Pros:
All flat, which means my 70 year old dad can play. While the wind could be considered a con, I prefer to think of it as one of the few real hazards on the course, and an interesting challenge. Also, it's pretty hard to lose a disc here, (unless you really put the mustard on it, perhaps) because the wind is usually blowing in off the river. Update: That bad old Columbia ate my disc on hole 4. 
I thought we were friends, Columbia. Wth?

It's probably not scenic or interesting enough to go out of your way for. The wind can be annoying, especially at sunset. As others have mentioned, it's not playable on the off chance there is a baseball game going on in the open field. (Also can't play during the local "Rainier Days" festival in July, but they put on a hell of a fireworks show that doesn't take place on the 4th, so play Trojan, and then come see the show.)
Other Thoughts:
This is my home course, so perhaps I'm biased, but I'm really glad it's there.
Basket 2 can be made more challenging by going around the right side of the trees, which is the direction the arrow pad points, rather than directly along the path toward the basket.
Basket 3 can be made more challenging by calling the road on the left O.B., forcing you to either hyzer/anhyzer in or go under the trees.
