Cons:
-Crossing fairways. 6 of the 9 fairways cross. If anyone else is on the course look out.
-Many of the fairways are on busy parts of the park.
-The park can be very busy.
-I miss the old hole 2.
-Stinks like sewage from time to time.

Other Thoughts:
I waited till I had played the course many times at different times of the day to write this review.
While the baskets, tees, and signs are a huge improvement, the new layout has more interference problems than before.
The new course is using at least twice as much land, and has 6 crossing fairways. the old course had 2 crossing fairways. Someone is going to get hit.
The new course now has 6 fairways that cross over busy parts of the park. The old course had 1.
Overall I am glad about the update. I only regret that with all the time, effort, and money that was spent, a much more usable course could have been made. Good luck trying to hold any sort of organized disc golf event here.

Played the course:once
Pros:
1) Nice new baskets (double chain)
2) All holes now have cement tee pads and signage to help you navigate the course.
3) The course is longer and more challenging than it used to be.

Cons:
The revised course layout is IMO deeply flawed. The fact that there are 4 holes on the south part of the park and 5 holes on the north part is not a problem, but when you look at the course map, the fairways crisscross all over the place.
1) Holes 2 and 3 crisscross each other.
2) The tee for hole 3 is in the fairway of hole 4!?.
3) Holes 6 and 7 crisscross.
4) Hole 8 requires players to play across a pond of murky water. The risk of losing discs in the water is real, especially for novice players. Two out of 7 people in our group went in the water; we were lucky to recover both discs, mainly because water levels are down this time of year - we wouldn't have been so lucky during the summer.
Also, when we played the other day, there were only two other groups on the course, and we were constantly in each other's way.
The number of crossing holes make this course a challenge when even a small number of groups are playing at a time.

Other Thoughts:
The course is a little longer and a bit more technical than it used to be, and that's fine, but the new layout is IMO a disaster!
Even so, local players are happy to have it, otherwise it's at least a 30-minute drive to the next closest course.
