Cons:
-currently missing holes 2, 5, 6, and 7.
-WAY too close to pedestrians and folks hanging around the lake. Nearly unplayable on a weekend. Blind shots where pedestrians often are.
-holes are very short in most spots.
-holes are too close or cross over fairways too easily

Other Thoughts:
I had decent expectations even though I knew the course had some issues with missing holes. It is absolutely beautiful, but most of our courses in Colorado have that distinct advantage.
I can't recommend making a trip to Palmer Lake just eto play this course. My friend remarked "even if this was my home course, i can't imagine I'd play it very often"

Pros:
It's a 9 hole course with baskets. I suppose beginners might like it.
Cons:
No use of any trees or anything. Basically just a bunch of 250 foot holes. No imagination at all. Seems that no real design work went into this course. Just pedestrian at best. Will not play again unless we can do some Safari holes. Tee pads were not even flat at all.
Other Thoughts:
After playing this course I just wanted to go back to Cottonwood in the Springs where we have a real course with trees and obstacles and actual challenges. Playing at Palmer Lake wasn't much better than just throwing discs in a field.
