Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
The course is located in a beautiful little park by the river in Montfort-sur-Meu about 5 min walking distance from the town center. It is perfectly suited to be played with kids or introduce new players to the game (we brought my buddies two boys aged 7 and 9 for their first round and they loved it right away). The park also provides picnic tables, a petang field and a kids playground and is overall very clean.
More experienced players can practice upshots and putts or just make alternative tees to get some challenge out of the otherwise short holes and make use of the nice elevation changes the park provides.
All holes but #4 can be easily extended by going back 20-30m or shooting for the next hole's basket (if doing so, beware of the cemetery wall behind #2, you don't want to spike hyzer into a funeral).
The park has ample parking and is overall cart friendly.

Cons:
All holes but #3 are too short (40-50m) and unobstructed to make them interesting for anybody but beginners and there are only 6 of them.
The fairways are mowed regularly, but on #2 and #4 the rough can eat your discs.
The tee sign for #4 is missing, the tee is right in front of the low hanging branch from the chestnut tree (you can locate it via the map @ #1).

Other Thoughts:
What would greatly improve this course is a second (longer) tee position (the existing would be beginner/amateurs) along with 3 more baskets (there are nice open spaces in the back that could be easily incorporated).
According to the local club, there IS a 12 hole set-up for more experienced players, but it does not include permanent baskets & we could find no sign of additional tees or basket positions.
However, despite all my complaints we ended up playing this quite a lot as it is easily accessible, a round plays quick (so you can play multiple) and once you make your own tees and utilize the nice elevation changes of the park, it is really fun to play.
It's a great complement to nearby le Prevalaye that is geared towards more experienced players.
