Reasonable for Bagging; Not for Beginners 2+ years

Other Thoughts:
This is not a beginner-friendly course, despite the description.
The first hole is a short 160' and the basket is plainly visible to the right, at about 2:00. A semicircle of trees all along the right side create a Mando, so the path to the basket requires shaping a left-to-right shot, which is not something a RHBH beginner is likely to manage. The next four holes play around the edges of a lake; beginner-type errors like griplock will possibly result in lost discs.
Experienced players will likely be bothered by the design of the early holes (the Mando-created path on #1 feels forced, #2 and #3 play right angle doglegs around the lake: if you don't want to risk a 240' water carry on #2, you're left "dinking and dunking" putter shots around the corners).
All that negative behind you, the layout rewards your perseverance with a few decent short holes featuring water along the right, and then very good wooded holes ("At last: a real disc golf hole!" I thought while standing on the sixth tee). It stays in the woods through #9.
COURSE AMENITIES:
Good Dynamic baskets, rubber tees. The signage is very good throughout, though the signs for the lake holes are a completely different style than those in the woods. Makes me wonder if the four woods holes were here first, and then somebody "improved" the design by bringing the lake into it.
RECOMMENDED COMBINATIONS:
Creaser made for a quick bagging stop as I strung together a line of four 9's. Garrison Park to the west, and Center Springs to the east are better choices if you're just looking to play a 9 - with Center Springs being good enough to play 18 using the alternate tees.
