Pros:
Very nice dynamic disc baskets!
You can get a golf cart which I highly recommend as they call the course the beast there. Lots of holes to throw as far as you can. Accuracy is still very important with plenty of obs. Beautiful views, and well maintained as it is on a ball golf course. It's a par 62 with plenty of par 4s. Very friendly pro shop promoting disc golf, and listening to feed back. If you play safe and smart you can still score good without big arm. Most golfers were very friendly , and asking questions about the disc course. Only on couple holes will that matter as you can't tee off until 3 pm. Pretty easy to find next tee once you figure out how the course plays. Plus you can get a beer, ice and hot dog and play disc with a cart what's better? Always good footing from tees to upshots with great roller ground but watch those obs

Cons:
There were no maps or scorecards in pro shop for course :/
The tee signs are super faded, and makes it hard to see what hole it is so navigation can be tricky on first couple holes, look for little signs in ground saying disc golf with arrow.
Course is a beast will take a group of 4 around 4 hours even at decent pace couldn't imagine without a cart.
Most obs are fairly obvious however not all marked so can be debated if you go ob or not.
Very challenging which can beat you down if not prepared
Lots of ob that play to close to pin or fairway.
A lot of holes have same type of feeling throw far/safe and play for your par.

Other Thoughts:
This is a great place for disc golf, and serenity pines gives you an entire different type of disc then this. This course isn't for everyone, and I really only recommend to advance players and up. I'm glad they opened this course to us disc golfers and this is a great tournament course if they clearly have the ob area defined
