Pros:
Recently redesigned - New layout offers a few brand new holes, while also changing the dynamics of existing holes.
Park Style Layout - Pretty straight-forward layout that utilizes the trees around the park very well. Each hole for the most part allows for multiple routes to be taken to the basket. This aspect makes this course great for beginners, while at the same time the added distances to some holes make it appealing for more advanced players.
New Fly Pads - Hole number and and distance to basket have been painted on each one.
Baskets revamp - Inner chains have been added to the older baskets to prevent spit-outs.
10m circles are painted around every basket.
Typically this is a low-traffic course. You can go anytime of the day, any day of the week, and play at your own pace.

Cons:
Some of the frames around the fly pads have started warping. The frame around Hole #2's pad has started to come out of the ground in the back on the right side. This one was probably the worst, but it still wasn't a huge problem.
Since the new holes (1,2,17,and 18) have been added to another part of the park, you have to cross N Main St. in Churchville twice. This road can be busy at times, so be cautious.
A few of the holes play close to N Main St. (3,6, and 16). Most of the time this won't be an issue, however it can be windy here and drives can sail well across the road.
Holes that play close to Black Creek (6, and 7) are in a low spot of the park, and typically can be wet even in the later spring months.

Other Thoughts:
Although it may not be the most challenging course in the area, the new layout and amenities make for a very enjoyable round. As stated before, this course is a great place to come out and learn the game for beginners, as well as a great place for more experienced players to practice and shape lines almost risk free. I've enjoyed playing this course for both of these reasons.

-Very beginner friendly, with virtually no way to lose your discs.

Cons:
-Navigation is tricky in a couple of spots. After 15, walk all the way down the road to the pad for 16 near the intersection of the streets. Holes 1,2,17,and 18 are across the street from the rest of the course.
-Hole 6 plays near a road which could be an issue.
-Basket for seven is too close to the fairway for eight, and could also be an issue.
-Uninspiring scenery. The course plays well, but is mostly in a wide open, flat field.

Other Thoughts:
-The course is freshly redesigned, so some signage could clear up a few of my minor gripes. There is likely some tweaking to be done.
-Looking over the whole course makes it seem unexciting, but the views and lines from the tees are excellent.
-This used to be a real easy course, but it will test big arms now with it's new layout as well as punishing you on a few holes for not hitting your gaps.
-It's a bit of a drive from Rochester, but with the new changes it's worth the trip!
