Back 9 has short, concrete T-boxes.
Cons:
Some T-boxes hard to find, some baskets hard to find. Signage is very basic.
Front 9 does not have T-areas.
Could not find T area and basket for hole 10. Sign for hole 11 faces wrong way and I did not find basket. Large dirt pile hid basket for hole 17. Dirt fill is being piled around basket for 18.

Other Thoughts:
This time of year, there is much water in play areas. Also, looks like in summer, back nine weeds outside of fairways would be tall and wild. Now, winter has knocked those down.
Does not look like this course is played much. Wonder who maintains course? Improvements could be made.
All in all, I had fun playing this course even though I could not completely play it. Much wildlife around including ducks, geese, sand hill cranes, other birds.

Pros:
What I personally like and how this course stacks up in my list of 18 hole courses (over 180 played):
1) Holes with good risk/reward. Fair, but harsh punishment for bad decisions or execution. == B-
(Between narrow fairways in the woods and disc-eating water lurking on some looong holes there is plenty of risk...especially the water for RHBH players. This course does not have much of the route-choosing type of risk/reward, but rather the "should I go big for the glory?" type.)
2) Holes that have rewarding birdie opportunities for me. I'm a Blue level player (950ish skill) who throws 300' accurately, 360' max. == B
(Only 5 holes are out of my range rendering them as boring (but this course felt quite long to me), and about 10-11 are right in the wheelhouse of what is rewarding.)
3) More wooded than open - lots of variety of shots required caused by hole shape and topography == C
(This course is very flat, but you can tell the designer(s) was very intentional about mixing it up. No extreme shot shaping is required, but you do need to work your disc right and left both early and late.)
4) Natural beauty (Appalachian beauty preferred) and seclusion. == B
(The beauty is nothing too special, but it is very unique for a disc golf course: I have played nowhere else that you play into the woods, across a corn field through a prairie and around a pond. The beauty will not put a smile on your face, but this unique experience will....as it did to me! Seclusion from the hustle-bustle is outstanding, but you cannot forget you are around civilization with the cornfields and man-made ponds (vegetable holding ponds is what TallPaul told me - interesting).)
5) Bonus points for multi-throw holes with defined landing zones, good risk/reward and multiple options to play them. == 2 bonus points for this
(Hole 11 is almost 600' along a narrow and straight grassy "road" with dense woods falling off on the right side and a reedy pond on the left. The width of where you want to land cannot be more than 12-15' wide, so hucking a 330-360' drive to set yourself up for an easier approach to the basket is highly risky! The reason you want a good approach is that the basket sits on the bank of the square shaped pond just around the corner. Simple concept....but marvelous in its nasty intentions!)

Other Thoughts:
This is the course I always wanted to see that I was not sure if I ever would! I always thought some rural folks would put in a course in the middle of no-where (but in a public setting) just for themselves to unwind at. When I visualize a group of farm hands lugging a case or two around after a hard day's work, sitting on the banks of the ponds and just having a ball, it puts a smile on my face. But, for whatever reason, even though the individual grades add up to B or B-, I had to insert this course amid those with a C grade on my list. Somehow this course just does not "hold together" for me.....but it still makes me smile!
