Pros:
Some variation in hole length. Berms provide a bit of challenge on a few holes. Baskets caught well (but see cons). Decent sized concrete pads (but see cons). Friendly folks walking through the park.
Basic tee signs on posts describe the flight path and distance, and make spotting the next tee easier. Ample parking lot right next to hole 1.

Cons:
The tee for hole 5 slopes steeply uphill, and the tee for hole 6 slopes noticeably side to side. In addition to the sloped tees, several baskets were noticeably off level.
Except for the berms, this course is flat and almost completely wide open. Hole 8 has a few moderate-sized saplings on the fairway, but you can take them out of play with a righty sidearm.
Safety hazards abound. Blind throw up the walking path on hole 1, with a cinder block building that hides pedestrians. I laid up my drive short and chipped up to the basket, which was good because a person I could not see was walking near the basket.
You can stand on the tee for hole 2 and touch the basket for hole 1 (again, the hole 1 basket is blind from the tee). Holes 1 and 2 share the same fairway, but play in opposite directions. Yeesh.
Almost all holes play across or near the walking path. Multiple people were out walking when I played on a pleasant Sunday in May. Fortunately (except for hole 1), pedestrians are visible from the tees.
Hole 8 plays across the entrance driveway, and exiting cars can sneak up from behind you as you tee off.
I did not find hole 9, so there is a fairly long walk back to parking lot after playing hole 8.
Ticks were prevalent in early May. I found one on the dog, and a disc golfer I met had picked up a tick.

Other Thoughts:
Disclaimer: open, flat, and windy courses are my absolute least favorite to play. This is an open, flat, and windy course and I did not enjoy playing here. Bag it if you must, but the best I can say is that it will not take too much of your time. Maybe if they plant a lot of trees this will be a lovely 9-hole course in a decade or two.
Course was dry when I played, but I would not be surprised if low-lying areas (much of the course) held water after a good rain.
It was windy when I played, so I had ample opportunity to work on my wind game. Spoiler alert: I still play lousy in the wind. Perhaps my bag of mostly understable 150-class discs has something to do with it? Nah, must be something else.

Pros:
The walk from basket #1 to tee #2 is a couple feet.
The concrete teepads are of decent size.
There are some distance challenges.

There are some distance challenges.
Cons:
A walking path is in the midst of holes 1-6, the last ~75' of fairway #1 completely blind.
I could say tee #6 was the most titlted I'd every played, except tee #5 was doubly bad.
Bog potential for portions of most fairways.
If hole #9 doesn't exist by now, I think this course should be listed as a 8=holer.

Other Thoughts:
Course plays in the open space of a community park.
Primarily wide open, the exceptions being:
1) After ~250', need a blind right turn down a tunnel ... which most unfortunately hosts a walking path
4+5) A berm forces slight up-n-over shots
8) A few tiny trees to throw over or go around near the basket.
Add it to your played list, then head for Codorus.
