Pros:
April 2021 Update.
This course is completely redesigned. These old reviews like mine are not valid. Course is now once again 18 holes and once again let you air it out.
October 28 2018 Update:
This is now an 18 hole course again. The hockey plan was stopped however the developers still destroyed acres of 100+ year old trees. The former back 9 is no more however there are reminders of what once was and hopefully some work can be done in the future to put a couple of the old holes back. The best thing to say about this course is that it is great for a Safari round. You can really make some an interesting course if you want.

Cons:
October 2018 Update:
Well, sadly the 9 new holes that were added are beginners only. They are 150-250ft shots with no teepads, no tee signs, no direction arrows to the next hole. basically 9 baskets plopped down in a field. the sad part is that it still isn't beginner fiendly as the wind whips off the lakes and makes playing even the beginner holes difficult for a new player. An Intermediate player should be grabbing 2's on most/all of the holes.
Other cons:
-BUGS. Hey folks the city barely maintains the grass here. Tall grass means lots of bugs everywhere. Much better to play here in the fall/winter/spring. Forget the Summer.
-Navigation. Especially on the new holes. The course now follows a strange layout where you play the first few holes of the OG course, then play all of the new 9, then finish on the back half of the old front 9. There are multiple parking lots you have to walk over and through to find all the new holes.
-Family Friendly: Why is this a con..well because the new holes are in a spot in the park with Pavilions and play areas and in the spring/summer you will 100% run into people BBQ/running around the course.
-OB/Course Location. The course is actually in a very pretty park of town. It's is literally right across the street from the lake. This area is VERY BUSY in the spring/summer. People will be everywhere, cars will be everywhere. Errant throws can easily hit people, go across the road and get run over, or go OB on several holes where there is a fence making your disc difficult to retireve. It all just adds to reasons people don't/won't play here unless they are at the lake for other reasons.

Other Thoughts:
Sadly I've had to low my previous rating form a 2.5 for the old 18 holes to a 2 for the new 18. That can easily go back up to a 2.5 just by cutting the grass and adding some direction arrows. I wouldn't waste parks money on teepads here. Just put down turf pads or rubber and save the money for improvements/upgrades to other courses in the area.
The new holes here are a nice beginner area for new players, just need to cut the grass!
