Still a beautiful course, just a lot of huge casual groups, and the park keeps cutting bushes and trees out. Its taking all the challenge out of what use to be a really challenging course.

Not the course it used to be. Starting to become a casual wasteland. Good shots selections and challenging but not my first thought when I think about where to go play for the day.

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 ...

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!

Great new lay-out. I hope they do add 3 more holes, as I've heard they might.

Well-worn course with lots of variety. Straying off the fairway is punished heavily in places, which keeps even the shorter holes interesting.

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.

The course is in perfect shape,now. Fairways are mowed, course is clean, and the casuals are few between. Still $2 to play, but the 50 is working at keeping the riff-raff off the course. Pay the $2 or get hit with a ticket.

Got some open long ones, short birdies, sweet turnover shots, some real sick (super smooth Placement to get a 3), awesome woods shots , tunnel shots! The works! Only Downside the CASUALS!! holy hell terrible!!!!!!!!!!!

Stoney is one of the top courses in the metro detroit area. the course blends short fitness shots with plenty of wide open risk-reward holes. Holding par can be a chore under the right conditions.

Even though the course is pay to play, it shows that the money is well spent because the course is very well maintained. This course is a real challenge; for serious disc golfers only. The fairways are mostly very wide, but the holes are long and often have large trees and bushes in the way. If you don't consider yourself a pro, I recommend playing par 4s.

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 ...

This course was the easiest of any state park course i've ever played. It defiantly challenged my distance game but that's about it. Long open fairways on almost every hole and dispute there being trash cans at every tee, tons of garbage on the ground. decent scenery at best...

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

Great course overall! Tons of garbage cans, polite players, and well maintained from what I saw. Course is really varied in terms of shot selection. A good mix of Ponds and Rolling Hills, drives and technical shots. Hole 11 was really cool IMO. I would love to play all 27 when I can.

My home course. The new layout makes it fun and interesting after a long run with the old layout. Great Course. Maintenance could do with a little help. Lots of teenagers later in the summer days.

One of the best courses in the area. Great use of elevation and technical lines. A good amount of shorter holes, but those even have lines you gotta hit. 6 holes of 400' + make you open up on your throws. Very challenging course with gorgeous fairways.

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.

Like the other Metroparks, this course is very well maintained. Where this course distinguishes itself from the other Metroparks is that it combines distance and smarts. Some of the holes at the beginning were slightly repetative, but it was still a good challenge.

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. ...

Good course. Hazards are 99.9 percent tree's. The 2 buck bag fee after paying to get into the park is a bit shocking, especially since the tee map is horribly inaccurate but still had a good time!

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

Great variation of open and wooded holes. Some holes you can grip and rip, while others require a lot of touch. The only thing lacking in the course is some more elevation.

My favorite course. Best in SE MI in my opinion. I will admit it could be better by having hole descriptions at the tee boxes for those who don't play there often, but that doesn't really concern me.
