Pros:
Humble Golf Center has all of the amenities of a typical pay to play course: map and scorecard provided, drinks for sale, coffee! for sale, and the course upkeep was immaculate.
The disc golf course plays alongside the previously existing foot golf course. Most baskets are only a few feet from the golf holes and all of them had a big flag with the hole number on top. The navigation is real easy. When I went, there was spray paint leading the way to the next tee. It would have been easy without it, but it made it super simple to follow.
The course was relatively short minus one hole over 400'. An advanced player should shoot fairly well as all of the holes are easily reachable. With that being said, the course is also a great place for new players to start.
There are a few ponds on the course, but they only truly come in play on a few of the holes. There is also a bit of elevation and the course utilizes it well with baskets sitting on the side of hills and a few tees tee off from the top of the hill.

Cons:
The first thing I thought when I walked up on top of the hill from the clubhouse is that there had to have been more than 18 baskets on the course. The holes are jampacked on top of each other. 18 baskets are squeezed inside less than 10 acres of land, not to mention the 18 foot golf holes as well.
It would be impossible to play this course with more than 4 other groups on the course as you would risk hitting others or getting in their way.
I was really confused by the three different 6 hole "courses" all in one. There was a red 1-6, white 1-6 and blue 1-6. I am not sure what the reason for this is since all of the courses played in a similar style.
The course has Instep baskets, which are the worst of the worst when it comes to baskets. Though, there have been extra, albeit plastic, chains added to the baskets, making them catch a bit better.
The holes were short, which is fine, but very few holes had obstacles in the fairway. This land was an old ball golf course, so there aren't too many trees, but I do believe this course could be elevated a bit with some obstacles and adding some challenge.

Other Thoughts:
This course is fine for who it is geared to, which is new players. This course has major flaws with having just too many baskets on the course. If you eliminated one of the "courses" and stretched out the other two, this could have the potential to be a solid 12 hole course.
This is an area that is starved for a public course, with River Grove being private, so it is better to have than not at all. I probably would not play disc golf here again, though foot golf did seem like a lot of fun!
