Pros:
Unity High School DGC plays on the north side of the school. Hole 1 will be on the northwest lawn area. Holes 2 and 3 play north after hole 1. Hole 4 will be to the east of 3's basket in the wooded area. The next 4 holes play through paths in the wooded section before hole 9 opens back up into the lawn area again.
No tees or signs of any kind. It's fine if you can find hole 1 I guess. Tee signs would go a long way here.
It says on the home page for this course that the baskets are DISCatchers. That is not the case unfortunately. The baskets are Quikshot portable baskets by Gopher. I've never heard of these but they were actually pretty decent. They have the number plates on the top like Mach's. Most are really faded but they are still readable, barely. This helps to know you're throwing at the right basket. I changed the basket type on the main page to generic/unknown now.
The course is permanent and free to play. I doubt there's hardly ever anybody out here so you should have the place to yourself. Would probably be a better winter course than summer. Early spring even.
The course starts and ends pretty close together.

Cons:
As is the case with any school course, it's not playable during school hours.
The lack of tee signs and pads made navigation a bit tricky. Holes 1 through 3 is fine but the next 6 are a pain in the butt. You'll end up backtracking multiple times and walking trails to nothing, backtracking and trying a different one, etc.
The rough off the fairways is THICK after hole 3. There is potential for a lost disc in quite a few spots. The prairie grass gets tall and thick in the summer. By aware of about where you land.
As is the case pretty much everywhere in northern WI. The bugs are voracious in the summer months. Biting flies more than mosquitoes, at least on the day I went.

Other Thoughts:
Nothing to go out of your way to play. I mostly just wanted to get a review up for this one at least. That said, it's not a bad course by any means, but it's not the most exciting one I've ever played either. A tiny bit better than your average school course because of the wooded section. But that is also the most frustrating part of the course. I wouldn't recommend this one, but if you need to play it, it's doable at least.
