Marie Kraus Park nestled just off of the Milwaukee River in Fredonia, WI is home to quite the gem of a disc golf course. Stoney Creek DGC is chalk full of everything that makes a course worth coming back to again and again. Gorgeous views, challenging shots, fun & adventurous flow through rolling wooded hills and a winding creek that offers up more than a few intimidating decisions to make. It was love at first sight for me. So stop reading this review and get out there and check out this course. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Pros:
When you drive in, you know you're in for a treat. It's a public course that's be designed well and you can see there's a lot of attention to detail, here.
- Practice basket between hole 1 and the parking lot.
- Donation box, if you want to support their efforts, but not currently P2P.
- 2 large and level teepads on every hole.
- 2 pin positions for each hole, one basket installed in either position.
- Baskets were easy to spot (bright red) and were in perfect condition.
- Large garbage cans throughout the course. Very little trash anywhere.
- The course does not interfere with any of the other park features.
I would have liked to have played both short and long positions, so I'll be back to play the shorts in the near future. The quality of the course design here is really what makes this great. You play uphill, downhill, and along the hill on the first 7 holes of the course. Much of the rest of the course has you playing risk/reward golf with the river coming into play either through the hole, behind the basket, or along the side of the hole. Where they could have made the river your main obstacle, they used it to enhance the experience while still forcing you to choose your lines through the woods. There are very few holes that I would call open, here, and if they are "open", there's still an element of hitting a gap or playing something other than an open-field hyzer shot.

Cons:
Nothing that I can think of. The only thing keeping this from being a perfect course is the amenities that are nice to have, but aren't feasible out here, like a pro-shop, indoor bathrooms, etc...

Cons:
lots of trip hazards on the back nine
signs on the back nine
teepads on the back nine
basically the back nine is newer so
it needs to be finished and beat in a little more
bugs were horrible in some spots.
pretty good hike

Other Thoughts:
this course is a world class place to play disc golf. its got all the shots you love, all the shots to challenge you and all the distance to make you feel like you've worked for your score. It's also got all the obstacles to drive you crazy and send you into fits. the new back nine are just simply amazing. a winding creek and bog marsh on multiple holes makes you feel like your playing disc golf in another world. by far the best course within 40 mins of milwaukee. this course is for sure not for the beginner or faint of heart. this course is pretty great all around and has a special place in my heart. a four disc course at the very minimum. most of the other reviews for this course are old from when it was just a nine hole course so the rating should be higher(so i am inflating my rating slightly, solid four disc course for sure).
