Pros:
Innova Discatcher Baskets...always nice.
Actually a good, interesting mix of shots required for such a short course. Requires you to throw high, low, left, and right.
Lots of fields around the course for warmup.
Nice concrete tee pads and hole signs...its always a huge plus to have quality teeing grounds.
Water fountain, Porta-John on site. Always nice to have the basics
Definite ace runs for the intermediate/advanced player, while not being too easy.

Cons:
Only 9 holes.
Baskets on 6 and 9 are somewhat bent. The one on 6 is very wobbly.
Hole 3 is a very poor design. It is obviously an attempt at a short S curve hole, but it really leaves nowhere to throw the disc without endangering tennis players.
Hole 9 plays way too close to the road and parking lot!

Other Thoughts:
The course's local rules declare something to the effect of roads, walkways, and "recreation areas" being out of bounds. Considering this course runs through a park, that leaves a bit of ambiguity. Is across the road out of bounds? Is the tennis court out of bounds? How about the volleyball court and the parking lot that are involved in hole 9? Overall the local rules could just use a bit more clarification, as they can become a bit vague as you are actually playing the course.
Navigation - course starts near the tennis courts. Look for the green sign. Hole 3 is dififcult to find. From basket 2, walk down the sidewalk between the tennis courts.

Other Thoughts:
Park Circle is a fun 9 hole with alternate tee's offering a bigger challenge than this course for Free. Trophy Lakes offers the best challenge for $5 play with bigger water hazards and great scenery.
