Pros:
Overall it is a great course, there is a ton of elevation change, great signage, and good hole variation. There are a lot of different hole lengths which adds to the variety of this course. This course can be very technical and doesn't always favor a bomb of a drive. While there are a few holes that were meant for a long bomb of a drive. 
Cons:
Some of the tee boxes are old and could use some work. The course can get really muddy if it had just rained. The back 9 become a swamp after just a little bit of rain, so plan your time accordingly.
Other Thoughts:
Overall it is a great course for a technical player as well as long holes to even the playing field.

Pros:
The redesigned Murdock Park is vastly superior to old course. Large concrete/brick tee pads. Good signage. The swamp has been taken mostly out of play and the wooded holes are fun to play, fairways not too tight and light underbrush, unlike many other wooded courses.
Cons:
There are a couple of elevated baskets as well as one at ground level which I don't hate, but could do done without. I don't see what they add to the game and they just felt gimmicky to me.
Other Thoughts:
There are many longer holes that may frustrate beginners who've yet to develop distance. This isn't a par 3 course, however if you have enough arm and are looking for a challenge you may play it as such.

Pros:
Dual Tees.
Good mixture of "open" and wooded holes.
Multiple shot types needed throughout course.
In town.
Arrows on baskets directing to next tee.
Listed OB's can be modified easily to fit the type of round you're playing by tightening or spreading.

Cons:
Some fairways can feel like they are on top of each other (8,9,10) when the course is full.
4 street crossings.
Walking path running throughout 8 holes.
Paved teepads can be slippery when wet.
The "swamp" land is nasty if you go in (bring extra shoes/socks just in case).

Other Thoughts:
The title says a lot about this course. It is obvious there are still some things that need to be tweaked out to really finish the course, but when traveling to other courses in the area, one will realize how nice this course is for being smack in the middle of town.
