Pros:
-- Good use of land. There is no water, but most holes have some amount of elevation change. A lot of that is in the 10-15 foot range. The land is mostly sparsely wooded (holes 6 and 15 are an exception), but the trees are well used.
-- Map of the course at the pavilion near parking lot and tees for 1 and 10.
-- Practice basket.
-- Concrete tee pads are nice and level. Could be a little longer. I think they are 10 feet long.
-- Best examples of making playing the same basket twice feel like two holes are 5/14, where the tee pads are in different directions from the previous basket, and 6/15 where the tee pads are next to each other but the trees create different lines to the basket.
-- Not a lot of seating at the tees, but there are benches, mostly along the walking path.
-- Quality Innova baskets.

Cons:
-- Overlapping fairways and numerous other safety issues. Some of this is bound to happen when you have 9 baskets and 18 tee pads, but this course is extreme in that regard.
-- In addition to the dual tee pads where the shorter (back nine) is in a direct line between the longer tee pad and the basket (8/17, 9/18), you've got tee 4. A RHBH shot from there could hit some standing on tees 13, 11, 2, 5 or 14. And basket 9/18 sits near the edge of a skate park. It appears the skate park was put in after the disc golf, but this is still a safety issue. An overthrow of 30 feet on a 250/330-foot hole could hit someone.
-- Short course. Only two holes are longer than 300 feet; one is a downhill throw (4) and the other is a wide-open fairway (9).
-- The walk from 9/18 back to the parking lot is longer than 500 feet.
-- No restroom or water at the course. I assume those are available at the pool when that is open in the summer months.

Other Thoughts:
-- This is listed as an 18-hole course, but it really feels like a 9-hole course with two tee pads per hole.
-- In addition to the safety issue on 9/18, this is a boring finishing hole. Eighteen plays 250 feet completely open except for a couple of trees near the basket. But there are not enough trees that I would call it guarded.
-- After 5/14, cross the road and head toward the skate park to reach 6/15.
-- Tee signs are not attached to posts. Most are on nearby trees, and some are well above eye level.
