Played the course:once
Pros:
Open holes great for beginners or just letting some drive rip.
Cons:
Not a single marking or tee sign. I couldn't find hole one because most of the baskets aren't marked either. I found 1 teepad, threw to what I assumed was the correct target and then didn't know what to do after. There is no flow to to course, at least not one that I could figure out.
Other Thoughts:
Go here with a local if you want any idea of how it's played and where to start.

Played the course:once
Pros:
There are concrete tee pads and bright yellow Disc-catchers on each hole.
The park has a safe atmosphere and had a good amount of traffic, although none of it interfered with the course. This park has a swimming pool, new-ish tennis courts, a volleyball pit, baseball fields, fun looking playground equipment...and somehow I'd never heard of this park.
This is a good course to introduce someone to the game. There are no crazy shots required here. There is some distance to content with, but nothing that would frustrate a casual player. It would require a phenomenally bad shot to lose a disc here.
The course will eventually have "B" tees.

Cons:
There is no real challenge here for intermediate and above players. Despite the course name, it is completely flat. And there aren't enough trees to really get in the way. I didn't find myself having to put a lot of thought into my next shot.
There is a very long hole (600'+) and one where the tennis court comes into play, but otherwise the holes are basically the same.
There aren't any tee signs, although navigation wasn't too tough. Start by the gazebo near the pool and aim at the basket in front of you (not the one farther away to the right). The only other tricky part is the long hole (#6?): the hole is far away in the other corner of the park, across the wide open field.

Other Thoughts:
Six months ago Omaha really needed a challenging course with some elevation and a rec-friendly course to divert some traffic from the overcrowded Seymour Smith. That is exactly what we got with Hummel and Aspen Park, respectively. So this is a welcome addition, even if experienced players might be underwhelmed.
