Pros:
This course is awesome all around and for all skill levels. Small elevation changes through out the course. Tee pads are usually in good shape, given the weather, shoe cleaners at most holes. 1 port o potty in the middle of the course. Course flows well from hole to hole.
Other Thoughts:
Couple more trash cans would be good.

Pros:
- Very wide open area allows players to throw as far as they want to. Usually perfect for trying new driving techniques, or getting a hang of the sport.
- Concrete tees with marked post showing basket number and par, excellent for players that want to keep score easily.
- Baskets are strong and sturdy, though some you might have to really look for. Fortunately, some players have placed flags on top of the more hard-to-spot baskets.
- Plenty of space for you to enjoy your game without feeling any pressure from other players. A bigger course yields bigger gaps in groups.
- Fantastic supportive attitude from fellow disc golfers in the area.
- Like most courses, the difficulty grows mildly every basket. Like basket 1 is much easier than 5, which is very easy compared to 14, etc. This adds a bit of fun to the course.
- Obstacles are fun, and not too frustrating. The hardest one is basket 14, where players have to throw to the basket behind a really big tree and VERY thick grass/bushes. If your disc gets caught in there, ultimately you can get it out. Which is a better alternative to a lake, wherein you'd lose it.
- A full 18 basket course allows players to get a fulfilling experience.
- Totally free
- During the day, especially on weekdays, it's practically empty.
- Very nice surroundings, you can hang out at the park afterwards to practice your throws without interrupting other players.

Cons:
- The tall grass CAN be very overwhelming when looking for your discs. I suggest when playing in groups of 2 or more, have one friend be the observer, watching where the first players' disc goes. When the first player finds their disc, THEN that observer throws, while the first player keeps an eye on their disc this time. It's a great way to maximize your time actually playing the game, and not mindlessly searching for your disc.
- Throw your brightest disc, in coordinance to my last note, it's much easier to find your disc if it's a nice bright, vivid color. I personally throw all yellow, but great colors are also pink, blue, and white.
- Basket 14, as fun as it is, can be very intimidating. After some practice, it's not a big deal, but I've always associated basket 14 to searching for my discs in the lush bushes for at least 30 minutes, no matter what color the disc is. It's more of the actual walking into the giant bush, feeling like you're getting swallowed by a giant foliage monster. But you'll soon find a tactic that works for you to avoid all that.
- This IS a very wide open field. And with that, you have to expect to see animals of all shapes and sizes. I personally have seen chipmunks, birds, snakes, and the occasional field mouse. Not a con, really, but I stepped on a snake a couple visits ago and it bit my shoe. So, just watch your step.
- Speaking of animals, if you play in the evening, prepare to be eaten alive by gnats.
- Since this is an open field, it is very susceptible to windy conditions. But if you have the right disc and throwing technique, it wont be a problem. But for newbies, it can be frustrating at times.
- While it's true what I said earlier, about the nice spacing of groups between courses, there are plenty of opportunities for cross shots between you and another player from another basket. I've only really seen it happen around basket 8. And when you're on 18, yell fore or something to warn people entering the course, since the basket is right on the path leading to the parking lot.
- Unfortunately, there's a lot of people who leave their garbage around. But it's been getting better lately.

Other Thoughts:
In short, this is an ideal course for anyone to play, from the seasoned veteran to the anxious newbie. Just make sure to wear a good pair of shoes and bring plenty of water because you will be walking around in knee-high grass for a while. But it's worth it!
