Pros:

The course plays through a nice grassy city park. There isn't much elevation, a couple tiny slopes add a little bit of roll away potential. There aren't a ton of trees, but they're used fairly well to protect some of the pins and make players be at least a little creative in how they get to the pin. The first hole is a fun tunnel shot, and a couple others make you choose whether you're going over the smaller trees or trying to keep it under the canopy. The signage is plenty good to find your way around, and there seem to be a ton of locals around if you need some extra help finding the next tee. The multiple tees offer a little extra variety for locals playing here regularly.

Cons:

The course isn't all that safe. There is a walking path in play that can easily lead to conflict with other park users. Several spots have overlapping fairways or tees in the landing zone of other holes, I hate seeing that and it's even worse on beginner friendly courses where the average accuracy is going to be worse.

The course is pretty open overall, a hyzer is an option on almost all the holes and the scattered trees aren't enough to make it difficult to recover from bad drives. The holes are fairly short overall and the couple slightly longer shots still aren't all that interesting.

Other Thoughts:

This is a great beginner course, with reasonable lengths and no punishment for errant throws. Experienced players won't find much challenge or variety here, though it is a decent place to work on rollers with nice short mowed grass. I wouldn't go out of your way for this one, there just isn't a whole lot of excitement here.
