Pros:
Easy to follow
2 sets of tee (hole 4 longer box is unplayable due to construction)
2 tight holes in the woods
Nice Discatcher baskets were still in decent shape

Other Thoughts:
This is a nice little course that would be GREAT to bring your youth groups out. That is mostly what Church courses are for, there youth ministry.
This course is perfect for that.
you start off on hole one behind the main buildings. The basket is around the corner of the building. I really didn't like throwing this because if I sawed off my drive, I might hit the buildings windows. Last thing I want to do is break a window. I could see that several people had hit the AC units on the side of the building. It is also a blind shot for bigger arms.
Hole 2 is a nice little shot with the basket behind several tree's. Hit your line right and you have an ace opportunity. Hit a tree and your putting 3.
Hole 3 throw down the road on the left, but with the construction going on, there is a fence directly behind the basket. Throw for the ace, as long as you don't go over the fence, you got a birdie.
Hole 4 I could only find the short tee markers. The longer ones were probably in the construction area. The basket is down in the edge of the trees. This was a good hole.
Holes 5 and 6 throw back and forth in the "Forrest" that looks like it has been recently cleared out. Both made for short technical shots. Ironically, I shot both better from the longer tee's than the short tees on these holes.
In general, this is not a seasoned players course, it is meant to give something for the kids to do in the youth groups.
Would I play here again.
No, not enough holes or challenging enough to play this course again. However the course is perfect for what it was designed for. Getting kids active outdoors with a fun game of Disc Golf.

Pros:
This is a quick 10-15 minutes round max. The baskets are nice Discatcher and there are multiple tees. Being such a short course navigation is no problem at all. The baskets are strategic placed and make good use of the trees. Hole 2 is placed in a cluster of 5 or 6 trees making you hit a line. Holes 5 and 6 make really good use of the moderately wooded areas.
Cons:
As previously mentioned, Hole 1 is way to close to the building. This course probably doesn't get played very much or they would have moved the tee box to avoid building damage. Hole 3 is very close to the road construction. There is a fence 5 feet behind basket with parked machinery.
Other Thoughts:
This was a fun course that I wanted to mark off my list. It makes for a very quick round if you are bagging a course. Quick holes that are mainly ace runs.

Pros:
Beautiful trees adorn this small course adjacent to a church and school.
Nice tee markers (with alternates) and sturdy baskets in place
Quiet, private feel and nice flow

Cons:
All holes were under 275 feet but with very nice tree usage.
Hole one put many school windows at great risk!

For the amount of space to work with, this is a very well designed course in a very pretty area. I highly recommend it for beginners or those who just want to practice upshots/putts.

Pros:
1) Short quick play can be done with 1 round in 15 minutes alone.
2) Beginner friendly but not boring and wide open. These are the types of courses I would be hooked on if I was new to the game because they challenge you to execute shots even though they are short enought o allow you to get some birdies on occassion.
3) Dual tees which is a nice feature on a tiny little course like this.
4) Two posts mark tees both long and short tees and are numbered to help with navigation. Hole # and distance are listed ont he post.
5) Practice Basket is a welcome thing even on a short little course like this.
6) 2 holes are in the dense woods and really create some ticht technical shots, while 4 holes are what I consider to be "park like". They are played on a turfed fairways but they have large mature trees as obstacles too.
7) This is a fun course and you can technically play 12 different holes in one stop if you play both sets of tees.
8) Riser pole on top of these baskets are helpful with the number plate. They are homemade but still do the job.
9) Good design on a small property incorporating some variety. I am sure the church had the intent of having recreation for the people in the church and that was accomplished. I am curious what changed about the course from its original design, because as it is right now they did a great job with the design and implementation of the course.

Cons:
1) In-step baskets will deteriorate quickly due to their manufacturing and that they should not be left out all of the time. The seem ok now, but I would imagine it won't take long for them to begin peeling and rusting.
2) Hole distances do not allow for much distance throws. It is a tiny property I know, but it would have been nice to have one more open longer hole.
3) The area where the underbrush was recently cleared could use some levelling. W eplayed the day after some recent rains and there were puddles all over. A little drain tile or at least some grading of wood chips could make the course much easier to play through this area.
4) It is only 6 holes, no room for more holes at all, this is a packed as they could put it in. This is a negative but it does not lose points because of this in my opinion.
5) No aces were hit and this was part of the reason we chose this course as one of our stops. It was short and it game my wife a chance to make some runs, but noone hit any. Again no points docked for this con!
6) Literally no elevation change on the entire course.
7) The risk of hitting the building on the first shot creates a poor design characteristic. I mean how many beginners throw short and left (right where the building is). I like it because I have control but it is not a good hole for beginners or the wall/windows of the church.
8) Natural tees were actually in pretty good shape. . . probably because noone plays this course. They will wear out over time though so this is a negative.

Other Thoughts:
I really liked this course, it isn't a championship course but not all courses need to be. It is fun to play and actually has a decent amount of challenge for such a small course. I truly do not really dock a course points because it is fewer than 9 or 18 holes while some do. it is a negative but I cannot take points away from it because of that reason, so my rating may seem higher than others because of that.
