Pros:
Disc finding 7/10. Not much potential to lose a disc, you'd have to go long on 2 or really grip lock one on 3 or 6. The field has mostly high ankle height grass with a cross-country trail mowed through it.
Variety of distances 6/10. Holes 1 and 2 are very short, 6 and 9 are pretty long, and the rest are around 300-330. Having the short both right at the start makes the mix feel worse though.
Not trying to be mean but that's about it.

Cons:
Variety of openness 0/10.
Decisionmaking 0/10.
Alternate Hole positions 0/10.
Use of obstacles 1/10.
Course Maintenance 1/10.
Variety of Shot Paths 1/10.
Reasonably Challenging all levels 1/10.
The course is designed as 9 holes through a wide open field. The hole 7 basket is missing, so there's actually only 8. The grass is fairly long except for a 5ft wide cross country trail. The only obstacle is a net around the discus throw area near the hole 2 basket that makes you throw left to right. Too long to even be fun for beginners after the first 2 holes.
Navigation 0/10. There is no signage, no tee pads, or even tee markers of any kind. Basket 8 is the only one that you can still read the number so despite seeing every basket you have no idea which is which.
Baskets/Tees 1/10. There are no tees (there is a gravel patch near where udisc shows the first tee, but it's not on any other holes). The baskets are the portable DISCatchers that have a single layer of chains, and many are rusty.
Amount/Use of elevation 2/10. There are a couple of very mild slopes on the middle of the course, 4 plays a little down, while 5 and 6 play a little up. Mostly flat outside of those.
Comfort 3/10. No benches, no shade, no running water. The grass for most of the course is long enough to be a little uncomfortable. There is a port-a-potty near the parking lot. I'm assuming the course gets use from the track and field team (for throwing) and cross-country team during their seasons.

Other Thoughts:
Overall Challenge 1/10.
More Precise Rating 0.682
Don't play this course unless you just want the credit or want to practice drives in the wind with actual baskets to throw to.
This course could move up to a 1.0 if tees are installed (or at least tee markers to tell you which patch of grass to throw from), the basket is replaced on hole 7, and the rest of the field was better mowed. 1.0 is pretty much the ceiling as there isn't much else to work with, just not a good location for an actual course.
