Pros:
definitely fits the "hike with a game attached to it" category. gorgeous scenery, creative holes. some narrow fairways, with elevation change, make for tricky shots. but recovery from bad shots is rarely treacherous. and landscape is desert-mountain, so rarely hard to find an errant disc. and nice little disc golf shop too, with friendly folks all around.
Cons:
a beginner would need to be chill, otherwise would get frustrated with constant tree whacking. the stumps in the fairway noted by others is right. don't plan a throw for a nice skip at the end.
