Pros:
Beverly Park is multi use park tucked into a residential area. While I was there I remember seeing walking trails, tennis courts (with people playing pickleball on them), play grounds, pavilions, BMX course(or mountain bike maybe?) and an outdoor work our area.
Baskets - Over all some nice discraft baskets. I wanted to say two of these were kind of wonky, but not enough to not be able to play.
teepads/tee sign - every hole has a cement tee pad and a wooden pole with a small map, the distance and the hole information. All of the holes aren't overly complicated so this is enough here.
Use of land - While there are some navigation issues overall they use the land pretty good. It's also set in 3 phases. First 3 holes are wooded holes that are fairly tight. Middle three holes go down and around a hill using some elevation nicely. They even have nice steps to go up and down making it a bit easier. final 3 holes play in a field with some guardian trees.
Beginner friendly - While most of these hole are fairly simple, they are all fun, and would be a great place to learn to play disc golf and get a taste of the type of disc golf you may enjoy.

Cons:
Multi-Use Park - Overall the disc golf is kind of separated, but people just randomly walk and run throughout this park and can cause issues. The hill holes there was a dude walking up and down the hill, so I had to wait for him to use the other side to play. On some of the wood holes people were just loose trail running.
Beginner Friendly - I loved what this course is, but I assume this will be too easy and not fun for people. I think one hole is over 250 that doesn't play downhill. While I enjoyed this, I assume some may not.
Navigation/Spacing - It has next tee signs, but the walk from 6-7 is pretty unreal, and needs to be noted here.

Other Thoughts:
Overall this is a pretty fun quick little course. If this was near me I'd visit it regularly. I didn't see hardly any issue with water as some have mentioned, and it rained the day before. Also there was a random Jazz concert in one of the pavilions while I was there that was kind of funny.

Pros:
Decent Parking
Terrain changes
Concrete tee pads
All baskets are there and easy to find
There is a map at the beginning of the course
The tee markers are there and accurate
There are plenty of markers pointing you yo the next tee.
Course is good for beginners because you get wooded, elevated and open terrain and the range is short.
Nearly impossible to lose a disc

Cons:
My experience is that all holes were really wet. Everything is set in lower ground that catches water.
This might be boring for advanced players as fairways are short and there are very few obstacles except a couple narrow fairways at the beginning.
Some interference from users of other activities in the park. mostly from a walking path and a playground.

Other Thoughts:
There are 9 holes split into 3 sections of 3 holes each:
The first 3 are in the woods. There were many trees down but cleared of the fairway. There is a pond here that doesn't really come into play unless you really throw wild. These holes were extremely damp.
The next 3 use the sled hill. 2 of which are fired down hill from the top of the hill and the other is behind the hill. Those were wet as well.
The last 3 you had to walk through a long path back towards the parking lot and through the woods. Throw the first of those from the edge of the woods to an open are shared by a playground
. It was wet also and its has not rained in several days.

Pros:
Ample parking
Wood chipped fairways on the holes that could get soggy, (they even had one hole that was a bit of walk through the woods, but it was all a wood chipped path from basket to tee)
Not one, but 2 holes that one threw from a top of a sledding hill.
Decent, color engraved tee signs.

Cons:
Not long enough for my liking, but long enough that it wasn't a pitch and putt course.
non cement tee pads.

Other Thoughts:
This park is in a very well kept neighborhood, I felt very safe despite being close to Detroit. There is a playground and walking path for other park users to go along with this DG course.

Pros:
- Good basic beginner- based layout with a few lefty and righty shots. Several downhill throws. Easy to navigate- solid wood 4*4 posts to mark the long walk and the tees- they won't be easy to vandalize.
- One minor water hazard, maybe only in play for a beginner
- The rough isn't in play on all 9 holes- and while prickly- there is hardly any poison ivy which is rare and shocking for being in the woods.

Cons:
- Long walk between #6 and #7, and big uphill walk twice- worth it for the shot, brutal on a 102 F day!
- Tees are mulch boxes and decent but long term they will be wrecked (this course is 2 days old at this time).

Course #1091 and counting
In response to 1st review- yes good idea to not have holes shooting towards the playground, even though you backtrack to play #8, it's not far, and it would be incredibly risky to have a hole shoot towards a playground even if it wasn't near it, vs. having to backtrack.
