Pros:
-Good,concrete tee pads on every hole.
-Great layout and easy to follow from hole to hole.
-Probably the most open hole is hole 1, which I count as a plus because I think it helps to be able to open the arm with an easier throw.
-VERY tight/specific fairways. Every single hole on this course is fair. There is a way to get to the basket for par. Some may not be possible for a birdie 2 if you play everything as Par 3.
-I played this in November, and the woods were very thin which made it easy to find errant throws. This would probably be a con in the more summer months.
-This course is more for veterans/big arms compared to newbies. You need crisp drives and up shots to par everything.
-Very RHFH friendly. Honestly you want both a forehand and a backhand for this one.
-It's a big park, so there should be bathrooms on hand. I did not check though.
-This course has a few legitimate Pro type par 4's (some aren't labeled that way. BUT, you need two perfect/precise shots to get to the pin- a 100-200 ft placement drive, followed by a 100-200 direct upshot.
Cons:
-$10 to play during spring/summer months. I believe if you have a Michigan parks pass on your license plate that covers the fee.
-Hole 2 ends pretty close to a walking path. A long throw could hit a walker.
-Not beginner friendly
-Tee Signs are okay. They mostly explain where to throw. I say check ahead before throwing. Some signs are slightly off, that or the tee pads are facing slightly the wrong direction.
Other Thoughts:
If you're new to the game and looking for an easier course nearby- I'd suggest Chippewa Banks in Midland as the best Newbie course around. EVEN SO, that course is tough, but it's more open than The Jungle.
I loved this course. Reminds me of Jomez Pro Video coverage of Idlewild near Cincinnati, Ohio.
