Pros:
Concrete tee pads and tee markers, with multiple bag hangers. Distances are written on the tee hangers. Nice quiet park near a Junior High, most of the holes are away from the walking path and areas I would suspect would be higher traffic in the summer. Has a nice map (with a satellite view) near hole one with the basic rules of the game.
Trees are maturing in some areas that will improve the challenge, but at the end of the day, a course that strives to be a nice recreation nine-hole and succeeds.
Cons:
Holes 4 and 5 play over a marsh/leach that was very soggy when I played and would suspect is generally wet to damp.
The baskets are all numbered with metal plates featuring cut out numbers, so hole two and five are tricky to determine from a distance (as they look alike from the reverse).
Other Thoughts:
Hole seven makes for a good signature hole, with a few attack angles. New players will enjoy the course and the legitimate chance to strike a birdie. Players with a lot of experience (and the arms to match) will see some definite ace potential here.
The longest hole is 315' and the shortest is 185' which is respectable for a park course. All in all, the city did a great job building a course that fit their park and shouldn't be intrusive to the rest of the park's users.
It's not the type of course you should go out of your way to see, but if you live nearby you have a great place to hone your skills. It's only about a ten minute drive from the eighteen hole course in Effingham and would make a great place to warm up or cool down in an afternoon of games.
