Pros:
Schultz Park DGC is your typical park niner. There's a couple trees in play on every hole. Not many, just enough to force the occasional shot shape. They put most of the baskets next to or tree or two as well. There's also a little elevation in play too.
The baskets are older Mach II's. These are still in solid shape though. They catch OK, not great. Someone put some blue rubber strips on the center pole at some point, I'd assume to cut down of spit outs off the pole. This actually worked pretty well. What was even nicer was that it made the baskets more visible from a distance. Never seen this before but I must say, I liked it.
The course now has concrete tees. Not sure when these were put in but I updated the course info page to reflect this. The pads are pretty small but work just fine for the lengths of these holes. The tees are level, grippy enough and get the job done. One tee per hole.
The design is pretty solid for the limited space of this park. The course starts and ends by the parking area. The distances are all pretty similar, but like I said earlier, they incorporate the trees about as well as could be done.
The course is permanent, free to play and was in great shape on our visit.

Cons:
The hole lengths are all pretty similar. The DGCR had about half of them listed as exactly 300'. This seemed to be pretty accurate too. Starts to feel a bit repetitive after about half the course.
The tee signs are missing on many of the holes and the ones that are still there don't really give any good info. Not that it really matters since you can see every basket from the tee.
The bottom of the hill seems like it might retain water after heavy rains or snow melt. Not a huge deal but it was a little swampy in a couple spots at the bottom of the hill on a hot summer day.

Other Thoughts:
Like I said above, this is your run of the mill park nine hole course. You know what you're going to get when pulling into the lot. It's a fun course and is worth a quick play if you have time and are passing through. Nothing memorable about it, but I'd be happy if I had something like this near me. Good place for a quick round.

Pros:
-Located in a nice neighborhood
-Low traffic park, there will probably be nobody but you there, and if there's someone there they won't be disc golfing
-Birdie friendly, holes are all under 350 so every single hole can be deuced
-Well kept grass and tree trimming minus trees on one or two holes
-Fair mix of backhands and flicks needed to plant each hole, option available to tomahawk/thumb a couple of holes as well

Cons:
-Teepads are too small, they are so short you have to do your approach before the pad, make sure you don't slip over the cement lip of the pad, and then try not to fall off the front
-Teepads and baskets overlap or come close in multiple locations, if by some chance there are more than 1/2 groups playing, these areas become immediate danger zones
-Holes are not labeled as clear as they could be, so the first time you play you may throw at the wrong basket here or there

Other Thoughts:
This is a nice little course tucked away in a low population area. It's ideal for some quick practice rounds working on controlled backhands and flicks. If there's nobody else in the park, it quite honestly plays like your own, very basic, private disc golf course in a big old back yard.
