Pros:
Fun short 18 hole course playing in and out of light woods and meadow type land. Every hole has fair and defined paths to baskets. Good variety of flat and slighly sloped. A course of this length could easily be repetitive, but I felt the design offered good variety and an interesting look on each tee.
Great course to introduce new people and a perfect place for kids, as the holes are short yet interesting.
In reality this plays like a par 36-40 for experienced players as most to all baskets are reachable with a putter off the tee. However, there are enough trees and slopes that will likely lead to some scores of 3 or even 4 during your round.
The only time I used a driver was to play a hyzer skip shot, other than that it was mids and putters. But this is a fantastic course to play as a means of practicing your accuracy and short game.
Has everything you need: 18 baskets, concrete tees, and nice tee signs, plus an ample parking area and course map kiosk. Fairways are also already broken in quite nicely for being a new course and this should only improve as long as it gets regular play during the summer months.
Quick play. I could easily see myself coming over here and playing it 2-4 times in a row trying to see how low I can go.

Cons:
Not a whole lot. It clearly has the intent of being a short course and does the job admirably. But eventually any serious disc golfer will want to explore more challenging and longer courses.
I would have liked to seen a bit more forced curved shots, especially to the right. Most holes played straight ahead.

Other Thoughts:
Clearly the best course in Mt. Juliet. Mundy is getting run down and has terrible baskets. Jones Bark Park is only a mini-marker course. Downside is any locals who become addicted by playing here will have to drive a ways to find a course up a level.
These courses are always tough to rate. As far as beginner courses go, this is one of the best I have played. Reminds me of the shorter course at Cane Ridge but a bit shorter and without the extreme elevation. I gave CR a 2.5, so Ethan Page is just a touch below it at 2.0 (or Reasonable according to the DGCR description) which I think is a fitting way to describe it.
