Cons:
-signage could be better
-hole 8's hidden green is cool but tough to find for the first timer
-certain areas can be very muddy or marshy after a rain
-mostly open so there's not much shot shaping required

Other Thoughts:
Fair Park's disc golf course is a lot better than I was expecting for a small town, city park course. The layout plays around the park lake which potentially comes into play on as many as 5 out of 9 holes. There are two sets of concrete pads and two basket positions on every hole.
The hanging basket on hole 1 is a nice welcome to the course and then hole 2 is one of the highlights. The long tee throws across a small portion of the lake to a basket nestled into a small group of trees. The next few holes play back and forth through a mostly open area and holes 3 and 5 throw toward the lake. The long basket positions on those holes can bring the lake into play if you go long.
There is a bit of a walk from hole 7 to hole 8 that would benefit from a sign pointing the way. There are two more random baskets along the walk that maybe the locals play as extra bonus holes. The area around them was pretty overgrown so it didn't look too inviting. Hole 8 has a cool green that is down a small embankment close to the edge of the lake. It is hidden from view of either tee and the tee signs only have numbers (no maps) so that one was tough to spot. Some better signage all around would be a great upgrade for this course.
The short tees are short enough for beginners and families (averaging 270') and the long tees are long enough that more experienced players won't be completely bored (averaging 345'). When I played the baskets were in a mix of long and short positions (long on 2, 4, 6, 7, 9). That variety is cool for the locals.
At this point I have played all but one of the courses between DFW and Amarillo along Highway 287 and this one might be the best place to stop and catch a quick round. There are better courses in Wichita Falls but Fair Park is closer to the highway and is a fairly quick 9 holes.
