Cons:
A wet crossing of the creek
A few teepads which abut trees or other obstacles
A stretch of woods holes of similar distance
Like a park course, there can be many guests unaware of being in the middle of a disc golf course.

Other Thoughts:
Ok, this was definitely not what I was expecting, so I'm going to again break my rule about not writing a course review after only one play. My expectation was to enjoy a beer, a bite to eat, and some mildly entertaining disc golf with a friend. What I got was an impressive facility, a top-notch beer and delicious taco with first rate service, and some really fun and challenging disc golf.
A first review should really give some more thorough hole by hole narrative, but I sadly failed to take really good mental notes, so I will have to hope others will do a better job. I will note a few of our favorites below. In general, I was very impressed by the design and flow of the course. There are a few longish hikes between holes, but nothing horrible and we found our way around the course with only one minor bit of confusion caused by a temporary hole. We both liked the combination of woods and open holes with a few combo holes (open throws into narrow wooded approaches).
The opening hole is a solid downhill opener, 401 feet with plenty of room to fluff a drive and still have a shot to the basket which is surrounded by enough trees to punish a really poor shot. It is followed by a 260-foot tunnel hole which requires an average level of control and distance. From there things move back into the open for a straightforward 310-foot slightly uphill hole. For us, things started to get really interesting with a series of wooded puzzles with tricky lines from #6 - #11. Starting with #12, the course presents a series of various combinations of open fields and woods before culminating in a wide open finishing hole playing downhill 487 feet with a lovely view of the tap-room, orchard, and hop yard.
I'd rate the course itself as a 3.5. I would have enjoyed a few par 4 and maybe a par 5 holes. The placement of some of the teepads against trees or other obstacles was also unfortunate. However, the excellent layout, stellar amenities, and overall attractiveness of the property, I believe, warrant a rating of 4. I certainly will not quibble with anyone who thinks the course deserves a lower rating, and subsequent visits might cause me to revise my thinking.
