Other Thoughts:
The course occupies a large park that contains a softball complex at one end and a number of soccer fields at the other. There is an expanse of land that's about 50/50 open to densely wooded. The course utilizes all of the open portion of this land, missing an opportunity to have some technical wooded holes.
With a few exceptions, the holes are mostly in the low 400' to low 500' range, meaning if you're an average player who drives 300-350', you will throw as hard as you can with no real worry of hitting an obstacle and have a 100' or so upshot for a drop-in 3. There are a couple of holes in the reachable-for-mortals range.
As mentioned earlier, it's a wide-open course, but there are several holes that are bordered by a line of trees on one side, always on the right side of the fairway. Some balance could have been achieved by routing some holes with trees on the left side instead.
Lastly, and more importantly, there is a walking path that winds through the park. On at least two holes, you are required to throw around a corner of trees blindly where walkers will be in very close proximity to the intended route of the disc.

Pros:
Long holes, short grass, cement teepads, challenging course with the sidewalk or over and timber being counted as out of bounds. Hole 8 is the most challenging hole i have played but i have only played a handful of courses.
Cons:
Timber will swallow your disc. i lost 2 disc the first round, very thick timber short teepads. Hard course for beginners with so many out of bounds. But they said they needed a few challenging holes since they don't have many obstacles in the fairway. Most of the course is hilly and blind shots to the basket with not a lot of trees in the way.
Other Thoughts:
Fun course to play. I wouldn't make a special long trip to play but if in the area I would recommend playing it.

Pros:
Concrete tees, Discatchers, and informative signs.
- 9 or 10 holes 400ft plus.
- many bomber holes
- Easy to navigate
- Course plays on beautiful rolling hills.
- Thick tree line and rough border many fairways making for unnerving drives.
- Concrete walking trail runs down the middle of course making for interesting and challenging OB.
- Length of course and rolling hills make for a great workout.
- Water hydrants by tee pads 6 and 14.
- Not much traffic on course when we played on a Sunday afternoon.

Cons:
Very open with very few obstacles to shape shots.
- Tee post signs butt up to concrete on backside of tees. At first a little unnerving but later not really an issue.
- Concrete tee pads follow the contour of the rolling hills resulting in an unlevel throwing surface.
- Many blind baskets.
- Many of the bomber holes were up and over hills to blind baskets.
- Turf was a little shaggy the day we played.
- Do not go into tree line rough- it is ugly.
- No shade trees by tees.
- Though course is easy to navigate the trek from 18 to 1 is about a quarter mile.

Other Thoughts:
Knowing that this course is new I really don't see much room for maturity or improvement. I believe it will look and play the same 10 years from now. At first glance I was really excited to play this course with the opportunity to air it out many times. But my excitement was hampered by the unlevel tee pads and the numerous up hill drives. Not sure if I will play this course again with Graceland being only 30 mi south and Pickard 25 mi to the north.
