If feel this course is really dependent on the player's throwing type to whether they enjoy it or not. The first 9 holes are all nestled within groups of pine trees, both around the baskets and on the fairway. (Fairways? What fairways?!) These trees are disc-snatchers, and if you make a mistake and throw into any part of them chances are you'll be going for a good climb. If you have a very accurate side-arm, or are able to throw a good thumber/tomahawk, you have a great shot at scoring between 1 and 4 under for the first 9 holes though, as they are relatively short. The back 9, however, are considerably longer. It really gives the player an opportunity to grip 'n rip as there is practically no obstacles, and just wide-open fields leading to the baskets. Holes #11-#14 fall into the category (and they actually have visible fairways!). The remainder have some trees, but they are tall oaks, and you're not as in danger of losing your discs, as well as there are a lot less of them. It's a brand new course, so the tee pads and baskets aren't too beat up yet. Also if you get out late you have the chance of baseball/softball games going on, which means 2/3 of the course is lit up even after sunset from the fields, giving you the ability to play longer than you could on most unlit courses if you didn't have any LED's handy. Ironically, this same feature hurts the experience if you want to go night-golfing, as the lights make it actually harder to see the LED's. There is never really any traffic on the course, so getting held up or having a long outing is never an issue. It's a very good environment for younger players and families as it is right in Mustang Park, and I believe the city and owners do a good job of maintaining their reputation and making sure unwanted clientele only make one trip out there.
So in summary, it's a newer course that has yet to really gain a large amount of popularity, so the traffic is good and low. The course is in good shape because of this too. The only thing I'd suggest is more trash cans, maybe one on every hole, or at least every other. Oh, and one thing about the general design of the course; I believe whoever designed this course either didn't play disc golf, or tried to get too creative, as the holes are placed so erratically, usually right behind a tree, or in between several. I can see how that would happen; if you didn't play you would want to make a course challenging, without necessarily knowing the best way to do it, and the most common way to make a throwing sport harder is to lengthen the holes (which because of size constraints may have been impossible) or to put obstacles in the way. That's just not the case in disc golf I feel. At least not three feet from the basket anyways. LOL Also hole #2's tee-off slab is pointed about 45-degrees to the left to where the actual basket is. Upon further inspection I concluded this was to mimic a "fairway", in which the flight path of a LHBH or RHFH throw would follow along a line of trees on the right-hand side, but for the most part it should usually just be pointed at the basket. If not to just aid in finding the basket before a throw, it let's the thrower make his own decision, without having to sacrifice the length on the pad he has to drive on. It's a semi-easy to moderate course, with a good mix of holes to allow for some creativity, along with the chance to let loose on the back. Great environment, centrally located, good prospering course.
-UPDATE- 12/13/11
The course has recently put in brand-new signs and trash cans, making it much easier to navigate, and more professional looking. They also created their own par system for each hole, to which I will update the site with on my next visit. The owners of this course are continuously making changes to improve to courses' look and appeal, and they aren't going unnoticed. Other than the tee-off pad on hole #2, there aren't too many issues with this new, upcoming technical course to be noticed as of late.
-UPDATE- 12/15/11
The new par system is as follows: Holes #1-#11 are the same, #12 is now a par 5, #13-#14 are now par 4's, #15 is now a par 5, and the rest of the course remains the same at par 3.
