Pros:

I thought this course was underrated by previous reviewers. Here is my pros.
You can carry 5 discs and manage the course.
I like the narrow fairways and the very high ROUGH. No poison oak that I could see.
One hole is only 100 feet. But if u throw a putter and it goes hyzer on you, it lands down the hill for a 35 foot birdie putt.
Very clean. Porta potty close by. Some holes could have some challenging winds to factor in.
Easy pars for newbies while more experienced players can try and rack up birdies.

Cons:

Some of the holes can be tricky to find. Hole 8 tee pad close to play ground. If the park is busy that could be a pain.
Someone needs to trim back some of the trees that are close to the baskets. I like to be challenged, but I feel if u park your tee shot within 20 feet of the basket you should not have to mess with low hanging branches that could interfer with the flight of your disc.

Other Thoughts:

I think they did great job in the design of the course with what they had to work with. Some smaller cities in states outside Iowa would live to have course like this!
