Played the course:5+ times
Pros:
2021 Reconfiguration Update
Prarie Holes 7-10 are gone, replaced with Fairways involving more Trees in a Mowed area of the Park
1 & 2 now across Road and along it (old 2 & 3 are Yellow 1 & 2)
Then 3 is old 4, 4 old 5, n 5 old 6
6 is behind Bball Diamond
Old 15s Teepad is now used for 7s Tee
7 & 8 Play along and over a Drainage Ditch with Oldgrowth Trees involved around Fairways
1 2 9 13 14 & 15 play Moderately Wooded Parkstyle, along Park Roads
Lost some Overall Distance with a Few of the Bomber Holes gone. No more Searching/Loss in Tallgrass on the Green Course is a definite Pro
Lost some Overall Distance maybe, but there's more Trees involved with the new Holes that force Shot Shaping
Blue Bridge on 12 to Cross the Ditch, keeps Shoes way dryer than in the past
Winnebago DG =
Probably Windy
Potentially Hazardous Ponds along Fairways
Park Roads/Lots along Fairway
Prairie Grass
Throwing Over Pond
And then the Holes average 300 feet plus
Sweet Birdies!!!
Still allows the Bomb Throwers to Rip on numerous Holes
18s Basket has been moved up onto the Mound, making Ace Runs look even Better than before
Couple of the Long Walks between Holes, can become Safari DG opportunities
After 18Green, you could throw to 18Golds Basket from the Winter Lot

Cons:
Signage and Number Plates need to be updated yet
Notoriously Lousy with Pond Divers. You will Never get your Plastic back
Loss Disc Potential is a Real Concern, especially with the typical Windy conditions
Several holes potentially involving Ponds and or Nappy Drainage Ditches
Goose Droppings are abundant around Pond Holes
New Teepad for 15 is a Safety concern, as it puts the Pedestrian Trail in the Fairway
16-18 has a proclivity to be more Wet/Muddy than other areas of the Green Course. Green Course actually has decent Drainage, with Ditches and Grading towards Retention Ponds
(Not sure how Fairways on Holes 13 & 14 Puddle or Drain, as they are in a new use area)
Plays along Park Roads on much of this Layout
Losing Signature Hole 8 is unfortunate

Other Thoughts:
The Green Course plays more Red Level now, which is probably for the best, since there's a Blue/Gold Length DGCourse also at the Park
