Pros:
The greatest strength of this course is its near-infinite flexibility. At 7,000' and par 37, Sheetz Gold must be one of the most challenging 9-hole, 1-basket courses on this or any other planet. Sadly, we missed the 2:00 to 3:00 AM tee time for this layout.
Instead, I played an unlisted short course, cashing in my 20-foot ace for a rare perfect round of disc golf. Take that, McBeth! How many courses can challenge top pros (granted, only in the wee hours of the morning) while remaining completely suitable for toddlers?
Amenities at this course are unparalleled. I cannot think of another comparable course where you can gas up the car, grab drinks and snacks, use the rest room, play a round, and be back on the road in less than 10 minutes. Truly a marvel of efficiency.
This course is close to transportation. Very close. In fact, errant drives may need to be retrieved quickly between traffic light changes. That said, risk of disc loss is very low if you land in the fairway or the adjacent gas station parking lot.
To enhance challenge, designers have carefully placed litter, construction debris, empty booze bottles, and car maintenance product containers at key points in the fairway. Choose your landing zones carefully!
The course is cart friendly despite a curb near the first tee and at least two small rocks in the fairway. Cheerful music played throughout the round.

Cons:
There are ample concrete and asphalt surfaces for most tees, but the shorter tee pads are natural. Perhaps paving the small grassy area around the basket would ensure better footing for drives?
Tee signs were nonexistent, which is understandable given the near-infinite flexibility of teeing positions.
Grass was a bit long when I played, but it must be difficult to coordinate mowing schedules between pro tournaments, local leagues, casual play, and fuel truck deliveries.
Also, it was raining. Perhaps I am being petty, but a highly-renowned course such as this should have better control over the weather.

Other Thoughts:
My expectations for this course were high, but despite the full tank of gas I left feeling somewhat . . . empty. Perhaps it was just my bladder.
