Steed Park
Pros: Not very busy- Easy to navigate
Cons: Not too challenging- If you know how to manipulate the wind this course gets boring.. With such other challenging courses in the area I can see why this one is never very crowded. I would choose NE creek or White Oak River over Richlands, unless I was trying to teach a newbie the game.
Other Thoughts: Very clean and well maintained- Bugs are bad in the summer.

Great For Newbies Like Me
Pros: My girlfriend and I are new to the sport and the "openness" of this course has added confidence to her game especially after playing Castle Haynes course. Clearly defined holes, Clean no trash on or around course, not very busy. A lot of straight shots and just enough trees to keep it challenging. Also Bathrooms clean and there were trash bins in several spots around the course which I really liked.
Cons: The openess lends itsself to bring in alot of wind. In the rough the grass was over three feet high in some placess so it made finding one of my drivers a half hour task. White disks seemed to blend in with the tall sun burned grass.
Other Thoughts: In the beginning of our round first shot a guy walking his dog picked up my girlfriends disk and threw it back to her!! ? ha ha

Richlands 
Pros: One my favorite courses I have played and a great antidote to all the heavily wooden courses in North Carolina. Open does not mean easy if you play the OB and I can't imagine playing Richlands without treating all the rough as OB. The wicked wind and the OB is what makes Richlands memorable. If you are pretty much backhand only or flick only this is a brutal course in the wind and it is almost always windy. Often windy enough that you have to consider more atypical approaches to the mound like sliding it in upside down etc. I recently added the photos which has the OB marked in red and should make it clear this is no bunny course when played in tournament mode. Also #11 I could not photograph in a way to get the feel of it but it is played as an island where any disk NOT on the island is OB. It has ruined some days for players :-)
Cons: There are several birdie 'guarantees' which usually help balance out that double circle seven that snuck on the card but certainly could be improved with a strategic planting or two. There are two places the tees are pretty close together though never truly in the way.
Other Thoughts: The park itself is quite clean and well maintained with real bathrooms. Bring your best decision making and everything you thin you know about wind, play all the OB, count all your penalties and give it a go :-)

Not as easy as it may appear Pros: A great course for beginners because most of it is wide open. However, still challenging enough for intermediate players, especially on the back 9.
Great atmosphere at this park, lots of families, etc. Clean bathrooms.

Cons: Wind can wreak havoc with discs on this course.
Other Thoughts: Love playing this course, especially when time is limited because I can play the front 9 fairly quickly.

GREAT PARK
Pros: The course has nice concrete tee pads, good signage at each tee pad and good directional signage between holes. park is relatively flat with some tree's to add some challenge. Hole #11 was really short, only 87', but has tree's right in front of the basket which is on top of a mound. Mounds were used on several other holes which adds an extra challenge.
Cons: The only con i could come up with is that some holes are close to each other and a bad throw might end up on another holes fairway.
Other Thoughts: This is a full amenity park with playgrounds,sport fields,restrooms and picinic areas. This would be a good park for the whole family. Most of the holes are short and would be ideal for beginners. For the more advanced Richlands is an excellent place to practice different shots. This would be an excellent course to have an ace race tournament.

One of the best groomed 
Pros: Most defined fairways I have ever seen.
Taking a course from a barren field to this is quite a feat and the designers should be proud.
Cool mounds to keep your putts interesting.
Great placement of trees and bushes to provide a little challenge.
Great tees and adequate signage.
Awesome place to learn how to tame the wind.

Cons: First 3 holes don't have the same character as the rest of the course.
Hole 11 without the island OB is kind of lame but is still memorable.

Other Thoughts: I really enjoyed this course. On a calm day it would be an absolute birdie fest but it would still serve to be an excellent confidence builder. On a windy day it could make you cry if you do not know how to manage your wind game.
The Hole 4-18 area reminded me of a hedge maze the way it was laid out and it was just a cool kind of atmosphere.
While I listed 1-3 as cons they are great warmups and huge opportunities for an ace run and 3 is a good primer for the elevated baskets you will find throughout the course.
Others have said that the rough was really rough and we found it to be not too bad (though we never went deep into it) and it looks like all the trees and bushes are growing up well and will really add to the course.
For a course that was a flat piece of cotton field it was turned into a really sweet course and is something different than what most courses have to offer...the ball golf comparison is close but with some disc golf flair added.

Richlands NC course Pros: I am 65 and do not have long range. This course is excellent. I go early before they even open for day. My dog loves the park also. As a novice player I do get some challenge where my son 33 finds it rather easy.
Cons: go in rough and meet NCs finest thorny black berry vines as well as other thorny plants.
Other Thoughts: A beautiful full amenity park out in the country. Just a great place to take ahe kids also.
Wide-frappin'-open!
Pros: This is my "go-to" course. Only a few minutes from my house is sweet. The course is not as open as it was a few years back, but it is still forgiving.
Cons: Not a dang thing to cut down on the wind which can be a challenge in winter. Not a bit of shade in the heat of summer when you need it either! A good score here can lead to a false sense of sucess that shows up when playing a wooded course.
Other Thoughts: Great place to let it rip and check your distance without the fear of smacking a tree. A few holes are easily reached in one giving many ace chances!

Pros: Very well maintained. On-site playground, bathroom and walking path. Beautiful setting. Inventive use of a relatively flat and open park. Mix of long and short holes. The wind can make this course very challenging, and if you play the rough as OB (like they do in tourneys) it adds a new level of decision-making.
Cons: Not really challenging, wide open with little penalty for wayward shots, unless you play the rough as OB. Hot in the summer (no shade), cold and usually windy in the winter (wide open spaces).
Other Thoughts: I love this course to let 'em rip. Never crowded, so I can throw a lot of 'practice' shots. Watch out for the strollers, several holes require that you throw across the walking path. Requires some accurate length, but no real penalty for missing left or right. I always have fun here. I travel 40 miles to play this course, and it's always worth it.
