Funky Back Nine

Front Nine ok; back nine is poorly designed. They reroute some holes, took out some holes; it felt like they put in the back nine as an afterthought to the housing development.

Great pace, greens in good shape.

For a sunny Saturday in Seattle it was great to play a round in 4 hours. The course was in really good shape, greens good but a bit slow. Elk run has some great views and is always a fun place to play.

Great shape right now, get a hot deal and you're golden

Got a hot deal and played a weekday afternoon. Quick pace of play, finished in under 4 hours with 3 of us. Fairways were ok, greens were great. They'd be pristine if people would fix their ball marks. Best shape I've seen it.

Short, but sweet

Short, but sweet. For sure, a confidence buider, great for the high handicapper. They really made it into a fun layout for most everyone. It was my first time out to the course and let me tell you, I was impressed. The conditioning of the course was good and the greens were perfect...and this was in early April, in the rain, and a few weeks after they punched the greens. The course had big beautiful trees and wildlife too (3 deer on hole #8) I can't wait to go back and play it in the summer with my buddies. Elk Run...A Big Thumbs Up.

Front 9 drains very well, quiet, all holes vary, lots of elevation changes.

Played this course in early April after about a week and a half of dry weather. The front played very dry with only a few small wet areas. The greens were recovering well from spring aeration but still had a quite a bit of sand on them.
The course was peaceful and quiet considering it's location and proximity to train and auto traffic noise.
Be alert when playing 11,12,and 13 on the back especially if the course is busy. Errant shots from embarrassed golfers who don't shout could be an issue.
Lots of up and down. 18 is narrow but driveable. If you're old and out of shape like me, rent a cart for this one.

From tee box to greens, the course was in great shape especially for this time of year.

Enjoyed playing Elk Run. The course has enough challenge but for a novice like me, I wasn't intimidated. I would definitely play Elk Run again!

Fun challenging course. Great for improving your technical game.

The course needs to additional markers on the course to help players determine distance to the hole. I would say 16 of the 18 holes had 100 yard markers and nothing else. It's annoying and takes away from the experience..

Nice local course

Played just after a huge rainstorm. Drainage was good as the conditions were fine. Carts are a bit dated, but I enjoyed the course.

Great value!

Play here! This is a great place to play to keep your game alive. Never too crowded, very friendly staff and a fun course to play. I try to play the front nine a few times rather than the back side, fewer homes on the front nine, better views, better layout. None the less this course is a great value especially when you are trying to get in 36 holes.
