Pros:

The park provides an excellent raw canvas for course design / development.
Aesthetically pleasing use of lake / water hazards on holes 3, 4 & 18 (see Con point below).

Cons:

Disc Golf course basics - tee pads, primary hole signage & secondary navigational signage - are lacking in some cases & shoddy in execution where they have been provided.
To the Pro point above, holes 3, 4 & 18 are impressive to see & play; however, if you miss your line on 3 or 18 & end up in the water & are not in the best of shape, you will not be able to scale down wall & get your disc back. Gone forever.
For a handful of holes - 9, 10, 11, 12 & 17 - fairways are not clearly defined / regularly maintained. It is possible, on these holes, to throw what you think is an excellent shot, walk up & not be able to find your disc.
The use of hanging / elevated / built-up baskets has been overdone. Feels like you're playing the Chuck-E-Cheese of Disc Golf courses.

Other Thoughts:

Everytime I go to this course, something significant is different. I strongly recommend the following, (1) consult local disc golf pros & come up with a complete & comprehensive course plan, (2) implement & execute that plan fully, without distraction, & (3) properly maintain course in that design iteration for a year. Make this a yearly cycle & update the course basics - pads & signage - as required & do them properly.
Course Pars also need to be revisited.
