Pros:
Challenging both with length and/or accuracy. Great tee pads and signage. Always a nice clean park, great for families.
Cons:
Parking can get tight near the first tee area. Theres more parking if you park near #9 tee and play the back 9 first.

Cons:
-Navigation is a bit tricky from 8 to 9, 9 to 10, 12 to 13, and 14 to 15. (Bring a map)
-Water at hole 8 is very deep which makes disc retrieval difficult if you end up there.

Other Thoughts:
Me and a friend are from out of town, but we played here while his wife went to a dog show nearby.
I loved the parking area and welcome sign that had the entire layout plus up to date local club postings. We warmed up on the two practice baskets and waited for some locals to come through that we could possibly play with since the layout was unfamiliar. After 20 minutes wait, we went on and played it on our own.
The course itself is not super tough from an obstacle standpoint. The real challenge of this course is to be able to keep your drives low since low ceilings were abundant.
I think my most and least favorite hole was 6. I loved the challenge of either going over the creek or around. (We chose to go over, and paid for it.) While I did not play the hole well, I still loved the layout, view, and challenge it provided.
The course flowed pretty well until the end of hole 8. Without a map or a local, I would not have known where to go for hole 9. Finding hole 10 was similar, but at least there was a sign on the petting zoo showing the path to #10. Going from 12 to 13 was not too bad because there was a well worn path we could follow. 14 to 15 was tricky without a local or map.
The holes on the course reminded me of my favorite course (Munson), so I really enjoyed the round. I gave the course a 4 because it is very good. It would be better if there was some elevation change, and if the layout was more fluid. To be fair, there is not much that can be done on the elevation side since everything is flat here, and I am not sure how I would suggest to improve the flow since they did have to work around other park attractions.
I would definitely recommend playing if you are in the area. This would probably be my go to course if I lived close enough.
3/28/19: Bumped this course up to a 4.5 based on comparison to other courses.

Pros:
Challenging variety of holes for left and right handers. Water, trees, various distances and obstacles add to the difficulty. The huge map by hole 1 tee is a great guide. Take a picture with your phone. There are 9 concrete tees and the others are in grass/dirt. Concrete tees are on the way and hopefully be in by May/June time frame depending on city budget.

Cons:
It's a nice walk in the park, but a long walk between 9 and 10 as well as 14 and 15. Watch out on for water on hole 6, 8, 9 and 15. The water loves to grab your disc.
Other Thoughts:
Beautiful pecan orchard with lots of parking near hole 1/18 and 9-14. Nice restroom (Well its outdoor park quality) is between hole 14 and 15 right in front of the baseball field. Brick with separate men and women. Water fountains are available on hole 14 next to basketball and baseball courts. A great group of golfers play there EVERY every Saturday morning at 10am. (Except second saturday of the month is at Harrington park for random doubles)
