Pros:

Most of the back nine. The rest of the park. Nice new paved parking lot, though it is primarily for the new carousel, kiddie train and miniature golf course.

Cons:

As earlier reviewers noted a couple of years ago, the front nine is mostly a nightmare of non-existent fairways, totally inadequate tee areas and too much intersection with walking/running / bike trails. If a discernible fairway were cut for #9, it would be a grand side ending hole, as #10 is a grand side beginning hole, except for the design flaw of teeing off out of bounds. As enjoyable as the back nine is, there is the horse trail sign right in front of #12's green (which has now been surreptitously moved) and a lot of tree trash along the right side of #15, which is probably the best wooded hole on the course. With the rather arbitrary assignation of par 4 on several back nine holes, that one long hole with virtually no fairway on the front nine should be a 4 also.

Other Thoughts:

I guess since Russell couldn't find any water into which to put baskets and disappear discs, forcing players to buy more from his employer, he left all of the trees to beat them up, so you'd still have to buy new ones.
