Pros:
This course has some crazy reviews, since it was only a 6 hole course for a short time, and maybe had multiple pins at one point? I dunno. But this review is for the Watonga DGC that made it to the end of 2018, had 18 holes, tee posts, and white dynamic disc veteran baskets.
Playing around the same bayou as TC Jester, this course kind of felt exactly the same. The elevation was flat, but played across or near the big bayou a few times, there are some wooded holes (and some VERY wooded holes), variety of length and left/right and right/left holes.
I enjoyed my round at Watonga. You go through the small but dense patches of trees, there are some more open holes that play on a path, and a couple holes where you throw across the bayou and if you come up short you'll still be on the hillside.
The hole design is overall pretty good. I enjoyed the varying distances, the lines around the bayou. There were only a couple exceptions that weren't a huge deal.

Cons:
I'm going to start with the strangest one here: Holes 0-17 instead of 1-18. It doesn't effect play at all, but you know it just doesn't make sense and that got under my skin. I didn't knock anything off my rating for it, I just want my equally meaningless protest noted!
The more tangible cons are two small things: One, the course is flat. Nothing to be done, just a symptom of Gulf Coast disc golf.
The second is related to the couple holes that are just crazy tight, throw and pray holes. There are a couple baskets that are just kind of weirdly placed as well. I can't remember which hole, but there's a nice tunnel shot, about 260' or so I think, and then a basket pushed back behind a jail of trees. There was a great space for the basket nearby that would've made the hole better, and putting from 10' away not so challenging.

Other Thoughts:
This course was basically extended TC Jester though, but I really think I liked this one just a little more. Maybe the design was a little better, the baskets are better, but really, you should play them both while you're there. The courses are right next to each other and you can cross the street at the right time and have 36 holes of disc golf uninterrupted.
