Cons:
Driving range is by hole 5. Nowhere close to hole 1.
Hole 3 has a trashcan way too close to the tee.
Parking isn't the best.
Long walk back to the car.

Other Thoughts:
Needed distance to complement the shorter course up the road.
Playing both courses is recommended.
Parking by hole 5 would be nice.
A full 18 would be nice.
Not much but disc golf going when we played the course.

There is a small parking area off of Linden St behind the park (You go down Lewis Ln south of the pond and turn right onto Linden.) That'll put your car a few hundred feet from the Driving Range. You can start at five and loop around to four.
The driving range is actually on a former airstrip, they can't use it for that because anymore of the radio tower on the north end. They let us use it for a driving range, but it is unfortunately on the back of the property, so it's a long walk if you park on Old Betsy.

Other Thoughts:
DG@SW is a really fun course that can be played fairly quickly but doesn't feel like a dinky little 9 holer. The average hole length is over 330' but the layout makes a loop that is easy to follow and doesn't have long walks between holes.
The layout makes great use of the limited features. The corridor with a low ceiling on hole 1, the water carry on hole 2 (with room to bail out safe to the right), the trees that pepper the fairway on hole 4, and the heavily protected green on hole 8 all make for some really fun and challenging holes. There are a number of fairly open shots but the designers did the best they could. I can't imagine a better layout for this park.
The signs, baskets, and tees are great. The course is well maintained, well designed, and well executed. I'd play here a lot if I lived closer. It's great that it is right down the street from Carver Park, but honestly I'd rather just play 2 or 3 rounds here. Props to the course designers/dedicated locals on a great course!
