Cons:
-Don't play during school hours
-I couldn't find any marked tees
-Really no flow to this course at all. The baskets seemed to be randomly placed in the field.
-Fairways cross all over each other. Could be dangerous if a gym class was out there trying to play.
-The course is almost entirely open and flat. There is no risk/reward here or challenge. Very low fun factor. Little variation from hole to hole.

Other Thoughts:
-Another school course that was thrown in by some gym teacher or janitor that has never played the game before.
-I probably wouldn't play during school hours. You are unlikely to hit anybody or anything but people might not like random guys walking around the school.
-Only play if you're a course bagger or live very,very close. There's almost always a better option.
-With a redesign and some marked tees, you could maybe design a fun pitch and putt here.

Um only a place to practice 2+ years drive by

Pros:
Great baskets. Area provides opportunity to refine short game. really short game
Cons:
Almost everything. The baskets take up a very small area and no rhyme or reason to the layout. If there were some trees great place to practice. I only found one marked tee pad and that was 9.
Other Thoughts:
I ended up just playing a game of 21 with my discs shooting from one basket to the next so i could cross this course off. No real reason to ever play again

-Slight elevation changes on one or two of the holes.
-Very little chance of losing a disc
-Good open place to work on short drives and putting work
-Introduces kids to the games
-There could be an opportunity to play some safari holes here

Cons:
-The course is hard to navigate mainly because of the tee-pads. Tee-pads for Holes 3-6 are marked on a drainage ditch, and the tee-pad for Hole 1 and 9 are marked on a sidewalk. They are nothing but chalk drawing on the concrete and get very easily covered up by dirt or washed away making the course very hard to find.
-Holes 7 and 8 don't have tee-pads, rather hole 7 tees off from the basket for 5 and hole 8 tees off from the basket for 6, which can be really confusing as this is in no way marked on the course.
-Tee-pad 9 is on slanted on a hillside and can be a little hard to throw from
-All of the fairways cross at least one other fairway. If there is another group on the course at the same time there will definitely be conflicts and I recommend keeping an eye out for incoming discs.
-The course has almost no obstacles on it, as it is basically just set in a wide open field. Most of the shots boil down to straight shots with absolutely no risk/reward
-None of the holes are very long (but if you play some safari holes, you can definitely add some distance to a few of the holes)
-This course is close to the playground and other areas and I would avoid playing it during school hours

Other Thoughts:
Overall, this course is basically an open field with nine baskets thrown into it. It's a good course for its intended target of elementary schoolers to get them playing the game, but for anyone else there is very little of interest at this course.
