Pros:

- free to play
- tee signs: numbered, listed distances
- forgiving course, beginner friendly
- some modest changes in elevation
- fairly intuitive flow, directional sign between 3&4
- some balance between long and short holes
- allows players to air out long bomber drives
- park well landscaped
- no crowds

Cons:

- natural tees
- some tees dangerously close to baskets
- hole 7 didn't have a real line to the basket
- parts of the course run near a street/parking lot/ pedestrian sidewalk
- too open, layout a little bland at times
- no ceiling for most holes
- very basic amenities: no bathroom, benches, information kiosk, ect
- was unsure if the parking open to public
- not much shade

Other Thoughts:

This college campus course was pretty much what I expected, open, simple, great for learning the fundamentals of dg. Most of the course was open and required a distance driver off the tee. The descending fairways of holes # 1 and #4, were the highlights of the course. The ascending fairways of #3 and #9 were less fun, but will help beginners round out their games on an otherwise flat course. Their were even a couple shorter fairways (#5, #8) that required more precise midrange placements.

I think the course designer did good job with the landscape given even if the overall course experience came off as a little basic. My only real complaints are that a few tees were really close to the previously thrown to basket and hole 7 in general. There's not really a route to basket #7 for a birdie, unless you poke and hope through a wall of trees and bushes. If some sort of window was cut out through that wall of vegetation, it would help create a decent risk/reward shot. As is, players have to throw a descending dogleg right drives half way down the "fairway", then an ascending approach to the basket. I don't get it.

Overall, I think this will be a useful introductory course for students and the general public alike. The fairways are quite forgiving and long enough for enthusiastically drive happy beginners.
