Pros:

The course is nestled in a pretty little park, and winds through thick hardwoods, tennis courts, and a ballfield. The first four holes are tunnel shots through thick stands of oak trees. Hole 5 wraps around the tennis courts. Hole 6 is the best on the course, mostly open with a few guardian trees. The last three holes are wide open, following around the rim of an open field. Overall the course makes good use of the terrain to provide some variety.

The baskets are new Mach IIs that are well mounted and catch well.

Cons:

There are no tee boxes. The course sign simply says to tee off from "within 3 steps" of the previous basket.

The course is very short, and plays like a "Red" or novice recreational course.

All baskets are visible from the tee, and only one hole requires a shot to turn at all.

Other Thoughts:

It's hard to give this course a rating. If you're looking for a place to bring someone to introduce them to the sport of disc golf or to bring a group of kids to have some fun, this is a perfect spot. It's got good variation without being intimidating, and I'd give it a 3 or even a 4.

However, If you're an intermediate or experienced player, there isn't much to challenge you here. Perhaps it would serve as a place to practice ace runs and upshots, and do a little putting. As a course for veterans, it's maybe a 1 or 2.
