Pros:
+Nice baskets
+Well kept summer camp. Should be clean and well mowed all the time.
+No tees does allow you to make up holes and change them as you please. There is a sign at the start that shows general tee areas but no marking on the actual ground.
+Shouldn't lose any discs here.
+The course is probably never busy with disc golfers.
+Could get some kids interested in the sport.
+There actually are some obstacles and some rolling hills.
+Ace runs.

Cons:
-Courses without marked tees of any kind bother me
-Like other reviewers, it doesn't feel like this is a public park where you can go and play. It wasn't unwelcoming at all but it just didn't feel right.
-There could be camp activities occurring very near the course. You would need to skip holes or be very cautious.
-Not too many obstacles, hills, or length. It is your average beginner course in these regards.

Other Thoughts:
-Marked tees would bump this up to 2.0 for sure. If they had signs and concrete it might even be up to 2.5. The land isn't too bad.
-Play in the off season- not in the summer. If you want to avoid playing during camps this is what you have to do.
-Okoboji Gold is much more fun and isn't private property. Check it out.
-This course isn't worth playing unless you are a course bagger like myself.

Pros:
-Baskets are in tip top shape!
-A nice big sign at the start of the course that shows where you should tee off from and basket locations.
-No tee boxes, so you can really tee off wherever you please!
-The "fairway" on the first 3 is actually somewhat long, and you can unleash your driver here!
-This would be a nice activity for the kids at the camp.
-The camp seemed to be in very nice shape and appeared to be maintained and mowed regularly.

Cons:
-No tee boxes--my rating would literally go up a full star if they had tee boxes.
-No tee signs near where the tee boxes should be, so you don't know how far it is, or which basket you are throwing at.
-Very clustered into a small area.
-I am a beginner, so I had to be extra cautious about hitting a building, and even some of the residents around.
-Like the other reviewer, it seemed very much like trespassing with all of the crosses and such.
-Relatively flat, and not much tree cover which resulted in a very easy round.
-Maybe I didn't look hard enough, but I did not see baskets 8 and 9.

Other Thoughts:
There aren't too many frolf courses in the area, so if you are around, stop by here. It is not a good course, but it can be good for approaches and trying different shots and techniques!
