Pros:
-Nice new baskets and accurate signs. Trash cans near holes 3 and 8. Located in a family friendly park with dog park and playground. Restrooms near 1st/9th holes.
-Very tight fairways demand accuracy vs. raw power. Leave your drivers at home for this one.
-Great flow. Impossible to get lost.
-Beautiful. Flowers, honeysuckle bushes, wildlife, etc. add to the flavor of this course.
-Makes an outstanding winter course. Gets tons of lake effect snow off of Lake Michigan.
-Very decent risk/reward. There are a lot of risky lines that will either punish you severely or reward you immensely. The thick rough also adds to the risk, although in a decidedly less fun manner.
-Perfect for winter rounds.

Cons:
-Ridiculously thick rough with some poison ivy and thornbushes. Ticks and mosquitoes are rampant in the summer. Bring bug spray.
-Difficult in the summer months: the trees will knock errant shots down while the incredibly thick shule makes losing discs easy, even with a spotter.
-Natural tee pads make driving somewhat difficult.
-Really flat with no elevation changes.

Other Thoughts:
-This course is not your typical 9-holer, despite the shorter hole length. Expect a challenge during the summer months. Mostly pitch and putt, but will definitely test your accuracy.
-Never crowded. Mostly sees play from a few dedicated locals only.
-Be prepared to encounter other park goers who have no idea what disc golf is or why they shouldn't be walking the wrong way down the fairway on a blind dogleg.
-Recent changes have improved this course. Trees and bushes have been trimmed to open up some of the lines a bit more. The area around basket #1 has been cleared, creating a larger "green" area. #3's tee has been moved to avoid hazardous errant throws from #2's fairway. #4's tee has been moved, also to improve safety. #7's basket was moved to a shorter position to improve safety on the #8 tee. #8's fairway is now mowed a little wider, providing a much more reasonable landing zone for beginners/casual players. Overall, the changes are very good and improve this fun little course. Rubber teepads are supposedly on the way, which would further improve this course.
