Pros: Well maintained in a very family oriented area. I like the cedars and other evergreens lining the fairways, makes you think before you throw. Disccatcher baskets rock. Tee pads look great. I really like how the fairways are mowed and kept clean....the whole park for that matter. Elevation change is good, a little downhill and a little uphill, a little forehand and a little backhand. like the trash cans located around the course, other area courses need to adopt this idea. and the benches are neat too.
Cons: I slipped some on the tees for the longer drives. 1 hole had a left to right uphill elevation change lined with evergreens. that was interesting. Watch for kids running and riding bicycles around in the fairways. Did not like how 9 was sooo far from parking, kinda eliminates the idea of playing just the front or back 9 if time is an issue. restrooms were locked when we were there10:30-12:00.
Other Thoughts: Great course. Only been playing since July '08 and have only played 4 other courses. I'd rank this one as one of my top 2.

Pros: This course is a great course at a very nice park. I love this course because I am a long thrower and you can really air it out on this long course. I also really like the use of space. This course has the most cedar tree I have ever seen on a course. Disc Golfers know what an obsticle these trees can be, especially if there is a 2 meter rule in effect. Great job to the designers and park for getting this course in the ground. Also great support from locals. I also like the disccatcher baskets, as I believe they are the best on the market.
Cons: The t pads can be a bit slippery as they are made of laid brick. I played this course early in the morning on a dewy day. The pads do look very awesome, but I would like to see concrete used instead of brick. But they did work fine later in the day, and I threw long without any worries.
Other Thoughts: I really did like this course and enjoyed my time there. There is a course discussion thread in the forum at ElkCreekdgc.info where you can ask if anyone is going to be out playing the course, or to let locals know you will be at the course on a certain date and time.

Pros: Great use of the natural terrain with minimal disturbance. A very well-maintained couse on a huge public park. The course is challlenging to all levels of players. There are long open holes, short open holes, plus some short technical holes. Most of the fairways on the techincal holes are defined by cedar trees, the most fair tree a disc golf course has ever seen.
Cons: Splitting hairs here, but the brick tees might be problematic down the road if not maintained, but they are fine as of now.
Other Thoughts: I'm about 40 minutes away, so I have a feeling I will be seeing alot of this place in the future. Watch out when it's windy out there too!

Pros: Great open course with plenty of thick cedars and pines to provide obstacles. All the teepads are brick. Practice Basket, Course map, scorecard with map on it, and bulletin board. The best part is the elevation change and challenge of the course. There is a variety of holes, and some might say that these are all grip and rip holes, but the reality is that there is a good mix. Two pin locations at every hole, with one having 3. Grass provides some obstacle, and the woods come into play on 8 holes, but no hole is completely in the woods. Wind is a factor on some holes, but usually no more than 6. Solid signs for every hole, some benches and trash cans. This course keeps you coming back to play better every time.
Cons: Benches only on 4 of 18 holes, Trash cans on 2 holes. The Brick tees get quite slippery when wet. Overhand throwers have a huge advantage, because they can throw over the trees on 16/18 holes (if they have the arm strength). That's about it. It'd be nice if they put in dual tees, and they slowly are (I think 9/18 have white tees with 4 X 4's in the ground painted white, but that's it. The land could have been used more creatively, but the park wouldn't let them cut down many trees.
Other Thoughts: From RHBH perspective: 7 straight holes (1 par 4), 4 anhyzer (3 par 4's), 1 hyzer hole, 3 straight/hyzer, 1 hyzer/anhyzer, 1 hyzer/straight/anhyzer. 1 straight/anhyzer. (based on multiple routes and pin locations).
elevation change: 4 downhill, 7 flat, 6 uphill, 1 down then up.
Awesome course.
