Other Thoughts:
I really liked hole 5 with a short, straight downhill shot at the basket. Hole 8 lets you "air out" your arm with a long throw. Buy some beer to thank the brewery for making a disc golf course. Cheers!

Pros:
Good mix of forehand and backhand options, and a well placed and controlled throw is going to reward you greatly.
Cons:
There is definitely some disrespect for the rules and there is some drinking related garbage on site, and in spite of the pleading to not consume. It happens. Course is used as much by the locals as it is by visitors, and you can see it by the kinds of beer litter some of the holes in the woods have gathered near the tee pads.
Tee pads are gravel and uneven from use.

Other Thoughts:
I was able to throw a best of two round while working off my dinner and handful of beers. This course is easy to par, but the trees are definitely going to do their best to make you work for it.
Since the distances are so short. You could probably get away with using only a midrange and a putter for the entire thing.

Pros:
UPDATE 10/11/15: Just played a round with the kids (5 and 8) and validated that the course is perfect for families. They had a blast and shot low enough to be interested the whole way through, including getting a 4 and 3 on the super-downhill Hole 6. All other holes were in the 5-10 range.
All holes have clear lines to the basket and are pretty straight-forward off the tee.
Good mix of open and tighter woods.
Great for families due to the shorter distances.
Hole 6 is bizarre and fun; 120ft to the basket and 30-40 feet down hill. Not very difficult, but interesting.
The obvious benefit of playing around a brewery, lots of good smells, interesting views of the inner workings of the site, and the ability to go on tours or visit the shop before/after.
New baskets, new stone dust teepads.
Two potential basket positions indicated on maps.

Cons:
No numbers on baskets, plus,
no "Next Tee" signage or indication on tee signs, plus,
the aformentioned dual possible basket positions, means,
difficult to navigate the first time around. I almost played to hole three from tee two, since from the map the second pin placement looks like the location of hole three. Since the course has only been there for a few days, the normal wear and tear isn't there yet, so the paths aren't super clear from hole to hole. But since it is a nine holer it is easy to remember the second time around.
Unfortunately there is already garbage/bottles strewn about. Placing some discrete garbage cans around would hopefully help.
Navigation is better on the back few holes, but getting through holes 1-3 was tough. Hole 1 finishes near the exit road, which you then cross and walk out to the edge of the steep hill to your right for the second teepad. Once you play hole 2, you basically walk back up to the left, up the third hole's fairway, then play back down close to where hole 2 is to basket 3.
I liked this because the course is pretty and I like the view of the brewery, but some may find the walks from hole to hole very long. There is considerably more walking from hole to hole than there is actual distance within the holes.

Other Thoughts:
Will definitely play again, and bring friends, as it is very beginner friendly. There were already other folks playing the course when I was there at 10am on a Sunday, so word has spread. With the addition of "Next Tee" signs and garbage cans, it will be a nice family friendly course for years to come.
One note, there is no obvious way to pay, especially when the brewery is closed, but technically you are supposed to donate $5 per day. A kiosk near Hole 1 would help with this and could also provide course maps and info about the brewery.
The entrance and parking is not actually at the brewery, it is just down the road on the right. You can easily park at the brewery and walk down to Hole 1, but you might as well just park in the spacious parking right at the tee.
