Pros:
Setting: This course is run & maintained by a professional Golf Club. The grass is manicured, the bushes are trimmed and the Tee's maintained. You will be hard pushed to find a blade of grass out of place.
Tees: Astro turf. None slip and good for grip.
Water: Only really comes into play on one hole but with the fountains going you are always aware it's there. A nice addition as some courses would stay away due to their own risk assessment and worries of players falling in.

Cons:
Cost: £8 for 9 holes and £10 for 18 is a bit steep, however if you remember that you are on a championship standard golf facility, you begin to understand that they want to make money on something new. The club pro was interested in bringing in a discount for instance with a pdga card but nothing is agreed yet.
Course share: during your round, you will share the course with Footgolf & Ball Golf. Always to aware of incoming objects!

Other Thoughts:
All the holes are relatively short with limited height gain.
Hole 1 - A short hole, slightly down hill.
Hole 2 - Navigation from hole 1 can be awkward, from the last basket walk to the right of the large tree and follow the hedge, you will find a cut through to the 2nd tee. A slightly longer Hole, the basket is set close to a lake so try not to go too far right.
Hole 3 - A tight tunnel tee shot, with a large bunker to the right. The basket is set on a ridge.
Hole 4 - Signiture hole in the course. The hole plays over a lake to an elevated basket. Quite awkward with a cross wind.
Hole 5 - first of the long holes. Nice and straight, the basket is guarded by a large tree.
Hole 6 - Carbon copy of hole 5, except the basket is elevated on a mound.
Hole 7 - Nice dogleg hole which follows the boundary of the course to the left. Try not to over throw into the bushes as there is OB guarding the public footpath.
Hole 8 - A short but deceptively tough hole. Uphill tee shot to a basket with is heavily protected. If you land short of the basket expect you disc to roll into the bunker.
Hole 9 - The orchard hole. This hole plays through a pear orchard. I was lucky enough to play as the fruit was falling. Watch your head, but also up your footing!
As I have said before this course is shared with ball golf. I played all greens and bunkers OB to avoid them but also to make the course harder
