Pros:
Course is actively being improved. Each time I play more work has been done.
Great baskets, nice pads on the 9 holes that have concrete pads.
Fun and technical with LOTS of trees.
Neat use of elevation with the creek nearby especially on the first few holes.

Cons:
Lots of broken glass is the primary issue. Considering the location on an old dump, it is pretty decent.
No clear line on a couple of holes.
Needs concrete pads still on 9 holes.
Only one set of pads, one basket location.
Almost all of the holes are tight through trees, not a lot of room to air out big throws.

Other Thoughts:
This course is getting better each time I play. It is a diamond in the rough and well worth the visit.

Pros:
Technical shorter course so far. Baskets are top notch. Nice tee pads. Great use of elevation and creeks.
Cons:
Mind I realize the course is a work in progress, this review is based on when I played it last. Trash throughout the course is the biggest con. I understand this land was the city dump years ago. Progress has been made in minimizing this by raking and mulching but it will be a constant battle. Lack of signs. Parking may become an issue during baseball games.
Other Thoughts:
I believe this course will eventually earn an honest 3.5 rating. I am basing this review on the last time played and have seen the improvements from the time previous to that. The motivation is there with the locals and even non-golfers have got involved with artwork like tree-carvings. Worth an hour drive even in the present status.

Other Thoughts:
Cool that there is a course in Elwood, needs some work on cleaning up the fairways. It does seem though that people are working hard on it. In 2-3 years I imagine this will be a 3.5-4 star course

Cons:
Course is Pretty rough off the fairways
The walk to hole 7 is a Jungle
Glass Everywhere...(however it does look like someone is trying VERY hard to clean it up.)
The layout is a little funky at times.

Other Thoughts:
All and all the course is fun to play. Not the best 9 hole I've ever played but pretty cool anyway. I would defiantly play it again if I was in the area.
