

Cons: This course is best played with old school plastic or with just a putter. It's very short. The shortest hole is 90', the longest is around 290' and there's only a handfull of holes over 200' on the course. There are usually tons of people on the course. The more advanced disc golfers in the area don't go here because there are about 30 other courses in the area. With that in mind you should definitely look out for stray plastic from people who tend to yank every now and then.
There's a couple places where the pins and tee pads are very close together. This wasn't a very big problem back in the day because a big trash can lid frisbee didn't hurt that much when it hits you but the new ones do. So be careful when you're throwing and watch out for stray discs.
The pins have an asphault ring around them that's about 12 feet in diameter. I assume it was an attempt to make a green but what it really does is completely screw you if you skip one off of it on the fly. It makes for a lot of really long putts after good drives.

Other Thoughts: Sometimes I miss the innocent days when Winton Woods was a hard course. I wish I could see the GCFDA Course Challange scores from tournaments played back in the early 80's. If you played a tournament there now you had best shoot about -16 per round or you'll get smoked.

Pros: Short, fun course. Lots of people to play a round with. Mach 3 baskets. Asphalt teepads. Birdies, Pars,and Hole in Ones. Heavily played.
Cons: Longer holes and teesigns.
Other Thoughts: Harbin Park is right down the street. Go play it also.

Beginners or... 
Pros: A lot of different people to talk and or run into. Close to town...
Cons: Very short course, but get out the big floppy and you might understand how this course was engineed.
Other Thoughts: A disappointment for anyone with an advanced rating or better.

Awesome Beginner Course!
Pros: This course is a great short game challange for intermediate and advanced - or a real treat for new players and kids! 18 holes - through fairly dense woods. There are a couple of semi-challenging holes - only because of very narrow fairways. Unlike many beginner courses - this one is not in an open field where you are in constant danger of hitting other players.
Other Thoughts: If you are looking for a challenge - head to Mt Airy, Banklick, Idlewild, Monroe, or Gulley. Great place to take the whole family.

Pros: i think this course could be played in under 30 minutes, maybe faster, pitch and putt, great for simple fun
Cons: concrete slap encircles the base of every pin, if you park it the disc skips a mile away
Other Thoughts: check out the film "discs and dorks" got it on ebay, pretty worthless, but then i noticed where they were playing - says it all

Pros: A pitch and putt beginners course. Every hole should be birdied (2). This course included the shortest hole I have ever seen. 90 feet I believe, straight and only guarded by two trees. I would not ever consider that a real ACE if I would of made it, but it gave us a good laugh.
