Stoney Creek DGC is a fun 18 hole disc golf experience that plays through Marie Krause Park in Fredonia, WI, and will leave you wanting to come back again and again.
1) Tee / Basket quality - red powder coated baskets that were easily spottable in the woods and caught well. Concrete tees were super nice - I remember a little bit of size variance, but they were all plenty big, and relatively new, so they gripped very well.
2) Dual Tees & Mulitple Pin Placements - The challenge level diversity available here is extremely broad - there are 2 tees on most, if not every hole (I think *maybe* one or two holes were single tee, but this is what happens when you struggle to find time to review a course until 2 weeks later), and each hole had a minimum of 2 pin placements, most with 3. Long tees seemed straight up Open level play, and even the short tees will challenge good amateurs. Mix in the pin locations (skewed a little short on my visit, but there were plenty of longs), and you have a course that has a diverse challenge appeal.
3) Extras - community board and port a potty by hole 1, and benches/chairs at many tees. I can tell there's a strong local following here - much of the seating was clearly donated. Still though, it's a testament to the regulars there and their love for the course! Speaking of: You'll be crossing the creek often here, and one quirky little homemade thing that is really cool when you think about it is that the bridges over the water are generally pairs of fallen trees, with short sections of 2x4 cut to about a 2'-3' length connecting them, laid out next to each other, and bolted into the fallen trees to fashion homemade bridges.
4) Quality of golf - it was really superb. My first visit here a few years ago, the "front 7", which played along a hillside, was considerably blander than the rest of the course, but in the time since, it has really grown in nicely with extra trees, brush, etc...miss your lines back here, and you're going to be in trouble. Then, starting with hole 8 (see below), you enter the creek portion of the course, and my goodness, does this course shine here. Water plays abound, pin locations close to the creek, tight wooded fairways to navigate, tons of really superb risk/reward golf. This is, I think, the strongest part of the course. I might have called a few of the front 7 throwaway holes a few years ago, but I don't think there's a single throwaway hole here now. Lots of diversity in L/R, R/L lines, hole length, and just enough open-ish holes to mix break up the strings of all woods holes.
5) Hole 8 - one of the more iconic holes in the Milwaukee area. First creek hole on the course, with the creek forming a circle around the "A" pin - don't miss your ace run, or you'll be getting wet! If you're shooting at the "B" pin, then you'll be spared the chance to sink your ace run into the drink, but you'll still need a good, long, well placed drive to stay out of the water too!
