Pros:
This is a nice course, well maintained and relatively easy to play. Yes, the pars are inflated, but who really cares? It's not a championship course -- but it can be a quick, enjoyable way to get some disc golf in. Tees and pins are well maintained and the course flow is simple to understand.
Cons:
Tree on the first tee is just silly. I never drive from the 1st tee. I move to the south about ten feet ...
The real issue with the entire course is parking. I have spoken with campus police and the only free parking is on the weekend, and that parking is behind (to the south) of the main campus) and NOT at the actual disc golf course. Be warned.

Other Thoughts:
Expect a nice course, and enjoy it. Longest hole is 400+, and most holes are around the 200-200+ range. It is what it is.

Pros:
The usual good stuff: concrete tee pads, signage, and a decent flow around campus.
Good use of elevation.
Really liked hole #6... Blind throw into a courtyard to the left.....
#4 and #5 played around a hill... had an audience of 4 college students watching us play those two holes...

Cons:
Hole #1 is kinda odd .... 90 degree long throw around a HUGE tree, the volleyball court and a row of trees on the other side....from reading the previous reviews, they may have changed it from the original configuration.
Other Thoughts:
This was the 4th course of 5 on a So Illinois Saturday trip... all in all, once you got past that quirky first hole, it was quite enjoyable to play.... rates a decent score in my book!!

Pros:
--A mixture of types and distances of shots.
--Very quiet in the summer. Many deer.
--Open, easy holes. Almost all holes are short and ace-able by any skill level (with the exception of 8 maybe).
--UPDATE: The gaping storm drain by hole 6 has now been covered by a mat. Good thing, as I was always paranoid about losing a disc down that hole.

Cons:
--New baskets, but the older style with only one layer of chains.
--Parking is a major problem, especially during the school year.
--Hole 1 needs to be reconfigured.
--Most sign posts are gone.

Other Thoughts:
This course needs to expand and take advantage of the wooded areas at SIUE. All in all a good course to practice on. I go here mostly because it's close to where I live. There are numerous better courses out there.
