Pros:

Cedarcrest Park DGC is a pretty typical city niner. This course is accessible to both newer players and more experienced folks alike due to the shorter distances. Most players with solid distance off the tee will need little more than a putter or mid on most holes.

There are concrete tees on eight of the holes with holes 2 and 8 sharing a tee. These are on the shorter side but are more than enough for the lengths out here. All were nice and level and work much btter than grass or dirt.

The baskets are MVP Black Hole Pros. These are nice baskets and caught well themselves. One basket and pin placement per hole.

Pretty solid flow to the course. Easy to follow your way around and starts and ends near the same area. I highly doubt that it'll be real busy here either. Very quick place to play a round or two.

There's a few wooded holes and a few open holes. It's split fairly evenly this way actually, which is nice. The course is mostly flat. There's some very slight elevation change in the wooded section I guess, but pretty negligable.

Cons:

These baskets are in pretty rough shape. The paint is faded pretty badly, which isn't necessarily a bad thing since they're black originally. The main issue is how most of the aren't mounted very level and 5 or 6 of them have rebar rods stuck into the ground by the pole to stabilize them. This makes putting tricky, isn't actually straightening them out and it looks awful.

No tee signs of any kind. Not a huge deal with the shorter distances. But my wife did end up throwing at 9's basket, which is nearby 2's, and is in a much more visible location. I had to walk up the fairway a few other times to spot the basket before throwing too.

Hole 1 is pretty awful. You tee off throwing right at/over the baseball fence. I can only hope that they put the ball diamond in AFTER the course was already here. Either way it's a pretty terrible way to start the round here, and just a terrible hole in general.

Holes 3 and 4 play in a creekbed. Literally IN a creekbed. These are probably unplayable most of the spring and certainly after any substantial rainfall.

Other Thoughts:

This one is a quick enough play if you find yourself nearby. Personally I'll never be back, just nothing for replay value unless you live nearby. And even then I'd probably never play here. One of the weaker courses I've played in the area.
