Played the course:once
Pros:
The first couple holes were very promising and interesting. Some holes are along the river - beautiful. Was quiet and only saw (or heard, really) two other people trying to play.
Cons:
Several holes (6 and 7 'proper' 8, 9, 10, 16, 17, and 18) were so overgrown as to be not playable, or in some cases even navigable. Some baskets missing due (I am assuming) to vandals. Most Tees were poorly marked if at all.
Other Thoughts:
This course could be a fun and challenging course on par with the front 18 at SeaTac (Nothing long like 19-27). Similar wooded/narrow fairways with good obstacles, but it is not used enough to 'self maintain' by foot traffic, and it is not maintained enough to navigate many of the holes, let alone let your disk fly. A frustrating shame, because it couyld be so good.
3 or 4 of the back 9 holes are open with long grass (4' - 5' grass - I mean, LONG TALL GRASS) as the only obstacles, and with nicely mown fairways, but those are pretty much the only holes playable past 6 - which you throw to the 7 basket because neither the basket for 6, nor the tee for 7 are able to be used (or even found) because of the overgrown forest floor (and, I think the 6 basket was removed).
A good weekend work party lead by someone who is familiar with this how this course 'should be' could turn this into an excellent course, on par with the best I've played, but as of now, its not worth the drive if you live any farther away than downtown Arlington.
If you d brave the trip, don't go alone. Bring someone who you can trade off disc spotting duties with on most holes. Even right in the 'fairway', it is grown and rigged enough that you are likely to lose discs, and if you don't throw 'perfect' you'd find yourself sprinting from the teebox with every throw in hopes of seeing which part of the overgrown underbrush you've landed in. Send someone halfway down the fairways you can find before you throw and you'll leave with the disks you brought - it takes extra time, but so does rebuying disks, and if you are like me, some of them in your bag are just where you want them and you'd be upset to lose them (and they are probably the ones you'd reach into your bag for to make that long narrow shot with 3 bends and 8 trees along the path.
