Pros:
1) Discatchers on this course are nice because of the ease in finding the baskets.
2) Portopotty near the 1st hole (on the path to the soccer fields).
3) Fairways seem to be mowed regularly or at least they happened to be mowed shortly before I came to play. Either way I am giving them credit for mowing those lanes to throw down.
4) Prairie areas seemed to be maintained as it was mostly grasses and some wildflowers. The major weeds seemed to be contained and that is a good sign this course will be consistant.
5) Decent layout and flow of this course. It is fairly self explanatory as the tees are no more than 50' or so from the previous basket.
6) Very beginner friendly because of the hole distance as well as the overall distance, and when you factor in the fact there are no trees in play it is as simple as it can be.
7) 9 ace runs and one hole (#8) you really might feel embarrassed if you don't get an ace or at least a birdie.
8) Slight to moderate rolling fairways add to the challenge available here. Nothing extreme and really not many rollaway potentials, but still worthy of mention . . . this course is not what I would call flat.

Cons:
1) Baskets seemed to be uneven heights and also some that didn't seem to be level.
2) Rubber tees generally are better than grass but not in this instance. They were lumpy and a couple of them were unusable due to the fact that you might break your ankle using them. Something had washed underneath the rubber causing them to be lumpy.
3) Bad footing in the fairways although that really should only affect beginners because anyone else should be able to get very close to any of these baskets and have a simple 30-50' putt at most.
4) Shot selection is minimal . . . pick your favorite line and you will do just fine because on any given hole any line is possible.

Other Thoughts:
This is what it is . . . a beginner course with simple short holes and minimal obstacles. Will I likely return . . . no, but does that mean it is a bad course . . . no. Whoever designed it well did a great job for the property and they continue to maintain it to keep the challenge at an appropriate level. I will not likely ever play it again unless it is the only one I can get to, but if I was a beginner learning the game I might very well play this course over and over.
