Pros:
Nice tee pads on all holes.
Very good signs at all tees with hole diagram and distance.
Course appears to be well maintained, with fairways kept cut low.
Garbage pails at every tee box.
Water is around most of the holes, but very rarely does it come into play unless you miss your line by a wide margin.

Cons:
Navigation can get tricky in a few places. Bring the map or at least look it over well before playing. Especially note that on hole #3 the pin you see in front of you is NOT your target. The actual basket is hiding behind the large bush on the right.
Water is covered by green scum in many areas, so if you do hit it, you probably won't find your disc.
The out-of-bounds bunkers (from the ball golf course that used to be here) are hard to see until you get close to the green. If you are going to play with them being OOB, it's worthwhile walking up to the green to get a better feel for their size.

Other Thoughts:
While most tee shots are open for anything you want to throw, there are enough challenges near the baskets that this is not a wide open course.
Several holes set-up best for forehands (for right-handed players) so this isn't just a hyzer fest.
Nice variety of distances on the par 3s. You'll throw everything from mid-ranges (maybe even a putter or two) to distance drivers off the tees.
This course makes a great change of pace from the tight, wooded courses throughout western Michigan. It's an excellent course to work on your distance and fairway drivers as well as learning to make all throws in windy conditions.
This is a very fun course and provides a nice mix of birdieable and challenging holes. Favorite holes included the reachable par 4 18th, and the 15th(?) which parallels a large water-filled quarry.
