Pros:
This course offers several chances to really rip a disc without getting into much trouble. The first 3 holes are each really good birdie opportunities (if you play them as par 4's). Ace opportunities on 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9.
The scattered trees offer a bit of an obstacle on most holes, but you still have several different line options available to play.

Cons:
The tee location for hole 5 is terrible. It's the longest walk between holes on the course and you have to backtrack across the drainage ditch that runs through the park. Flight paths for holes 3-5 intersect quite a bit, so if the course is crowded, you need to watch out.
Between the creek, the ditch, and a few adjacent low-lying areas, this park can sometimes hold a lot of water. During the summer or in dry stretches, it's not much of an issue. Currently, the only decent crossing is on hole 7, but there is talk of adding another bridge on 8, and possibly one for holes 4 and 5.
I almost forgot to list the biggest con for this course: it's in Kirksville.

Other Thoughts:
* There is currently not a bridge to cross the creek on holes 8 and 9 (although there is a plan in the works to build one). There is a crossing behind the tee pad on 8 and another one up closer to the hole. Hole 9 has a shortcut crossing about 50 ft in front of the tee pad. There is also a path through the woods up to the road near the basket.
* The tee pads are a little too short for much of a run-up. The ground behind most of them is flat enough and level with the concrete to extend a run-up by a few steps. The exceptions to this are 2, 3, and 9.
* There is a gravel parking lot next to the sand volleyball court that is very close to the practice basket and tee #1. However, if you want to avoid a long walk back from hole 9, turn into the park off of New Street and park around the amphitheater.
* Bathrooms are located in the center of the park just off of the hole 2 fairway and behind the hole 6 tee. There is a water spigot next to the shelter by the hole 7 basket.
* During the winter, basket #4 is removed for sledding, which usually takes place from the hole 3 tee pad.
