Pros:

Kronshage Park-West is one of two nine hole courses onsite here. The course starts by the restrooms toward the middle of the park, same as the East course. Each of them also end by the same place they start so it's a decent design flow wise. If you park in the lot on the west side of the park and wanted to play all 18 or just this course it'd be easiest to just start on either hole 7 or 8 and play the course. This will drop you back off next to the parking lot. We started on hole 7 and it worked great. Made more sense actually.

The baskets are newer Mach's, 3's I believe they were. The baskets themselves are in great shape and caught well enough. One basket and tee pad per hole.

Rubber tees. These are on the smaller side. They have the hole # and distance spray painted onto these. So they double as tee signs too. All baskets are visible from the tee anyway so signs would just be overkill.

The park itself was well mowed and clean. This is in a tiny little town so it's nice that they have 18 holes here. Being such a little town probably means you'll have the course to yourself, as far as other golfers at least.

Cons:

The tee pads are pretty terrible. They're tiny for one thing. They are also not level, lumpy and collect water due to the lumpiness. Pretty awful. I think I'd rather just have natural/grass tees to be honest. The spraypainted hole # and distance just makes them look pretty trashy too. Really ghetto setup here.

The baskets are terribly mounted. Many of them are leaning pretty heavily to the side. I didn't check but it almost seems like they just stuck the poles in the ground and called it good. Wobbly, leaning garbage. Poorly installed course amenities out here all around.

To match the equipment, the design (besides the flow) is also not good. The pavillion, fence by the road, fence by the track, parking lot and some playground equipment come into play. On only 9 holes. That's pretty impressive. Kinda surprised they didn't have you throw over the pool. Missed opportunity there.

Flat and repetitive feeling. All the shots are pretty similar distancewise and just feel the same.

Other Thoughts:

If you're near here it's worth a quick pitstop if anything I guess. I'd probably just keep driving if I were you though. I played the OG east course a few years ago and for the life of me can't remember a single thing about it. The West course will be forgotten by me in short order too I'm sure. Don't say I didn't warn you.
