Pros:

Rangers DGC is a 12 hole course that plays essentially in a straight line starting from the southernmost parking lot and ending about a quarter mile north or so. You'd have the option to play it backwards from basket to basket or hop over to the sidewalk to make the walk back to your car.

The baskets are some well made shiny silver deals. These are basically Mach clones that are surprisingly well done. You'd honestly never know they were homemade if you were new to the sport. They're mounted level and catch pretty damn good. One basket and pin position per hole. Pretty nice.

The course is well maintained being on school property. The grass will be mowed and the grounds clean.

The "tees" are just blocks imbedded in the ground a couple feet from the previous basket. Totally unnecessary since it's just basket to basket but it does mark the intended tee area I suppose.

Free to play and will never, ever be busy as far as other disc golfers.

Cons:

No tees or tee signs. These aren't needed but without a map it's just a dozen baskets scattered about. Bring a map if possible. If you can't just park in the south lot and throw at the first basket you see next to the baseball field and go from there heading north.

Long walk back to your vehicle unless you play the course backwards which I doubt you'll want to do here.

Totally wide open course. Flat too. Great for school children but bland as all get out for anyone other than that. I guess a couple playgrounds can come into play in spots. That's about it. There's a FH hole that uses the school building itself too now that I think of it.

Basically the same distance for most of the holes. Holes range in distance from 107' up to 315'. The majority are around 200' I'd guess.

There's some muddy areas that don't appear to drain too well around holes 7-10.

Other Thoughts:

Great course for kids. I always wonder if the school children ever actually play these but if they do it's serviceable in that regard. Excessive but maybe they start them on different parts of the course. As far as anyone reading this though, probably not worth your time. Very basic and it feels like the same hole over and over but it's a pretty quick play if you do decide to play it.
