Pros:
-This course is nice for beginners. If you decide to play here soon, please keep an open mind because another set of pads will be installed soon. Pads for players that are a little more skilled. The FDGC is a very initiative club full of awesome people and they do a lot to make their courses interesting. As of now, this is a solid pitch and putt with a few holes that aren't as short.
-Few neat holes already in store here. #2 is a soft hyzer with a low ceiling on the side of a hill. #3 is the only par 4 here. It's about 350' if I had to guess so on a challenging course, it would be a very tough par 3. It has you throwing through a fair gap toward the open. The fairway cuts pretty well to the right so this hole is very tough to 2 unless you have a mean sidearm. But can still be arranged for a righty backhander with a good turnover game.
-#7 and #9 are both interesting par 3s that are longer than the rest. #7 has you throwing over a dip (over a hill and to the bottom of it). It's more of a righty flick or lefty hole since the basket is behind a hill that increases just to the right of the pin. So if you are a righty backhand thrower, you could go a bit right and be left with a short but steep downhill putt. #9 is the best hole here. Downhill with a low ceiling tree right in front of you.
-Disc catcher baskets. Always a pro and never a con.
-Good chance for an ace on a few holes here. Few easier holes for beginners with a few holes that are a little tougher just to give a better expectation of the game. Hole 5 was aced a few days ago by a local.

Cons:
-A few baskets are very close to the next hole's tee. That might make up for the fact that the tees are not numbered yet. If this course were played for gym class, then the kids would have to yield to avoid hitting other kids.
-There might be soccer practice on hole 7 a couple hours after school.

Other Thoughts:
-The only address I could truly find here takes you to the front of the entrance. But the course is behind the front of the school. The long pads should be coming very soon and will be more appealing to most players. A few holes here are very short and aren't very fun, but will probably be more fun once we have extra tee pads here. From what the locals told me yesterday at doubles, they sound like they are serious about making this course more interesting and have great ideas for long pads.
-Good course for upshot practice. Has some shot shaping holes even in the open. I'm giving it a 2, which is good for a nine hole course. It has some promise to it and I think the locals will make it better soon.
-Update: There are long pads on every hole now. Some are vaguely marked, but offer a funner and more interesting layout. Hole 3 is a fun but brutal pro par 4. There is a mando we play at doubles to the last pine tree and you must throw left of it. In a straight line, this hole is about 450-500'. But with the mando, it plays as a legit par 4 and plays about 550-600'. #9 is very fun downhill mid-range/putter shot.
