Pros:
If you played many park courses, you've played one like this. Lots of mowed grass and widely spaced mature trees. But no undergrowth or brush to punish your errant drives.
This course offers a surprising variety of hole lengths, from as short as 175' to the longest at 650'. There is very little elevation change along the course, but a winding creek comes into play on several holes and adds interest.
Good flat concrete tee pads in the long (blue) position. They are small, but worked well for me. The red tees are marked only by a buried timber in the ground, and were difficult to locate on a number of holes.
Tee signs were located at the blue tees. Good hole diagram, distances, etc. Each tee also had a sign recognizing the local business that sponsors the hole, which is good to see.
Some of the longer holes were quite good. Hole 3 plays 430' alongside the creek and Hole 10 is a 650' hole along the creek playing to a tree-guarded basket.
The only real elevation comes from the elevated tee on Hole 12, but it is a fun, long downhill drive.
Hole 17 showed an alternate pin position, but otherwise there was a single pin for each hole.
Hole 18 was different in that the tee sign was next to the short tee, with the long tee up on an elevated mound with no signage. The long tee requires a throw over the entrance road, so check for vehicles!

Cons:
The chain ring on the baskets was larger than normal at the top, and the tray seemed a little undersized. If you hit the chains high it was likely that the disc would drop outside of the tray.
A lot of holes had open drives with little punishment for not hitting your line. So par was pretty easy to achieve across the course.
Navigation was a little strange, with the tee for Hole 7 right next to the basket for Hole 2. So there was a longish walk from Hole 2 to 3, and then back from Hole 6 to 7. Print the map and you'll be fine.

Other Thoughts:
I think that the big variable here is the wind. I played on a very windy morning and found many of the holes to be quite challenging. But the entire time I was thinking how easy the course would become on a calm day.
