Pros:

Very well kept grass. Big park with a pool, playground and baseball diamond (although that has nothing to do with the disc golf course). The only good this course has going for it is the beauty of the park.

Cons:

This course lacks any sort of challenge. Every hole is wide open with very few trees to force the shape of your shot. The whole course is built around a large hill at the park. It reminds me a lot of Jones in Cedar Rapids. It is very wide open to the point that you can see any hole from any other hole (I would consider this lightly wooded). Each hole may have a tree or two but they mostly do not affect your shot or present any sort of challenge.
There are no maps, just hole number and par written on the tee pads. First timers at this course will likely have trouble navigating to the next hole as there is nothing to direct you to it. The pars are much too lenient for such a wide open course (if par 2 existed, this course should have it).

Other Thoughts:

The waterfall is anything but a waterfall. It's more like a drainage pipe for the cess-pool of creek water filling up in front of it.

All in All this course was not worth the drive out into the country as it presented no sort of challenge. Unless you live nearby, I would suggest skipping this course.
