Pros:
Solid beginner to intermediate course. Elevation and distance are major factors.
Signs - Great signs that are identical to the ones found at the nearby Purdue University Course.
Baskets - 9 very grippy Chainstar baskets that have hole number on them.
Variety - distance varies from just over 215 feet to 600 feet. Several hills and trees as obstacles. Hole one has some statutes as obstacles. Creek flows through middle of course.
Holes 6 and 9 have a small creek as an obstacle. If you throw into here, you can easily retrieve your disc.
Blind shots - holes 2, 6, 7, and 8 have blind shots due to elevation.
Room to improve.
Trash cans and benches on site.
Course is very spread out.
Interesting raised basket on 9.

Cons:
Can be hard to navigate.
Natural tees marked by pink flags. Permanent tees would greatly improve this course. Only one tee per hole.
Long walk for, 1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 6 to 7, and 8 to 9.
Signs - course needs signs pointing you towards next hole, especially after 1, 3, 6, and 9. Course can be hard to navigate for first time player.
No bridge on hole 6 to cross creek.
Hole 5 - In order to avoid hole 4, hole has a mando and hooks sharply to the left. Hole could easily be split into two smaller holes.

Other Thoughts:
Course could easily expand to 12 holes which would eliminate long and confusing walks after 1, 6, and 8. Hole 5 could be split into 2 holes. It would greatly improve flow and make things less confusing.
Adding 2 permanent tees per hole that are not natural and improving navigational signage to the course could improve this course to a 3 or a 3.5.
The rating given to this course does not so it justice. It has much better play than some of my local Indy courses which have higher ratings. I had low expectations and came out very pleased. This course is a solid compliment to the nearby Purdue course.
Had trouble only giving it a 2.5. I will update my review if I see that the play improves.
