Pros:

Surprisingly fun course plays through an apartment complex. It is a quick round of mostly short holes that does a good job of avoiding dangerous situations. The first three holes are by far the best. There is a small creek, crossed by several wooden footbridges, that runs through the back part of the property and the first few holes all use that feature well. The tee shots force you to navigate banks of trees while attempting land near the basket and stay dry. I was immediately impressed with how fun these holes looked. And they delivered.

Cons:

After that, there are some long walks between sets of holes and the remaining six aren't nearly as interesting. 4-6 are short and they run closer to the buildings than the other holes. Much more pitch and putt. 5 is the only hole that risks hitting a building, though it would require a griplock to do so. 4 throws over a dog park and it's hard to find the tee. (It's not right next to the sign)
Additionally, make sure you have access to the map, as it can be hard to find the tees and they are often far from the previous basket. 9 leaves you with a very far walk back to 1.

Other Thoughts:

The last three holes are longer and play on a big field at the front of the complex, as well as a patch of narrow grass that allows 8 to be a dogleg. It all makes for a really nice course for residents. A few short technical holes and a few chances to air it out. The field has more than enough space to practice drives, even if you don't to play to the baskets. 7 is downhill and over 300 feet but if you play back up the hill, there is over 500 feet to the woods line.
It's also very close to I-40, (half a mile) so it is very easy to stop by.
