Pros:

This course was a pleasant surprise for me. I wasn't expecting much. Your typical city park course in a small town. The distances are longer than a lot of small park courses like this. The elevation on holes 4 and 7 add to the fun factor. Hole 4 is a fun downhill shot with 7 playing back up the same hill. Hole 6 is a little under 200 feet tucked into the tree line. There are nice large concrete tees on every hole. I didn't notice the red markers in the ground for the shorts but I wasn't actively looking for them either. The tee signs are serviceable. They have the hole number, distances from each set of tees and either a drawn or carved hole map. I believed they had pars listed as well, but don't quote me on that. The course wouldn't seem to ever be too busy either. The baskets are DISCatchers that were all in pretty good shape and caught fine. The flow of the course is really easy to follow and starts and ends by the parking lot which is always a plus.

Cons:

Not much for cons here. Hole 5 is kind of boring and wide open. As mentioned in earlier reviews the tees are not framed in just kind poured right onto the ground. I had no problems with these though. Better than natural pads or rubber mats in my opinion.

Other Thoughts:

This definitely isn't worth any kind of trip out of your way to play but if you're nearby it's not a bad little course thanks to the elevation and there are enough trees to have to shape a shot on the majority of the holes. It's just not all that exciting either. I debated between a 2.5 and 3. I'll go with a 3 because I think it's closer to that.

Pros:

Great for people who are just begining, because most players who throw start throwing sidearm.

Cons:

t pads are horrible, if your gunna spend the money on concrete, spend the money to put forms around it? duh

Other Thoughts:

all holes are ether straight or to the right. wish there was a few holes that curved to the left.
