Pros:
Although the course is fairly open, it still takes a very good shot on most holes to get you a birdie. There are trees on nearly every hole that come into play, but no ceiling limits for the most part. There are alternate tees, but there aren't alternate concrete tee pads. Look for pairs of little colored flags (like one might see marking a gas line underground) that mark the alternate tees -- which are a nice change of pace and require more challenging shots, IMO. The course is well maintained and very clean. Restrooms and water fountain on site.
Cons:
The loss of those 10 holes really puts a damper on the course.
Only 9 holes (18 if you play alternates).
Some very, very short holes.
Other Thoughts:
Karst used to be an outstanding (4+) 18 hole course, but the nearby fairground annexed back land it had loaned to the complex and 10 holes were subsequently lost. I had heard chatter of a new 9 being put in, but that didn't happen during my stay in Bloomington.
UPDATE (9/10) - The baskets that were used on the old back 9 have been placed again. They're all located within 20 feet of another basket. Now there are two targets to shoot for, but unfortunately it doesn't change a single shot.
