They still haven’t cut the grass on the fairway on any of the holes. They charge more than last year for the annual disc golf pass but don’t care about the condition of the course. There are some holes that are too wet to cut but most of them are dry enough to mow. Stony Creek just doesn’t give a shit about disc golf players!!!

Great course, you will need every shot you have (in my case, shots I don't have). Time restraints kept my from playing the back nine on the green course, but everything I played was a lot of fun. A good variety of holes, a must play if you're in the area. Only downside is some of the tee pads have a drop off after them, be careful.

Great course, clean and plenty of amenities including a small clubhouse near the first hole. They have scorecards and sell snacks and drinks. All concrete tees and you can play 18 or 27, 19 starts where 18 ends which is right at the parking lot. 10,200 feet from the long tees. There is a 1000 foot shot right away if you play the longs. Not every hole has shorts. Some elevation changes (I would call it "rolling") with a wide variety of shots. Fairways are always mowed and the rough is tough in some spots. But that is why it's the rough. There is a premium on accuracy on some holes which I really like. The course is not easy but is also not difficult. Once the new signs are installed it will even be better. Likely top 7 course in Michigan in my opinion.

Ill start out with my opinion that this is an awesome course. I would recommend it to everyone to play once. It has so many holes and even some variety on each hole. It is well maintained and not extremely difficult. I have lost a couple discs, one being in the swamp, but it is well worth the fun. Nice pads, great baskets, well maintained and cut, plenty of variety, and cheap to play. Only downside is the amount of people there on a nice day. Plan to wait at multiple tees because of other groups.

I would rate the first 18 an A or even A+, however, the last 9 is very difficult and too easy to lose discs. We spent a ton of time looking for lost discs on that nine and ended up losing one on hol ... show more ›

I would rate the first 18 an A or even A+, however, the last 9 is very difficult and too easy to lose discs. We spent a ton of time looking for lost discs on that nine and ended up losing one on hole number 20. Some of those areas are so thick with thorny bushes that you can't even get in there to look for discs. Some of that stuff should be cleared out. Not to make it easier, just so you can actually find your discs if they go in there.

First time playing. Course would earn a higher score if they mowed more of the grass. They do carve out a nice fairway, but the sides might be a hundred feet wide of tall grass and weeds that eats discs up! Other than that a very fun course with a nice variety of shots including a short over a pond shot. I played the shorts this round but do want to come back and try the longs and maybe find my disc.

I was unable to play the full course, but 1-18 were really nice. There's a good mix of distances, open/wooded, and doglegs. The most notable missing element is elevation change. The majority of this course is pretty flat. Use a spotter on the blind holes, especially after the grass gets tall and the trees have filled in. Start strong because the course gets a lot tougher after the first 3. Overall, the park was clean and well taken care of. I would have no problem playing this course again.

Played Stony for the first time with my brother...tie game...
Hole 1 and 2 we threw without any idea of the position of the pin, really pissed me off when I went for the practice tee on hole 2.
Having to pay twice is crazy...purchased a $54 park pass but still gotta pay $2 to play...good thing the guy in the booth said "fuck it, have fun" cuz I didn't have $2

I had the pleasure of meeting one of the guys who built this course at my barber shop.He has never played with disc's just old school frizbees. This course was a good work out for my game. Like the basket placements on lot if the holes and the way the fairways dogged. Great course for all levels of play. Just so far from where I live. I be heading back though cause I like play this one. Later

I absolutely love this course! Well, the first 18 holes anyways... Holes 1-18 play phenomenal and will test your ability to get a good, clean drive. Also, there are some that play through the woods that keep you on your toes to place your shot accurately.

Then, there's holes 19-27. These holes seem like a completely different course. They have no flow to them, aren't ANYTHING like the previous 18 holes, and just felt like they were scrambled together to create more holes for the players. The 3rd 9 has you going over fallen trees, down VERY narrow fairways where the ground clearance is sometimes only about 5ft, and on one of the holes, you're shooting over a muck-filled swamp pit. Heaven forbid you catch your disc in that... And talk about the smell? YUCK.

Other than that, this course is amazing and it's easy to see why it's one of the top rated courses in Michigan. It can definitely get busy on the weekends and weeknights, so if at all possible, come out early. It can also get pricey if you do not have an annual pass for the metropark or a bag tag for the year.

It rained while I played here so quit after hole 13, therefore I can't really give it an accurate review. From what I saw though it seemed really difficult. The course was kept up nicely though minus the thorns everywhere in the brush. Only real complaint would be starting the course off with the first two holes being over 700ft each.

by far, my favorite course. i consider this my "home course" ive "grown up" as a discer on this course and i loved the challenge from my first game. the best part is that it has changed for the better. the new options have given this course something for everyone. the casual can play here and enjoy them self, and the pro can get a real challenge. my only gripes are the vandals. i would give this an A+ if they did two things... took care of the vandals via patroled rangers... and added a bathroom/drinking fountain some where in the middle of the course.

A The new layout has a country club feel. The park has done a über job at creating what I feel is one of te best courses in the state. They have cleared the fairways to keep a route available and trimmed where necessary to give people a chance to keep track of errent shots. Other courses around could take a lesson here. Great job!! World class course for sure!!!

Excellent course. Could use some better signage though - indicating distance (on all holes / tee pads instead of just some), indicating rough shape of the hole / basket placement (in case not using the Stony Creek score cards), and direction to the next holes. All in all, a fantastic course. I wish I didn't have to pay to get into the park and then again to play, but it's certainly a welcome treat.

For less experienced players, the new holes (19-27) are going to prove far more difficult than the first 18, but they've got some great, unique, and challenging holes to offer.

Very long course, the longs starting with a 762 and 933. Plenty of wide open fairways, a couple of short ace runs, and a good mix of left and right. Love the 27 holes and 10,000+ foot total yardage the most, but it's always well maintained and part of a great park. A- only because it's a bit too open and not enough trickiness necessary, but still a top notch course.

Great new set up. Getting out of the first few holes less than a handful over par will challenge most. The shule on many of the new holes is an impossible tangle of rose and rasberry bushes (a nasty combo) and poison ivy, seriouly inpenatrable in some spots. I would think some of this will get beaten down some with play. 400 ft downhill bomber for the last hole is a great finish. There is a need for a few more picnic tables on the front 18 for us old players. Some attempt to get the trash back into the cans needs to be made. Great improvements that make this course flow like a championship course.

-Always cut

This is my home course so i am a bit bias but still top 15 course in Michigan from what i played. Its unfortunate that it is not used for tournament play more often when this is one of the the more elite courses in the area. Get course you wont be disappointed if you make the trip to play it.

The course changes have officially put Stoney Creek over the top. With a few more differences in elevation I would put it on the top of my favorite course list. It needs some breaking in, but I love the new holes. Coming back up the hill is a but of a spit in the face after a long 27 hole course but I'm sure it will do me good.

I have to be honest, this is my home course, but in all fairness it deserves an "A"!!! It has multiple dog legs on both right and left, it also covers multiple ranges in distance and gives you some tightshot duece holes. It can be a easy course to shoot a good under par game, but also can beat you up and keep you playing boagie golf. The worst part about the course is if played in the evening, hole 15 will blind you with the sun perfectly blasting you in the face right up the middle of the fairway!

Stony Creek Metropark is home to "The Buckhorn Disc Golf Course". Let's start with the positives and move to the drawbacks. Buckhorn is a solid place to play. The course offers 24 holes with 9 short pads and 1 short basket. If you only have time for 18 the horn makes that easy for you as well with a meeting point for 24 and holes after hole 8. The horn has many executable routes and offers potential to throw many different shots. There are opportunities for hyzers, anhyzers, thumbers, and plenty of other shots from many of the tees. The course offers long holes(one at 1000 ft.) and short ones as well, giving you a good mix throughout 24 holes. How the downside. In the past few years many trees and shrubs have been damaged by storms(not to mention the Ash Borer) and have thus been removed. The park is doing what it can to make this course as challenging as it used to be by planting new trees. The other pitfall of Buckhorn does not have anything to do with the course. This course has exploded in popularity over the past three years and packed during peak season. It becomes almost unplayable on summer weekends due to the casual count. There are a number of leagues that play here but most notably are Tuesday nights at 6pm, Battles at Buckhorn, random draw $5 doubles and Friday nights at 6pm mixed league. These leagues run through much of spring and summer. Buckhorn is worth checking out if you have the time but not a must play by any means.

A nice balance between two 18 hole courses. The blue course is long and open the green course is tight and shorter.

Pros: Very clean, always cut, nice scorecards with maps, refreshments and snack for sale at the booth, bathrooms.

Cons: The playground near hole 11 green needs to be removed! The rough is just amazingly ridiculous on the brand new hole 13 of the green. Hole 15 long, also on green is just a bad design. The fairways for 13 and 16 are in range, downhill and blind from 15's long tee box. Smart to keep your head up there and send a spotter.

Overall Stony is just a awesome place to disc. Proud to call it my home course! Definitely worth a trip! A

Great course to get out and throw on. Fairly well manicured almost always, and a good mix of difficulty on the front 18. Playable for all skill ranges, but there are a few holes that will challenge even veteran disc golfers. Most holes are wide open, but a few have some trees sprinkled in making for challenging shots.

The first 12 holes on this course are great. After that there is a lot left to be desired. There is some epic land here that was completely ignored and the field is one of the most dangerous areas I have seen on a course. From hole 15 you can hit 2 other hole's fairways easily. Same thing from 16s pad. There was a lot of potential wasted.

I would love to give an A for this course but the the ground keeping has dropped off the last 2 years. I have yet to play a round where all the fairways are mowed this year. They need trash cans at each hole to prevent litter from being tossed on the ground and beware of the rough and bushes as ticks are everywhere. I love all the challenges both of these courses offer. This is my favorite place to play, I just wished it was better maintained.
