Pros:
1) Nice big concrete tees are always nice to see when you walk up to a new course.
2) Nice new benches in a few places for you to sit down on your round or while you wait for the people in front of you.
3) # plates and yellow painted tops of the baskets are always nice to see, but I couldn't tell if these were DGA or a homemade version of such.
4) Lots of woodchips used ont he course and in the right spots. This covers up a lot of the unsightly areas and it also reduces the soil erosion and impact of the compacted soils.
5) Awesome property . . . it has a wonderful mix of holes and design characteristics.
6) Nice infrastructure with a nice bridge on one of the holes out in the prairie type part of the course.
7) Diversity of foliage density going from dense woods, to some parklike holes, to some prairie type holes. Its always nice to see a little of everything.
8) Water in play on a couple holes bu most likely only at certain times of the year.
9) Nice use of a major neighborhood drainage way incorporated into the design. Even if there is no water, it uses the slopes well and meanders around this area very well.
10) Challenge is every present and in all sorts of different techniques.
11) Some directionals helping you navigate the course, but it could use a few more.
12) I was out there on a weekend and there was a worker crew out picking up the garbage from the course . . .it seemed almost out of place for a disc golf course, but it was nice to see.
13) Nice elevation change on a lot of these holes . . . it isnt all that dramtic of a change but it is enough to really alter your shots.
14) Nice diversity of shots needed to play well here.

Cons:
1) Not really beginner friendly, but with well executed shots it isnt really what I would say is unfair.
2) Loose rocks all over he place and the mowed down prairie areas are tough to walk through and seem like thye could use some grading work.
3) Compacted soil in a lot of place. Erosion and compaction are troublesome on disc golf courses as I feel it is just another reason municipalities and other places will refuse to install a course.
4) Lots of places where you cross a walkpath or a path to another hole which can cause confusion.
5) Old tee signs from the old layout so that can also lead to confusion especiall for a travelling disc golfer like myself.
6) A few more directionals could be helpful.
Other Thoughts:
This is one of those courses that isn't the prettiest, it is the best maintained, but it is really funa nd really challenging too. I would play this course allt he time if I was in the area.
