Pros:

Summer of '16 course has expanded to 12 holes, plus a practice basket.
-Nice mix of left-hand and right-hand fairways. With three fairways 350' plus in the long position, making it a challenging par 3.
-New, easy to follow and easy to read tee pad signs, distance, pin location, par, etc.
-All fairways have 2-4 pin locations.
-Nice cement pads.
-Discraft Chainstar baskets.
-Porta-potties
-Well maintained, mowed grass and garbage cans on every pad.

Cons:

Not much for a 'technical' type wooded course, this is a course a beginner can play. Many of the holes are open shots with very little risk/reward.
It can get kind of crowded at times in the summer, but hopefully with expansion it will help.

Other Thoughts:

4.0+Excellent, although it will never compare to the larger 18 hole courses, It's one of the nicer 'park type' courses around and consider it well above your average 9 hole park course.
