Pros:

Scenic, especially the creek, and maintained very well. Concrete tees and new Discatchers, with nice tee signs (though some were MiA on account of flooding as of writing).

Nice length for a park-style course, and some interesting technical aspects: mandos, water/road OB, and some tighter half-woodsy thinking holes on the back; additionally, nearly every elevation change is being milked for max effect on an otherwise fairly flat property - several sloped greens, a downhill gripper-ripper, a sizable hill/embankment to play around, and then 17 long - a hole I would consider the course's signature. 225 feet (roughly) to the woody short green with an OB creek left, then up a steep slope to the right to a pin with an OB road right.

Practice basket and picnic table up by the parking lot; big wooden spools that work as benches in several holes.

Cons:

The front nine plays relatively open, almost too much so, though this problem can be more or less pronounced based on pin positions. Not subpar for park golf generally, or for the land available, however.

While no fairways cross, there are a few spots where it's relatively easy to hit one tee from another by mistake, which can be a bit awkward if somebody is about to throw from it.

At present, has a few tee signs missing as a result of recent flooding (apparently the course floods occasionally).

Other Thoughts:

Very little shade. Bring plenty of water.

To get to 10, go down past the basket for hole 2; the sidewalk runs under the highway. Walk down Old Waynesboro until you see the course on your right. Alternately, you could drive or jaywalk (though walking over the highway does not shorten your walk).

Swimming (i.e. after a missed drive on hole 14) past the signs signs posted near the dam is prohibited, so... don't put one in the creek there. However, if you go in the water somewhere else, it is nice and clear - a nice change for me.

Pros:

The variety in holes was nice. The front nine are fairly open with some elevation change. The back nine are a little more technical with woods, elevation, and water coming into play. The pads and baskets are new.

Cons:

There is a lack in signage that makes navigating the course slightly difficult. You must go under one bridge then over another to make it to the tenth tee pad. There is also a confusing gap between 13 and 14. The only other issue I had was litter. There was litter on almost every hole despite the fact that there are multiple trash cans on the course
