Pros:
1) Beginner friendly for sure. Shorter holes with minimal obstacles, but still fun for many people.
2) Ace runs galore for those better than first timers or beginners. Who doesn't have a good time throwing for aces.
3) Nice posts with Hole #, Par, distance, and a general layout of the hole almost unnecessary because the holes are so simple).
4) There is a kiosk by the 9th tee which seems wierd because it woul dbe better suited at the first tee. There is no reason they couldn't start over by #8 basket/9 tee except it probably doesn't make sense for the gym classes.
5) Overall distance variation is pretty good ranging from the low to mid 100's up to as much as 315' or so. Lots of difference in between too making the shot selection different on any hole and shot.
6) Surprisingly you need to be able to throw a couple shots here. There are a couple simple hyzers, a couple simple annys or flicks, and also some basic straight shots. Overall you will not do well if you favor one shot only..
7) Overall this course can be fun if you take it for what it is. It is simple it is short and it is on school grounds so it is designed well for the property and use required.
8) The course has one place (after #8) where you can easily sit down have a nice picnic lunch. There also is a garbage can in this general area.
9) Minor elevation changes can alter a couple shots . . .its nice to see on a short school course for sure.

Cons:
1) Distances on the tee posts are definitely wrong . . . not sure why that is because there is almost no way to hit the distances listed on a few of the posts . . .
2) Tees are not good . . . they are basically wore out grass (AKA dirt) and they are compacted soil basically . . . some of them have some soil left.

Other Thoughts:
There is always a special attachment between you and a course . . . especially when you ace. I aced, but it also happened to be my shortest ace ever (143'), but as soon as I let go I knew it was in . . .which made it more enjoyable.
Not a lot of overall negatives is all that keeps this course at a 1.5 rating. It isn't outstanding, but it is fun and enjoyable while still offering up some different shot making requirements. How can you holw this against this course. It is the best challenge for the average to good players . . . no, but it can be fun for all and also offer up some challenges too.

Other Thoughts:
It would be an ok course to take a brand new play out on to get their feet wet. If you have been playing for a while, there isn't much here for you, and there are better courses in town for you to play. Mostly open, the course follows the edge of the tree line around the middle school grounds. Not a bad use of the middle school grounds, bring a new player here and let them have some fun
