Pros:

This course in Post Falls plays around a pretty and popular park next to the Spokane river. Drive all the way around to park by the 1st tee(old 14).
The course plays around the edge of the park, skirting the baseball field with a fairly tight cluster of holes (8-12) in the west end of the park.
This is a short course, even more so since the redesign, with enough trees to make it somewhat challenging. The course retained a couple good holes, with 3 probably being the best. It throws from a large rock down into a tight clearing.
With the new layout they have done a good job making sure all tees are well laid concrete.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the list of cons is long. The course redesign was forced due to concerns about erosion and safety and have turned this from a great little course to an ok one at best. Gone are my 3 favorite holes (3, 8 and 13), 2 because of erosion and one due to safety. Current 6 used to throw from on top of the big rock behind the current tee. 13 was talked about in previous review, and 8 was a long downhill corridor shot along the back hill.
Because so much space was lost in this already small park the designers struggled to fit 18 holes in and it really shows. Holes have been placed close together, like pins 7 and 14 are fairly close and 14 is in blind overthrow area for 7. 13 and 14 throw from next to each other, have to walk back up 13 fairway(and hill) to drive from 14. The 5 holes in the west corner are a big crossing mess. A bad shot on any of these will put you on another fairway or green, some of them blind.
There ar a few places where you have to cross a fairway to get to the next tee.

Other Thoughts:

I have a hard time here because the old course was one of my favorites. The park is still great, bathrooms, picnic areas, all that, but the new layout is so poorly done, even considering the restrictions. I wish they had done a good 9 hole instead of a bad 18.
