Pros:
Good Chainstar baskets.
Small but adequate concrete tee pads, level to the ground. Not much of a runup needed on most holes.
Tee signs are fine, shows the basket location, and intended path of the hole.
Several different types of shots needed, going left, right and straight, on short and longer holes.
Great short course for beginners or families.
Cons:
Can get a little muddy in places, especially the Front 9, since it is mostly wooded and shady, some areas probably don't get much daylight.
As with most parks, there are several walking paths around the course, they do come close to several of the holes, especially 7, 8, 16 and 18. I've played here several times and have only had a few short waits.
Other Thoughts:
Reed Canal is a nice little park, with a dog park and playground at one end, and a nice pond at the other end. The course is on a perfectly flat piece of land in the middle of the park, plenty of parking near the first tee.
After the mostly open first hole, the rest of the Front 9 range from heavily wooded, to just slightly wooded. #8 and #9 finish a little more open, but still require tight left to right turning shots. #4 and #5 are both straight, but extremely tight, requiring a precise drive, or serious scrambling.
The Back 9 range from very lightly wooded to wide open, short ace runs. #10 - #13 cross the same open field of the park, with only a few trees for shot shaping. Here you find the longest holes on the course, #11 at 356' and #10 at 330.
Then, #14, #15 and #17 are all short ace runs, averaging just 157' with no trees to get in your way. #18 is about the same distance but requires some shot shaping around several trees.
This is a very nice beginner/family course. Almost no chances to lose a disc here, the pond doesn't come into play, and the OB properties don't really come into play. It also checks that "tale of two nines" course description. So if those newbies you are bringing to the course prefer wooded, or open holes, you can play that particular 9 (#9 does come back to the parking lot).
