Fun short course. Great for glow rounds...if you're actually able to play the course 2+ years drive by

Pros:
Fun holes for a beginner or intermediate player. Some challenging obstacles but not overly difficult or frustrating.
Baskets are painted a neon yellow/green and lit by a black light for playing with your glow in the dark or LED lighted discs at night. Really fun!
Access to trash cans, a few benches, and some portable toilets. Well maintained.

Cons:
Hole #1 is a bit too close to a tee ball field, I've seen discs go over the fence too many times including when kids are playing there. Hole #2 is too close to a playground.
Hole #8 fairway has an area that looks like it used to be a road through the park and was only partially removed. Sometimes special snowflakes like to park here for tee ball instead of the parking lot that is made for the tee ball area and their cars and themselves are in the way of the hole. This could be fixed by blocking cars from the area with cement posts or even just some big rocks or something. Hole #7 has exactly the same problem with a little gravel parking lot on the fairway, but it isn't used as often.
I came one day when there was a big tee ball tournament and the course was completely unplayable with many cars all over the fairways.
Natural tee areas get muddy in the rain

Other Thoughts:
This course has its faults, mostly from just being too close to other park features, but I like it a lot. If you're there on a day when the tee ball field isn't being used, or for a glow round after tee ball people are gone it's awesome.
Course could be improved A LOT by blocking off some areas from cars.
*******Update/edit: So I only started playing last Fall. At the time I wrote my review I had played this course a lot through the Fall and very mild Winter this year and had only encountered a big problem with tee ball once. Since then Summer has come into full swing. Every time I have come recently the park is completely taken over by tee ball. They have plenty of large areas to park or practice or spectate, but they are all over the disc golf course any way and couldn't seem to give less of a damn if they are in the way.
The course is pretty much unplayable at this point.
