Pros:

Mostly open, but incorporates a fair amount of trees to force you to shape your shots accordingly. Nice concrete teepads and baskets in good shape. The fairways are pretty regularly mowed in the summer, so it's a pretty nice looking course. Great for practicing your teeshots/drives.
Hole 5 is a great hole. OB fence right catches more hyzers than you would expect and the trees will cut you off on your second shot if you're off either side of the fairway. Takes two accurate 300 foot shots or you can push your drive to 400 and take some pressure off the upshot. Getting further is difficult because the trees limit the lateral movement of your flip/flex. Probably should be a par 4 but I like that it offsets some of the more simple birdies from hole 1-4.
Hole 8 is long but unremarkable. Plus side is you can absolutely rip one as hard as you can.
It's mixed use, but I'm rarely waiting for people on the course, most activity is focused more towards the center of the park and this wraps around the outside. Rarely have backups and rarely have people crossing fairways.

Cons:
Most of the shots on this course are RHBH hyzers, but there are a few holes that have more interesting forced lines (6 and 7 come to mind). No elevation changes. A little on the easy side. A few holes make up for lack of obstacles and OB by adding length.
Seems like there is plenty of room to figure out a back 9... would love to see more holes!
