Pros:
Warrensburg, MO finally has a disc golf course!
The new Mach 5 baskets are nice.
The bridges that are there are convenient, but they tried to avoid making one over hole 5 and people are inevitably going to throw errant shots past this area and have to retrieve it. Hopefully they will eventually make the bridge here and redesign the course with the land across from hole 5 to spread out the course.
hole 9 is fun. Hole 7 is a decent blend of open shot with high risk.

Cons:
The only thing that keeps me from rating this course as 0.0 Abysmal is that it would be abysmal for disc golfers to not have a course in Warrensburg. Having said that, the course designer and Warrensburg department of Parks and Recreation created a 9 hole course that simply criscrosses too many other park features. They also crammed holes together in what appears to be their way of avoiding the instalation of a bridge across the creek past hole 5 that would have enabled them to spread out the course more - not to mention the terrain is about 50 degrees sloped and would have allowed a lot more creativity in hole structure.
The sidewalks are not OB, which will be a problem when a non player gets hit by a disc and injured. They couldn't have put 9 holes on the course in this park if the played around it; it would have made more sense to install 3-6 safer holes then 9 unsafe holes.
The fairways are on top of each other, and a few of the holes are heavily wooded, blocking the view of other people.
The tee pads are natural, but unmarked - look for the erosion close to the tee sign.
The baskets don't have number plates, which leads to a bit of confusion when you quickly realize that all the holes are overlapped and you feel unsure if you're playing the right hole the first time you play.
The tree maintenance on the fairways was non existent. There are low ceiling shots in the midfall on holes that play uphill (which gives you an NFL quarterback sized window to throw through).

Other Thoughts:
I'm not a fan of the DGA signs, and this is only aggervated by the unclarity of OB. I would personally make the city new professionally done designs if they asked me to.
