Pros:
Each tee box is cement and each hole has 2 tee boxes therefore appealing to both beginners and more advanced players.
Most of the front nine holes are short and there are twists and turns in the holes. There are many trees to avoid. Would be interesting to play this course in spring or summer when the brush and leaves are much more plentiful than during Late Nov.
The front nine was much in the woods and provided short technical holes. Some were blind shots in that you could not see the basket from tee which made things interesting. There is also a very large map next to parking lot which shows the entire course.
The back nine was very wide open and has several bomber shots. if you can handle the longer pro tee boxes throwing off the top of the hill on #11 and #18 is quite fun. I also thought there as a good mix of left to right bending holes. #17 I also found very fun to around the hill to left like that.
The picture on each tee box was very helpful as well so that I could locate some of the longer tee boxes.

Cons:
I did not have much to mention here.
Did get confused going from 10 to 11 and ended up going to tee box 12 1st. That was the only directional challenge I had.
Not sure why some of the early holes had such elevated baskets but certainly made things more challenging. Unless you like normal height holes. Could be either con or pro.
The one long hole #14 from pro tees seemed to play into the fairway of the previous uphill hole #13 but would depend on how its played. but if #14 played from pro tees was also a blind shot into fairway up and over hill and might have been hard to tell if people were on previous hole/fairway.

Other Thoughts:
Having course map there was very helpful for newbies. I also found the location just off I75 very easy to get to.
Having some of the holes in a location thats not viewable from tee box I liked although it did make things difficult.
One water hole #12 which requires a shot over the water so be forewarned.
Not sure what playing this course would be like during summer time when there would many more people there walking on trails or biking on trails as several holes go across these paths. Just something to be aware of if you visit this place during summer. Hardly anyone else there when I played. I saw only 3 other groups of disc golfers and maybe 5 different groups of people hiking. Nice park setting overall.

Pros:
New concrete tees. New tee markers. 18 holes good contrast. Front nine is wooded and great for some technical shots. The back nine is open area and has a water hazard. The back nine was fun to play.
Cons:
Easy to loose a disk here. The woods and ruff are thick
Other Thoughts:
Try this course. Its a good time
