Claystone Getting Some Love! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 20, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Fun course, some holes are far more challenging than others.
Well groomed and maintained.
Easy to navigate.

Cons:

You have to pay to get into the park (not play disc golf)
Couple holes are shorter but with what they had to work with, makes sense.
Some teepads are skinny
Tee signs need some love..

Other Thoughts:

Looks like the Macon crew is putting in some work to get this course top notch.
The walk on 15 isn't that big of a deal, it does take some time but it's not far out of the way.

Looking forward to the Throw at the Stone now!

Macon the grade 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 24, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Every hole had a good sign and a concrete tee pad. The shape of fairways and concentration of trees was varied from hole to hole. Not a long course, but a few holes will test your arm for distance. A very nice walk through woods and along the lake shore.

Cons:

Most holes are quite easy to reach, which will decrease the challenge for very skilled disc golfers. Some camp sites and roads are close to the fairway on one or two holes. Paying $3 per person was uncool, should be $3 per car IMO (especially if you are only playing one round).

Other Thoughts:

A fun course that I would recommend to explorers looking to get one more good course in. Not the most challenging you will find, but very nice layout with some water and distance on the back nine. Glad I included it on my daytrip.

Quick play, with chance for a swim 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 28, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Quick play, took me an hour and ten mins to play a full round (which included a few delays...explained later)

- Nice use of open fields, elevation, tess, and of course, the lake.

- MOSTLY away from campground and beaches.

- Cleared out fairly well.

-VERY good flow to this course, only hangup was The walk around the lake on Hole 15

-Great mix of distances, some as low as 170 ft, with some holes in the upper 300's

-While the first 10 or so holes are mostly under 225ft, they still provide a nice variety of shots.

- Pads and Baskets both in great conditions

-Holes 16-18 are Just beautiful open holes by the lake

Cons:

-Hole 15...the walk around the lake is a killer. beautiful hole. poorly done. ALSO, I had to throw around boats, and a guy tying up his boat on the shore on the tee side of the lake (see photo in links)

-If you have a bad shot, prepare to spend some time searching, outside of the fairways, it can be overgrown.

-Had to deal with campers (who are slow to move) on holes 11 (campsite to the right of hole) and 14. (road to the right of the hole)

-Pads are very narrow (2' or so wide), but they are fairly long

-People flying by on Jetski's on the lake can be distracting

-Grass was a little high in some places, but nothing out of the ordinary for georgia in the summer

-$3 park entry fee

Other Thoughts:

-Even though there are some negatives, and the fact i lost a disc on this course, i'd still reccomend this to anyone in the area. Good, well though out (minus hole 15) course

-If from out of the area, there is a "beach" for swimming in the lake at this park. come down, play a round, and dive in the lake to cool off before a second round. Easy to play 2 rounds in a day and get your money's worth

A little short but sweet 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 17, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Easy to navigate. Most of course in good repair. Grounds are mostly well kept. The course makes good use of the elevation. Teepads are concrete. Nice metal tee signs. Good flow, loops back to start. Fairways do not cross and are well defined. #15 is very nice epic over water shot.

Cons:

Holes 3-7 are a little short. One of the teepads is crumbling/broken, one is being repaired. Teepads are a little small, I didn't measure them but them seemed smaller than 4x8.

Other Thoughts:

#1 Teepad is missing (from a tornado?) but the form is there, I'm guessing they will pour a new one soon. Some erosion control may be needed on a couple teepads on the back 9. There is at least one nice bench that I remember, and i saw at least one trashcan. I don't use benches and I pack out my trash so those items being in short supply don't mean as much to me as some reviewers. I have my doubts about some of the yardage on the signs, but as I have no means to measure the distance it could just be me. There is an alternate "fairway" on #15 shows on the tee sign(see the photos I posted here) for people who don't want to risk a long shot over water. I think this is an excellent beginner course. No "next tee" signs I noticed, but with the leaves down this time of year I had zero difficulty locating the next tee.
