Pros:
1) well-maintained, clean course. Everything is still new. Fairways are mowed and manicured. While the rough is indeed very rough, it is easy to avoid
2) A great course to learn the game! Most beginner courses tend to allow any shot you want, but this one will force you to choose, though none of the shots are overly difficult
3)As someone mentioned, the flow is great and the course makes great use of a small space. In general, I think the designers did a great job.

Cons:
1) For anyone who has been playing awhile, the course will not present much in the way of challenge and many of the holes will be repetitive. Some of the slight hole variations may be more noticeable for the newer players they were designed for, but for me it definitely felt like "Buzzz, hyzer line. Next hole: Buzzz, slightly sharper hyzer line. Next hole: Buzzz, slightly flatter, longer hyzer line." This felt like about half the holes. Half of the remaining holes were repetitive midrange anhyzer shots (or forehands) and there were about 4-5 holes that required something different.
2)Hole 9 felt pretty awkward. Also hole 15 has a power line that cuts directly across the fairway 12-15' off the ground. It WILL get hit sooner or later.
3)No distances on the tee signs (I had no idea how much I relied on them until playing here!) To be fair, the distances are posted on the course map next to hole 1.

Other Thoughts:
It's hard to know how to rate courses like this. It seems like on DGCR a lot of times we are rating the difficulty of a course rather than its quality. I settled on 3/5, but a more accurate description than "good" would be "an excellent course for newer players".

Pros:
Concrete pads on all holes.
Trash cans on all holes.
Great course for beginners and intermediate level players.
Great flow.

Great course for beginners and intermediate level players.
Great flow.
Cons:
No tee signs yet.
Hard to know which basket to shoot at without signs because some are blind shots.
Tee pads are a bit short for the bomber holes.
The rough is too high and can make finding a disc hard but does not add to the difficulty.
Too many open holes that have nothing in the way.

Other Thoughts:
Overall, this is a fun and nice course. It is worth a stop if you are passing by. It should be a short fun round and really close to highway 151.
