Pros:

The course is in a small park that is half open football fields, and half shady mature trees. The course mostly sticks to the trees other than the last few holes, so it's a nice park style course with obstacles to avoid but no brush or undergrowth. There is a good mix of hole shapes, requiring lots of different lines to shoot for birdies.

Tees are a mix of rubber, concrete, and grass, but most were level and free of ruts, and all were sufficient for the length of the holes. Most holes had tee signs with distance and hole layout that make the course easier to follow. There are a couple of the more open holes that are longer and let you open up and throw a little more, and the street and sidewalks add challenge if played as ob.

Cons:

The course is very short other than a couple wide open holes. You could play the entire course with a putter and a mid with no problems. Though the hole shapes are varied, the repetitive lengths make the course feel a bit stale after a while.

The baskets are old and rusty, and don't always catch very well. Some tee signs were broken, missing or vandalized, which made it hard to follow the course. Many tees weren't well defined, and the signs were often tacked to a tree, so there were places where we had to look for a while to find the next tee. The flow of the course was odd in places with backtracking and long walks where they didn't seem necessary. We never actually found the first tee.

In many places the course played right on top of roads, sidewalks, playgrounds, parking lots and picnic tables. The open holes throw over a football field. If there were any other people using the park, you'd probably end up throwing at them at some point.

Other Thoughts:

The land this course is on would make a really nice 9 or 12 hole course, but instead there are 18 mediocre holes with no real length or challenge. It's not a bad place to work on your midrange game or teach new players the game, otherwise it's not worth a trip.

New players will find this course approachable without being totally straightforward. There's no chance of losing discs, and the distances are reasonable. More experienced players won't find much challenge here or any really interesting holes.
