Pros:

- good baskets
- concrete tees
- some of the holes have tee signs
- bathrooms by holes 1
- great variety of distances ranging from 200' to 600'
- great variety of shots required to score well
- some very cool water carry shots if your a righty backhand player
-some very fun technical tunnel shots

Cons:

- almost half the tee signs are missing
- navigation at some parts of the course is very challenging
- multiple fairways cross or come very close together which could definitely cause a safety concern
- hole 17 is sort of a terrible hole, it's a huge right-hand backhand water carry off the tee to a small landing zone with essentially no layup route. The only alternative is to throw your disc along the walking trail that wraps around the water, a very narrow trail.

Other Thoughts:

There are some very cool holes on this course and with some new tee signs and some navigation signs this could be a much better course.

Pros:

First of all this is in a nice park, land well used to make the most of the distance. There are nice arrows pointing where the next teepad is so navigation was very simple being I am not from around the area. Elevation changes, holes with throws going over the water as well as lots of wooded holes.

Cons:

As previously said, the layout is somewhat boring going from holes playing downhill to uphill and back and forth. A couple holes mainly #11 are somewhat dangerous such as if someone wanted a hyzer would play over cars. There were many people in this park with dogs today and almost seemed like they were trying to get in our way on hole #11 as well. This course is one of those where you can hit the line dead center and get screwed over and take a 4 when you think your on your way to an ace run.

Other Thoughts:

I commend Ross Brandt for his efforts as well as fighting the locals and not backlashing. He did a good job with what he was given for land. I feel that hole #11 should be taken out or move the basket left more and move the basket to hole 18.
