Golfer History:
I've been playing for about 2 and a half years. My all time weakness is using my driver and fairway woods. I'm a weekend hacker like most people and have never taken any formal lessons.

Pros:
Holes range from 45 yards to 84 yards, averaging about 50 yards. All you need is a lob wedge and putter. The course sits on a hill, adjacent to a school. A small playground also shares the area, but is protected by high nets. All greens are elevated on a mound. Tee off is only permitted on the mats. Greens size range from about 10 feet to 15-20 feet. All the greens are circle-shaped, except for hole-5 (the 84-yard uphill hole) with a greenside bunker that's bigger than the green itself.

Cons:
Practice green sits on a slope and is very slow. The grass is trimmed along with the patches of crab grass.

Worth It?
For $4 a round, I can't really complain.

19th Hole?
There are no amenities available at this course. Smoking and alcoholic beverages are NOT permitted at this course.

Summary:
This is a small, fast-paced pitch-n-putt course. Good place to practice wedges. If you have only 30-45 minutes of free time to practice pitching, this is a course for you. Unfortunately, teeing off mats just isn't the same as hitting off grass.
