Pros:
- Challenging layout that rewards shot placement and requires risk / reward planning
- Great mix of shots required and nice flow from shorter holes to long holes. Almost like interval training for drives.
- Uses almost every bit of available park space
- Plenty of shade at most boxes

Cons:
- Could use a little more signage at the back (14 pin to 15 tee, 16 overall and 16 pin to 17 tee) and tree-trimming but I believe it is still a work in progress. Take a picture of the map at the parking lot and problem solved!
- Long walk, which is subjective, but plan for it

Other Thoughts:
I think this course is the best in the city hands down. The pars are accurate here. Shooting par requires skill and execution and is very satisfying unlike other area courses where you may be disappointed because you expect to shoot under with a lot of easy birdie opportunities. I love the tough but fair fairways in the woods, the distance required on the open par 4s, the use of elevation and overall experience of a round here. Great walk through the park. Great work Mr. Houck and City of Live Oak!
