Pros:

Amateur and Pro length tee boxes on almost every hole with signs that indicate distance. Scenic. Moderately challenging. Wide open; due to to its location, I'd doubt that anyone (unless there are local players, and one would assume there would be, or else the course wouldn't be here in the first place) plays it very often. As such, it's super clean and plays fast. Tee boxes are just dirt, but they're fairly sizable and - if it makes sense - composed of "good" dirt. Part of a wildlife preserve / zoo.

Cons:

Confusing layout. No maps. No indication on signs of where the pin is located. All the tee boxes point in more or less the right direction, but unless you know where you're going or just throw blind, you'll have to walk the hole to find which pin you're shooting at. The pins themselves are not of the best quality, and not all of the flags on them indicate which number pin they are. The front 9 runs very close to the highway which detracts from what would otherwise be fantastic solitude in a pleasant environment; it's also adjacent to a cow pasture, which makes for nervous throwing (on two holes) on windy days.

Other Thoughts:

Are there 18 holes? Were there 18 at one point? Only 9 the time I played it. And the people working at the wildlife preserve / zoo gave conflicting answers, ranging from oblivious to there were plans to put nine more in that never came to fruition. Even with nine more, it really wouldn't be worth driving to by itself; unless you're passing through and want to check it out, I really can't recommend this course.
