Pros:

George Knox Park is a neat little park because the sole purpose is disc golf. Outside of the pavilion with a couple grills, there's nothing besides tee signs and baskets.

Unfortunately, in its current state, this 9-hole course is very disappointing.

Looking at the positives, each hole has a tee sign and a basket.

The layout combines both wooded and more open holes to add some flavor. Different types of shot shaping required to score well here.

Looking at rounds on UDisc, this course doesn't get much play time. If you venture out here, you'll pretty much be alone.

Less than 15 minutes away from one of the best courses in the state, Punderson State Park.

Cons:

Firstly, the wooded holes are WAY too tight. Most of these holes feel like you're throwing down a walking path with how narrow the lines are. Many limbs are hanging over the fairways, knocking down any decent shot. I'm all for tough, technical courses, but this one misses the mark. Could be much better if there was some clearing and general maintenance done.

There are also a couple tees that you have to tee off next to because large, overgrown shrubbery is blocking the fairway.

Tees are natural, some of the barriers that show you where to tee off are missing.

Hole #6 seems to play way too close to the other holes. My second shot ended up skipping off the pavilion to land near the basket.

Baskets are showing signs of their age. Chains are rusted, the yellow colored tops are beginning to fade.

Very little elevation to contend with.

Other Thoughts:

Coming into my round, George Knox Park was one of the few courses that I haven't played in Northeast Ohio. Didn't come in expecting much, so I guess you could say it met my expectations.

I could see this being a decent 9-hole course with a little TLC. Right now, it's just not in a very good state.
