Pros:
+ Cahoon Creek is a nice piece of land in beautiful Bay Village. Tons of elevation for an area so close to the lake shore.
+ There's a few fun, memorable holes here. #1, #4, and #6 are very solid and would be welcomed on just about any course.
* #1 is very steep downhill, and features the only concrete tee on the course. It hooks sharp right with a creek behind the pin. If you can throw a good hyzer with a big arm, you can put in pretty close to the basket. It's 385', but the disc can carry that far with the elevation.
* #4 has two routes to the pin with the creek running along the right side, even though it really doesn't factor in to the shot. Nice wooded hole with multiple elevation changes.
* #6 is a lefties hole. The sign says it's over 400' with a tough pin position for roll-a-ways. Another fun wooded toss.
+ Nice baskets for every hole and decent tee signs that do the job.
+ The property is just stunningly beautiful. Cahoon Creek runs near the course, you also get great views of the cliffs on 6. Lake Erie is visible towards the middle of the course.
+ Large parking lot with a course sign and restrooms near the first tee.

Cons:
- The design... wow it was brutal. The property was begging for a course and the design was butchered. Several holes require you to walk back up the previous fairway to get to the next tee. Lots of overlapping.
- The walk from #4 to #5 is a bit ridiculous. Also, #9 ends on the opposite side of the ravine, so you have to walk all the way around to get back to the parking lot.
- I was excited to see concrete on #1, but every tee after that is natural with roots growing way out of the ground where the tee is supposed to be.
- Every hole besides 1, 4, and 6 are filler holes. Short, straight, and bland.
- #8 and #9 tees are literally parallel to each other. You throw 310' to the basket for 8, walk all the way down the fairway to #9's tee, and play essentially the same hole with a parking lot along the left side. Terrible!
- The creek is pretty and all that, but it never comes into play, except for a very bad approach shot on #1.
- The pars on the tee signs make no sense. The 400'+ hole that bends hard right and into a heavily wooded area is a par 3; but #8 is straight and downhill about 300' but it's considered a par 4. Confusing.
- There's also not one, not two, but THREE par 2 holes, that's a huge no no for me. If it's a par 2, it's too short!
- The sign for #7 said 190', but it's really only about 100' max.

Other Thoughts:
The design is very bad, and needs re-done. The property is awesome, but it isn't utilized correctly for a good course at this point in time.
There's three good holes, and six terrible ones. Mix that with long walks and a confusing layout, you don't have an enjoyable experience.
