Pros:
+Overall a very nice park. Pool, playground, picnic tables. Well maintained. Mature trees. Grass looks to be mowed often.
+10 nice Innova Discatchers. All have number plate on top.
+Tees are marked with hole # and par. They are concrete.
+Ace runs galore. 8/10 holes are true ace runs and the other two are ace-able.
+Won't lose a disc here.
+Great place for beginners or practice. One disc rounds would be fun too.

Cons:
-Super short- 191ft per hole average and that is brought up quite a bit by the two longest holes. Take out those two and it would be around 160 average.
-Not a ton of variety in length of shot. 8/10 holes felt the same.
-Not much for challenge. A few trees in the way here and there but overall, easy to avoid.
-Multi use park, be careful. Smaller town shouldn't have too much traffic here but you never know. One of the holes played right over most of the picnic tables. Sidewalks intersected a few of the early fairways.
-Tees are super short. Like 3' by 3' concrete. Just fine for most of this course.
-The weirdest part about the whole course was that none of the baskets were locked into the collars. I first noticed that some of the number plate weren't facing the right way and I was confused. Then I bumped one while grabbing a disc out of it and the whole basket spun. I looked at the base of every one and none of them had a padlock on it. Pretty amazing that this course still has all of its baskets and that they were all in place when I played.
-Very open course that could be relentlessly windy.
-No signage. Once you know what you are looking for, it's not hard to navigate but finding hole 1's tee wasn't the easiest.

Other Thoughts:
-This course was doomed to a fairly low rating by two things; the parcel of land used and the lack of DG experience by the designer. The land isn't too interesting but it is big enough that a more experienced designer could have done a bit more with it. The course doesn't have to be as short as it is.
-I probably won't stop here again. Unless I have an ace race in mind, I just didn't have too much fun. I shot a 22 (10 holes) and only used a Buzzz and an Aviar.
