Pros:
Hidden Diamonds is located in a beautiful city park just off of Highway 9. The people taking care of this park and the disc golf course are doing a fantastic job and it shows! Everything is in great shape and well maintained.
There is a large course map at the backside of the parking lot and great tee signs on every hole. Course navigation is generally good. Make sure you take a look at the map and look at the tee signs for the next tee location.
The tee pads are a little unusual to look at, but work well and are very grippy.
The baskets themselves are very nice and in great condition. They also seem to catch EVERY shot that hits chains.
There is a good mix of shots on this course including everything from short birdie/ace runs to long, top of the world bomber shots. There are wide open holes and some that are tight wooded shots. They also make good use of the elevation changes present in the park. You don't see many hills this size in the area and I'm glad that they put them to good use.

Cons:
There are only 9 baskets here and the two tees to each basket layout makes for some strange navigation and long walks between tees, especially on the back 9. While we had the place entirely to ourselves when we played, I can imagine that you would have to wait on other groups and could potentially have some safety issues with an errant throw.
There is a walking path that runs along a few holes and could come into play with an off throw. Be aware of people using the path and try to wait until they are out of the way to tee off.
A few holes play over and around a loop driveway. I had to ask one driver to move their vehicle as they were parked in the fairway. I could see this being a bigger issue when the park is busy with non disc golf traffic.
While the tees are generally good, there are a few on this course where a square of concrete is missing and could be a safety issue.

Other Thoughts:
Overall, I walked away with a great first impression of this course. While not a destination course, it was well worth the drive and time to play. I would recommend this course to anyone in the area looking to get their disc golf fix.
