Well, Nico and Khanh inspired me with the "Disc Golf" thread, so I hit Play it Again Sports for a cheap used driver and approach/putter (that will be a separate review) and used the link below to find this course:

Showed up at 6:30 pm on the hottest day of the year yet, and luckily the entire course was already in the shadows, so playing in my boardshorts it wasn't unbearable.

There were about three other groups spread across the 18 baskets, so no crowd issues to deal with.

The course appears to have been laid out originally as 9 holes, and then they added 9 more pretty much on top of the original 9 (you end up making a circular circuit twice).  It's a little confusing at first figuring out which basket you are targeting, and where the next tee-off pad is, but everything is pretty well marked (although we never did find the basket for #17).
For the most part, the holes are pretty wide open.  Several are straight approaches across open field.  A few do take you a little ways into the woods though.  I'd call this an intermediate course, but a beginner would find it fun as its not too technical.  The only advanced part is a couple of the distances and some curve approaches.  There are a couple of ravines to watch out for, otherwise, pretty minimal chance of losing your disc as the trees and shrubbery aren't real thick.
I'll definitely play this one again.
