Pros:

I think a lot of the less than stellar reviews of this place are trying to hold it to standards that it was not meant to be held to. It's not meant to be the most challenging course or the most technical course, it's meant to be a nice, well maintained short course for a nice casual round with friends. And it EXCELS in that regard. It's the perfect course to take new players, it's the perfect course to take kids, it's the perfect course to just enjoy disc golf in a relaxing way.

Pretty much every hole (Except maybe 5?) are birdieable from regular tee.

Some of the alternate tees really make great holes, particularly 10 and 18! 10 from the alternate tee (Which is by the basket of 18) is the perfect hole to break up the short wooded feel of the rest of the course. Really lets you let lose on a 380 foot open field from a slightly elevated tee.

Cons:

The tee signs are old and sometimes misleading, if you've never played here before you may get turned around or lost just because of the tight layout and somewhat confusing signage. When I first played here I accidentally threw to 7's basket from the first tee, and then threw the wrong direction from the second tee. Maybe I'm just stupid, the guy who told me I was throwing the wrong way certainly seemed to think so.

Other Thoughts:

I think a lot of people are judging this course for not being things that it's not trying to be. It's an old course built to be forgiving and fun, a solid introductory course to disc golf and an enjoyable course with friends. And it does that better than any other course, in my opinion.
