Pros:
Tees are numbered and have the distances, par and OB notes (useful to know about hidden water). Baskets are all numbered and catch well; they have red arrows on them to point to the next tee which was especially useful after #3 and #8 (see below). Two of the holes (#6 and #7) have a second basket on them (orange colored) at additional distance. Park has port-a-potty, a covered picnic table area, and slides and climbing stuff for kids.
Cons:
No elevation change. Pads are gravel in wooden frames with astroturf on top (for the front half of the tee). Course follows a walking path mostly - I had to wait on one jogger and several walkers during my round (but not significantly).
Other Thoughts:
As you face the park from the parking lot you will see basket #5 directly in front of you. The course has #1-#3 going off to your left on the near side followed by #4 & #5 coming back on the far side (closer to the railroad tracks). Then #6 & #7 go off to the right on the railroad track side followed by #8 (shares some fairway with #7) and #9 on the other side of the woods with the basket back near the parking lot. Details below.
Start down the path on the left (near side) and you will find tee #1 near where the kiddie play park is. The basket is on a little hill farther down the path.
The tee for #2 is directly ahead (farther off the path near the fence) and is slightly downhill past a small tree.
You will then pass a cross-path that goes over to the railroad tracks and will find the tee for #3 off to the left and elevated (with nice paving stone steps up to it). The basket is on the same side of the walking path but the flight path goes directly over the walking path.
At this point you might expect to follow the walking path down and around to find the tee for #4 but this is where the red arrow on the basket comes in handy because the tee for #4 is actually back near the crossover path that you passed while playing #3. Go back to it and cross over and turn right.
Hole #4 cross the walking path on this side but is pretty open.
Hole #5 is right after it and is longer but also fairly open. Note that halfway down the fairway I could hear a large swarm of bees (or wasps?) in one of the trees that separate the two walking paths so you want to avoid hitting any of those trees (I've hit a nest before and suffered many stings).
By now you are back at the parking lot but just continue on the path and the tee for #6 is directly ahead on the left. From the tee you can see both the short basket (yellow) and the long basket (orange). The yellow is tucked off a bit to the left.
Process farther down and you come to tee #7 (closer to railroad tracks). There are two baskets: you can see the yellow one easily but the orange one is farther back and tucked into the woods on the left). This tee also says you can use the pad for #8 as an alternate tee so there are four different ways to play the hole. It also has a mando to keep you away from the railroad tracks.
Coming back to #8's tee you can see it has markings at both ends (7 alternate & 8), The basket for 8 is in the woods a little. This fairway also has a mando.
After #8 you need to follow a trail through the woods to get to hole #9. The red arrow on the basket was very helpful. Stay to the right and you will cross a small bridge just before #9's tee (on your left).
#9 is a straightforward hole that takes you back to the parking lot.
Pleasant but mostly short. Worth playing a few times but not a lot of replay value. I added a course map with my meager map-making skills as well as pictures of each hole.

~ Parking lot is in the middle of two out-and-back loops that make up this nine. It's in a narrow park that's bordered on one side by houses and RR tracks along the other. There's a treeline along the middle that's used to shape a few holes. Clever way to build a nine, given what they had for land
~ Brand new DisCatcher baskets, framed gravel and mat tees, cut in to slopes to be level (pavers coming in the future). Signs mounted on the on the timber base telling you length, par and OB information
~ Low areas will hold water after rain. Paved walking paths running the length of several early holes.
~ The narrowest part of the property has a mando splitting the opposing fairways on 7 and 8
~ Although it's a very simple neighborhood course that's a quick bagging stop, a lot of thought went into tweaking as much out of the space as possible to make it interesting for multiple plays by those who live nearby. Hole #6 has an alternate basket to lengthen the par 3 from 238' to 376'. Hole #7 has an alternate tee, stretching it out to a 432' par 4
