>Good elevation changes (use of hills)
>Fun course for any skill level, with a good balance of long and short holes
>Some holes had multiple tee boxes for pro vs rec
>Gave par for both recreational players and pros at each tee box
>Good use of the pond on the holes that bordered it.

Cons: >Too open. There were not a lot of trees or other obstacles
>Parking lot is not near the first hole, so it became confusing to try to find it. It was the first time we played this course though, but some accurate markings would have helped.
>The course was very close together, and some holes were placed in very close proximity.
>The hole order was harder to find on the Front 9, since there wasn't arrows or markings leading to the next hole.

Other Thoughts: Overall this course was very nice. It looked like the people who ran the park were trying to plant more trees on the course which was a plus. Also the park had maps of the whole course at opposite ends, which helped to find where the holes were. The course bordered a playground, so hitting the kids might become a hazard during school hours.

That Lake Ate My Coyote! 
Pros: - Adelaide stretches over several moderately-sized hills with several holes abutting a small lake. Most of the course is a wide open grassy field, with elevation providing the main challenge. A few holes have a smattering of mature trees and bushes in play, although no hole has enough to count as "wooded." Water comes into play on several holes, increasing the risk greatly. Safe landing zones are available for all water holes, but errant shots most likely will end up wet, with little chance of recovery.
- Good solid concrete tees throughout. Nice signs provide distances and a rough sketch of the hole layout. Baskets are in great shape. One chain is painted red on each basket: this is the "next hole" marker. Walk in the direction of the red chain to reach the next tee pad.
- For a course without many trees, Adelaide has some very solid risk/reward opportunities. Water comes into play in several places: running along a fairway to the right, running along a fairway to the left, water directly behind the basket, and one hole (#17) with water on both sides. Safe-landing zones make the water holes very fair, but punish errant shots. Elevation is used to its maximum potential. Baskets sit along the tops of several hills, with several potential rollaway spots. The course forces shots both up and down the hills.
- #17 is an outstanding hole that has water to the right and left. The water to the left is slightly shielded by brush and trees growing on the steep slope down the lake. A safe-landing zone is provided about halfway to the basket, but otherwise the fairway is pretty narrow and offers the best risk/reward on the course.

Cons: - Since Adelaide plays mostly over open field, the flow might be slightly confusing the first time through. The red chain "next tee" signage is brilliant and largely alleviates problems, so I don't find this to be too much of a "con."
- Multi-use park may experience some issues with other park-goers and/or with other discers (some fairways overlap a bit).

Other Thoughts: - Not an amazing course, but solid through and through. I'm very partial to wooded, adventure style golfing but this open, grassy, park-style course had me wanting more. The water holes and those with risky, rollaway-prone pin placements offered plenty of danger for the round.
- Great for glow rounds. Impossible to lose a disc (unless it gets wet).

skater park 
Pros: Great challenging holes, Nice clean park. DOG FRIENDLY(love that and so does my dog), hole 17 was wonderfully difficult from the pro.
Cons: Course needs to be mapped out better got turned around couple times and holes are marked with two different numbers, Bugs !! Its next to a skater park so there were a bunch of immature teens that I saw making fun of a couple adult players.
Other Thoughts: Great place to go over all. We enjoyed playing and would return again. Don't forget the bug spray.

A little too open 
Pros: This course plays through a mostly open park with some scattered trees and grassy fairways. There is some nice elevation with a small sledding hill and a couple other rolling hills throughout the park to make it a little more interesting. There are a handful of water holes that add a little risk, especially the couple with elevated pins with the potential to roll down into the water. Hole 17 was the most interesting with the pond to the right and a drop off into woods with a creek on the left, and enough distance to tempt you to really throw a drive.
There are nice signs here with hole layout and distance, and they include contours to show the elevation changes. There are full course maps at holes 1 and 10 so you can start on either side of the park and still see the course layout. The baskets are in decent shape and catch well, and have one chain painted red to point the way to the next tee.

Cons: The holes get quite repetitive here, with most of them being pretty wide open with only some small trees and some minor elevation as obstacles. The wind can be a factor here, but I found most of the holes had wide open spike hyzer routes for either hand that take the wind out of play. Other than a couple holes, the course is pretty short and doesn't really provide much challenge or variety to really test different parts of your game.
Other Thoughts: This is a fun short course with some minor elevation and some nice water hazards. It's a little to open and short to be really challenging for more experienced players, but is a fine course for beginners to try out the sport with only a few spots to lose a disc and not too much length. If you're in the area, it's worth a quick round but don't drive out of your way for this one.

Great Course Pros: I finally played 6 holes and this course for me was very challenging and since i am a beginner and new to the disc golf world the course in my opinion is some what forgiving even though it was my first time playing on it and i should get a better feel for the course after i've played it a few more times.
Cons: there isn't any small maps of the layout that people can use, like the ones they have up near holes #1 & #10.
Other Thoughts: Hopefully someone will read this and actually create some smaller maps of adelaide park disc course that people can carry with them.

Adelaide Park DG Course 
Pros: out of the 18 holes, i played 6 of them and found that they were very challenging.
Cons: Course layout was a bit confusing for me as it was the first time i ever played the course.
Other Thoughts: only reason i rated Adelaide Park a 2.0 is because it was my first time playing the course and the holes were a bit confusing.

nice little course 
Pros: Holes #1, #3, and #17 are holes you would enjoy anywhere. There is a lot of elevation here and buckets placed on hill sides; thus, landing placement is important. This tests you're skills is that area. Regarding navigation: the side of the chains have been painted red in the direction of next tee. Sounds like it would not work that well; but, actually this an extremely useful tool at this course; which has been redesigned a number of times. I repeat; RED PAINT ON CHAINS, will lead you easily to next tee. Water holes on the course are nice. #6 and #17 are solid/fairly difficult water holes. Nice tee signs and tee pads; concrete. I believe yardage on #2 is incorrect; hole does not play 360, but other than that, yardages seem to be correct.
Cons: This is a short course. Advanced or better players will need to make putts and score on most holes. Disc course has been relatively full nearly every time I've been there.
Other Thoughts: As with most courses, wind adds to the difficulty of play. With many pins located on hillsides, this course plays tougher than many courses in windy conditions. Adelaide was originally a nine hole course. As an 18, it is rather short, but a nice enough course all the same. I believe the latest layout has used the water the best of all designs. Holes #5 and #13 should IMOH be placed even closer to the pond edge for added toughness.

Mellow Course 
Pros: On certain days when the weathers 90 degrees and not a cloud in the sky, you don't really want to be looking for your frisbee in a massive tree or clump of bushes. This course has nice distances, real nice hill shots structured around a big hill in the middle and launching in three different directions I think... at least two different dierections and then back up one of the sides lol. I did lose a wolf to the pond on hole 17, I was upset because I'd been having a really good game of 6 under playing them all par three and then boop... in the water with my wolf. There were people swimming around feeling the bottom for frisbees, seemed a very relaxed course for being next door to a skate park. This course has all the major disc golf food groups (water/wood/field/trick) it just lacks difficulty which is what makes it oh so perfect for a blazing day in the sun.
Cons: The markings are confusing. You put a frisbee in a basket and then look around... and look around... then you see a sign rotated in your direction and that's where you go. It's bad for a first timer to the course but if it's in your backyard it's not a problem.

Just Okay 
Pros: Pretty park, allowed the illusion of being in a relatively natural area while in the city. The pond in that forms the structure of the back 9 is aesthetically pleasing, as well as providing a hazard for several of the holes.
I really enjoyed the elevation changes on many of the holes; throwing both up- and downhill. The baskets in most cases provide good hazards, from the hole one tee pad you can see the basket through a small tunnel in a large group of trees and bushes that realistically you have to throw around, but that tunnel is awfully tempting. Lots of little things like this make the course endearing.
Hole 17 is special, a nice long drive down a narrow fairway, with the pond shore on the right and deep hill into bushes on the left.
Easy to find, and within range of many necessities given that it's right in town. Good tees, baskets are in good condition, locals were friendly.

Cons: If you play this course regularly, I'm sure you have a great time with it. I struggled due to the lack of signage to literally find where I was going. Only the first two holes have tee signs, and while some baskets have arrows pointing in the vague direction of the next tee, and some tee pads have a small arrow pointing to the next basket, it's really hard to tell where you are going. After throwing my drive on hole 6, I approached the basket only to discover it was labeled 8. I looked to my left and found myself looking at basket 5, which was not the basket I holed out 5 in (my basket was also marked 5).
Complicating matters, the fairways are generally wide open, and not specific to one hole or another, making things even more difficult in terms of navigation. I played all the holes (I think), but couldn't score the round because I couldn't assure what hole was what on several.

Other Thoughts: From what I gather, this course is being restructured, or has been, and this would explain a lot of the problems I had. I felt as though with the proper signage, the experience would have been much more enjoyable to me.
Still, this course is never going to be world class - it's just not that type of course. With correct signage, I would rate it a 3.0.
That having been said, the course is a lot of fun. The elevation changes are smart how they are designed, and provide for lots of challenge. The use of the pond as a hazard on several holes is also well done. In spite of the problems, I had fun with this course.
If someone wants to let me know if new signs get put up, I would gladly re-play and re-review the course.
