Pros:
The South Course has the same great amenities as it twin, the North Course, that is, the nice tee signs with the map pictures, multiple concrete tee pad all nice and long although somewhat on the narrow side, same decent baskets. The terrain is basically the same as the North Course. The South Course (This one) is just a little longer, a little more technical and that much more difficult. This is no recreational courses. I would definitely call this an intermediate course.
My signature hole is # 2. It's either play 325' or 400' and offers you a choice, throw a big hyser around this large cropping of trees OR try the risky move and try to cut the distance by throwing across this very narrow cut out path. I think is one of the coolest Risk/Reward holes not involving water that I've seen on a course anywhere.
There were lots of other holes which offered challenge here.# 7 plays 219-280-285, is straight but has trees and a guide wire in the direct route.
# 7 is 330-350' with a narrow slanting fairway with multiple trees. I threw a great back handed roller which found it's way through the trees and rolled even to the basket. Putt for a birdie!
Cons:
Like others have commented on, there are holes that play over, around and through picnic and play areas. On busy use days, players may have to improvise and take other routes or play safari on a hole or two.
Long walkout and confusing around # 4.
Windy as hell today!
Other Thoughts:
Easy on/off freeway access off I-70 makes for a great pit stop on your cross Kansas journey. As an added bonus, stopping and playing both the Lakewood North and South 9's will add two courses to your courses played total. A definite plus for a course bagger like myself!
Play the North course 9 as a nice warm-up and then give yourself a more challenging 9 holes with the South 9. Makes for a nice 18 holes of discing!
