Pros:
-- Beautiful setting in the middle of a small college campus. In some ways, it's almost a single-use area, but any green space (especially one in the middle of campus) will draw foot traffic as well as people just hanging out.
-- Tee signs have all of the basic information (distance, par, OB and map).
-- Elevation. It's not huge, but most of the holes have elevation in play.
-- Good use of obstacles (trees). This is not a wooded course, but it's not open, either.
-- Almost no chance of losing a disc.
-- Best hole is No. 8, 250 feet slightly uphill until the final 30 feet, when the grade steepens significantly. Anything short of the basket leaves you a seriously uphill putt. Well-placed trees to navigate make accuracy important.
Cons:
-- Natural tee pads. Most are OK, but at least one has a tree root in it and another has a very large rock.
-- Single-chain baskets. They seem to be holding up fairly well and still catch OK. Baskets are not the same height. Most are really short (too far into the ground) while one is too high.
-- Sometime in the past 2-4 years, this course was changed from 6 to 9 holes. By itself, that should be a positive; however, the space is better suited for six holes. The added three holes lead to a lot of baskets too close to the following tees (1-2, 3-4, 6-7, 8-9). You also have hole No. 5 across the street from the rest of the course to get to 9 holes. In addition, 5 and 6 are parallel to each other, meaning after you play 5, you walk uphill the length of the hole to tee off on No. 6.
-- Areas in the fairways (and the greens in some cases) on holes 5, 6 and 8 are muddy/boggy despite a lack of rain recently.
-- Some baskets (3, 4) are too close to building/parking lots or roads.
Other Thoughts:
-- Only one hole is longer than 300 feet, but given its location on campus and its likely target audience, that works to introduce new players to the sport.
-- I played at 8 a.m. on a Saturday, so I don't know how crowded the area is at other times.
