Pros:
There are a lot of positives about this course: great baskets, great signs, long throws, short throws, some technical throws. The course is relatively easy to navigate and begins and ends near the parking lot. The course is on a park so it seemed to be well taken care of. Overall, I think is this a very fun and relatively short course that beginners and intermediates will enjoy.
Cons:
This course really isn't very challenging to experienced players and the holes themselves are relatively simple and open for the most part. More importantly there doesn't seem to much in terms of classic or iconic shots to set this course apart from any other. This is pretty much a basic course due to having not much to work with (in terms of landscape in the park). I will say that I think that the developers did a good job in designing a course with what was available on the land provided.
Other Thoughts:
Here a few helpful hints for the course:
Make sure you read each sign for the hole because it tells you where the next hole is on the layout, so you know where to walk next. One exception where the layout is wrong is finding hole #6 - after completing hole 5 turn left and hug the wood line until you see #6 going into the woods. Most of this course hugs wood line so if you are walking out into a large empty field you are going the wrong way. Second, the distances on the signs seem to sometimes read longer than they actually are. Finally, the last thing you need to know is that Hole #8 is the best on the course. It is a great 375' hole with water to the left (making this a great hole for those throwing RHBH or LHFH). Make sure to enjoy this hole.
In conclusion, I enjoyed playing this course but do not see myself driving back to it again. I recommend only playing this course if you live nearby or happen to be driving near it (don't go out of your way for it).

Pros:
Nice variety in holes.
Seemed to be well taken care of.
Concrete tee pads (most of them are part of the walking path)
Restroom facilities available.
Some trash cans spread around the course.
