Pros: Nice easy course for the rookie player or just a nice way to practice up! Has a couple of fun holes, over a ball field or teeing off from a shot put pad! Some tight straight shots to test your accuracy but nothing too long.
Cons: On a school so odd playing hours. Only 9 holes and nothing too challenging!
Other Thoughts: Nothing to write home about, but might as well play it at least once

Pros: Course forces some surprisingly difficult risk reward shots. (IE 6 is a pretty easy bird if you risk it over the ball field, not too many guys can reach it consistently that way. I play on or accross sidewalks are ob, so that even makes the simple 1st hole difficult. I usually have a finishing score (after two rounds) similar to my scores at Edora. Most trees are mature and can offer some protection.
Cons: Again like all foco courses other than Edora, this is on a school and can only be played at certain hours. (summers are great though) Hole three is non-existent. Course would be quite difficult to navigate (especially hole 2-4, and finding a teepad for hole 7) but that only matters once. Fun course to bike hole to hole as most play from sidewalks.
Other Thoughts: Good course, and if you go when there isn't school functions going on, you almost always have it to yourself to practice, safari or just mess around.

Pros: One short water hole(#4) was nice to see, shoot carefully as there are ball fields to the right and water to the left. The back section of holes was more fun for me due to its stretched out nature and large cottonwood trees. You will not find a lot of disc traffic here. Tees are marked on the sidewalk with bright yellow paint. It's good to expose younger people to the sport with this course being located where it is.
Cons: Nothing too spectacular here, I will stop by only now and then. Lots of tall chain link fences on almost every hole which area pain to climb. Most of the time I was here, they were locked leaving only one way in(or over). If there are school activities after hours this course can be somewhat unplayable at times, keep this in mind when heading out to play. No tee signs or mappage anywhere.
Other Thoughts: Hit this course up on a day when no one is around and if you don't throw over a fence it is a lot of fun. If it is in fact too busy, there are 3 other courses nearby to feed the need.

Pros: I thought since it was a highschool coarse that it might just be another short 9 hole, but the coarse is actually really spread out. The holes are pretty spread out, there is even a pretty cool water hole.
Cons: They did construction on the sidewalks on the north side of the building. So there is no hole number 3. So really this is now a 8 hole coarse. It is also really easy on hole number 4 to either lose it in the water or lose it in the softball fields that are fenced in.

Pros: Decent course with plenty of obstacles to make shots challenging. All holes are at good length between 200' and 400' including some open holes, up and downhill holes, and one tricky shot where water comes into play. Fairways are filled with nice grass and a few trees here and there. If played on weekends, there is very little course traffic. The course has 9 baskets again after a few were stolen in the past.
Cons: Some holes play closely around ball fields and tennis courts which can pose a safety issue. Avoid throwing into the ball fields because they are enclosed by a high fence that is a pain to get over. Course play is limited due to high school hours and activities. Long walks between holes makes the course hard to navigate for those new to it. The tee pads are marked on concrete sidewalk areas. Some of the baskets are not quite secured to the ground and can be loose.
Other Thoughts: Overall, a decent, challenging course that satisfies my need to throw!

Pros: Some very technical shots. Water holes and wide open shots to diversify this 9 hole course
Cons: Alot of traffic. A few holes if you fly right or left you could be climbing a 12 ft fence to retrieve your disc
Other Thoughts: This course is ok. Nothing spectacular but a bit challenging. A decent 9 hole.

Pros: UPDATE: At least one more basket has been removed. There are now only two consistently usable holes on this course. As of August 20, 2009 the basket on hole three is no longer in position.
The first two holes are okay for a quick practice or to stretch it out if you are short of time.
Cons: Many of the baskets have been removed and locked fences make it difficult or impossible to retrieve errant discs. The tee pads are painted into the narrow sidewalks and are too short. Some have been removed. Baskets are never moved and there are no accurate maps or guides. This is a forgotten course that gets no care. While school is in session playing time is limited to late afternoon or early evening. This course should be removed from course listings as it has only two playable holes and is on property with limited public access.
Other Thoughts: I play the first two holes if I am passing by at the right time and I have not thrown in a day or two because I have been busy. That is about all it is good for.

Pros: This course is BIG for a 9 hole course. Finding a local or getting a map at Wrightlife is HIGHLY recommended. Once you know the layout it makes a great safari course. Local club put in 3 new Mach III baskets to replace stolen ones. Hope to get all Machs at some point. Would definitely suggest playing the course backwards, but you MUST be cautious how you safari holes 9 & 8, when going backwards(there's a blind corner on a sidewalk).
Cons: Brutal to figure out direction of course. There are #'s on the painted tees, but there is no arrows or anything pointing you in the right direction. 6 of 9 baskets are crummy portables (don't even know exactly what brand, just cheap).
Other Thoughts: This really is a fun course. I would say to find a local if you want to play the actual setup; otherwise, just play some safari and make it into your own course (keeping in mind any pedestrians/students around the school). And make sure not to play during school hours.

Pros: It's good that high school students can get exposed to disc golf by having a course on school property. The holes are long enough to air out some good drives. Only 2 are under 300 ft (249' and 258'), one hole is 492 ft, and the other 6 are 300-399 ft. There is a small pond on hole 4 that adds a little bit of beauty and risk to the hole.
Cons: -When I played the course it only had 6 of 9 baskets. It's very frustrating to try to figure out holes that have no baskets!
-With no tee signs the tees are extremely hard to find. Don't even attempt to play here without getting a map from Wright Life first. The map isn't the greatest; it's very basic, so the first tee is hard to locate.
-There are serious safety issues with many sidewalks, ball fields, buildings, and people around. If you play when other people are around be extremely careful. I hope that no new players whack someone with a disc! -The portable baskets they use aren't the greatest either, but I guess they're adequate.
-Since the holes are long they're more appropriate for more skilled players who can throw farther. The majority of players at a high school are probably newer players with many being brand new to the sport. For them, shorter holes would be more appropriate.
Other Thoughts: My Rating = 0.4 out of 10

My favorite hole was hole 4 because of the little pond that added some beauty and added some risk vs. reward.
