Pros:
The OB disc golf course is a nice little course set near the water on a relatively small property. The park is well maintained and very clean. The course flows pretty well and its easy to figure your way around. I would describe the course as partly wooded. There are clear routes to hit but the course is designed well in the limited space to allow for a decent amount of variability during the round.
This is a great course to bring new players to and work on your short game. Being only 9 holes and short it makes for a quick round so if you're in a pinch for time its perfect.
Cons:
The only negatives to the course are those that would be expected.
There is no distance on the course so don't worry about bringing your drivers.
The tees are natural which isn't really a negative given the short layout but what they do lack are real tee signs. As a result you don't know distances when you're on the tee.
Unfortunately during my round two of the holes were greatly altered following part of the course literally washing away. The basket for hole 3 is no longer in the ground and the tee pad for hole 4 is also gone.
Of course the last negative is its only 9 holes (and with one basket gone really 8)
Other Thoughts:
During my round, because of the missing holes I decided to play safari golf to make up for it. This course definitely lends itself to some good safari holes so if you wanted to play 18 holes it could easily be done.
Just a short drive from the beach this is a great course to hit if you just need a little time away from the beach or to mix things up some. Its not a course I would drive down specifically to play but anytime I'm at gulf shores I'll probably play.

Pros:
Short, easy to maneuver. Gives a break from the beach to break up the monotony. Well kept. This is like a PAR 3 golf course for disc golf. However, it should be PAR 2. Good for honing skills on short throws, especially turnover shots.
