Pros:
Stillwater Middle School DGC has been around for seven years now and has exactly one review on this site before this one. That kind of tells you all you need to know about the course right there. That said, it's not as bad as I was anticipating it to be, but just barely. The course plays mostly around the edges of the track and field area with holes 1,2,8 and 9 being in a tiny little area on the east side of that track area. The others play around the border of it.
The baskets are older Mach's. Decent condition on these but they're not the greatest catchers of the disc. Good enough though. One basket and pin placement per hole.
The course does have some obstacles in the form of random track equipment, a small set of bleachers and some fences. A tree line does run along the left side on all the holes that run alongside the track too.
Free to play and should be well mowed being on school grounds. There were also restrooms available if you need to drop a deuce after dropping some deuces on the course.

Cons:
The baskets are older and don't catch the best. A few of them are starting to lean a bit, or a lot.
No tee signs or pads. Not a huge deal for the pads. The grass was plenty fine for teeing off from. The navigation is impossible without a map unless you just play safari golf. Even then it'd play similar to the "intended" layout I played today.
The fences around the edges of the track, inside the bordering fences are easy enough to manage. The outer fences would be a pain in the ass to get a disc out of. Try your best to not throw over these. It kind of feels like you're playing disc golf in a prison yard with all the fences around you. So that's kind of a pro actually if you're a con.
A few neighboring yards could come into play but you'd need to shank a shot and punch through the trees to find these.
Hole 8 is a super short filler hole. Basically a waste of a basket. That was the leaniest basket at least.
Not playable during school hours or if any events are going on.

Other Thoughts:
Avoid this one if at all possible. If you need to play it you better have the Udisc available or it'll be a total nightmare. It's manageable and just a bad dream with the map. Good to get this one off my radar at least.

Cons:
1. No tee pads.
2. No signs showing you length or to show you where to throw from.
3. Crossing Fairways with hole #1 and #3.
4. Fairways are not well defined, but you know where you need to throw to as you can see all the baskets from any location on the course.
5. No real change in elevation.
6. Hole length is very short with 2 being 100ft or less.
7. Hole #8 requires you to throw over the track, which can be an issue if there are people working out there.
8. You most likely won't be able to play the course while school is in session.

Other Thoughts:
Obviously this course is meant to be played by middle schoolers. There are no tee pads, so you must play basket to basket. With the course being in the open and basically all flat, this course has little challenge to it. On the other hand, if you are looking for a course to practice your approaches and putts, I would say this isn't a half bad course for that. I wouldn't recommend playing it if you were in the area. Either head across highway 36 to play Brekke or head north of Stillwater to play Arcola.
