Pros:

This is a fun course that will challenge experienced players on several holes.
Lots of trees and low-ceiling shots force you to hit different lines and think about shot placement.
It has concrete tees, excellent signage, decent flow from hole to hole, good upkeep, and very little rough/long grass where you could lose discs.
There is also a pond that comes into play on several holes and an opportunity to throw long drives.
The baskets are awesome and very high quality.

Cons:

My biggest gripes with this course are the crossing fairways and pin placements that will bring discs close to playground and picnic areas.
It's only a few holes, but it's worth mentioning due to the safety risk.
It seems like the course designers really wanted 18 holes and the course ended up feeling a bit cramped in one area as a result.
It could get hairy on busy days if there are other people at the park or even several groups playing at once.
The concrete tees are nice but could be a little bigger on some holes.
There is little in the way of elevation change and most holes are a similar length.

Other Thoughts:

All in all, this is a nice course and worth playing if you are driving through the area. The people who put this in did some really nice work and should be happy with the result. It's great to see courses like this popping up in small communities.
