Bizzare Little Course Set In A Pretty Park! 2+ years

Pros:
Paseo Verde Trailhead Park is a great little neighborhood park. It's built along power lines and is only about a block wide, squeezed in between the street and the neighbor's yards. The park is nicely landscaped with desert plants before sloping slightly downhill to larger expanses of lush, green grassy areas. There is a nice little playground at the start along with restrooms.
The disc golf course starts here by the bathrooms. The course has a course map at the beginning, nice little concrete pads, simple tee signs and brand new DGA baskets with the red numbers on top.
Starting off with the first four beginner holes. I thought this was going to be one of those great little, short courses, perfect for beginners and newbies. The first two holes are less than 150' open ACE runs. # 3 was slightly more challenging, throwing uphill over the brush and a fence but still a fun, challenging throw. # 4 was a 195'straight shot but with a pole and garbage can directly in your way.
Then course navigation got really strange. You come to a nice large downhill section of lawn, a perfect place for # 5. But instead of throwing a fun little downhill here, you have to walk clear to the far downhill end to find the tee pad and a basket with no number. The remaining holes are open, longer and not nearly as interesting as the first four and didn't seem to belong on the same course.

Cons:
Listed pars are great for elementary players like # 7's 300' Par 5.
Navigation is surprisingly confusing for a simple little 7 hole course.
First four holes have distinct possibilities of hitting neighbors, houses and cars.
Had the designer decided to really keep this course short (holes under 200'), they could have easily put in 9 holes.
Missed opportunity after # 4. This is such an obvious spot for # 5. An easy 275' downhill leading to the final holes.

Other Thoughts:
As the course stands now, I don't know who's going to play it. The navigation difficulties will keep some players from returning. The first four holes, although short, are not necessarily beginner friendly.
I was really prepared to like this course after the first four holes. The back three was so disappointing!
