Cons:
Campus roads are used for fairways on 5 of the holes.
Tee markers are paving stones, on the ground, so some are a little tough to spot.
Tees are mostly natural, some are concrete, where available nearby.

Other Thoughts:
Corporate campus course here in the Triangle area. Intended for use by LORD Corp employees and guests only, I played on a winter afternoon and was never approached.
I got the feel as I was playing this course, that the corporate overLORD types that were gracious to allow a course on their campus, added the stipulation that no (or very few) trees would be cut down to install the course. Because of that, over half of the holes use campus roads as a major part of the fairway:
#1,2,3 - starting behind a campus building, these are all pretty much the same, tee off beside the road, to a basket usually just a few feet off the road. There is some grass on the shoulder of the road, but usually not much. The good thing on these three holes is that the road just leads to the backside of this building, so probably doesn't get much traffic.
#5 - basically an island green, you have to throw over a small intersection, so pretty manageable.
#9 - probably the biggest issue here, and the hole you see as you drive onto the campus. This appears to be a pretty busy road ... and the basket is just a few feet off that road.
There does appear to be plenty of unused space on the campus for wooded holes, hillside above 1,2 and 3, and the entire wooded valley between the two sides of the course (between 1-4 and 5-9). So, for speed and ease of installation, and the use of roadways, I'm guessing there were restrictions on the layout of this course.
Two of the holes fit in very well on this course and were fun to play:
#6 - concrete tee on a sidewalk/parking lot, across beautiful grass that drops down, then back up, with a light pole right in the middle (in front of the tee), so you have to choose left or right.
#8 - short, downhill ace run around large old growth tees.
I think it would be great to have a course right on your work campus, so kudos to those who gave the greenlight for this course.
