Easy access from highway, decent parking.

Tee pads are falling apart. Tee signs are milk jugs with a stick and paper sign, kids move them all over, so you don't know where they are actually supposed to be. Hard to find next tee on several holes.

I went back and played this course again, after avoiding it like the plague for 2 years, because I had heard that some improvements had been made. It was still horrible. No tee pad or sign on 1, 3, 4, 5, 10, and no pad on 7, 12 or 13. The course is not maintained at all. Dilapidated baseball dugouts covered in grafitti on 6, abandoned building on 3, basket 4 is hidden behind thick bushes, so you make up your own tee pad and throw at 5 without meaning to. Drive 7 miles east to Fire Mountain. It's worth it.

The Stoney Ridge DGC in Silt is kind of difficult to figure out. It appears to have not one but two practice baskets. The course starts behind the ball field and plays directly away from the field, across the big vacant lot. Don't believe anything I'm writing here because I was fairly confused the entire time I was attempting to navigate this strange course. The signage is sparse and inconsistent. So I think I was able to piece together the general route of the course.

So # 1 plays across the vacant lot to a basket over in the far corner. There I found a sign lying on the ground. I think # 2 was 250' across the lot to a basket by the street. # 3 got confusing coming back to ? One of the three baskets around where the two practice baskets are? Next 4 & 5 head out toward the old ball field which appears not to be used anymore. Then I play 6 & 7 before playing a short uphill hole, # 8, 165'. Now you're up on the ridge above the main field, out high above the right field fence. # 9 plays along the ridge line towards center field. # 10 is out in center field. Then # 11 plays on the ridge towards left field. # 12 plays back towards center field and finally # 13 is a downhill toss to a basket sitting behind the center field fence. These ridgeline holes feature some steep drop-offs and severe elevation changes.

The course has carpet tee pads and Discatcher baskets with the yellow bands. The signs are laminated plastic ones, many of which are missing.

The layout is pretty confusing. It kinds of goes all over the place. Without an on-line map, I finally figured it out, but it took me quite a while.

Sketchy signage.

Tee pads are lumpy and inconsistent to throw off.

Area down by unused ball field has a real skanky feel to it.

The holes out past the outfield fence could be treacherous after a rain.

Having two practice baskets seem like a major overkill on this course. Set one out somewhere and make a 14th hole, even if it's a short ACE run. I don't believe this course gets much play. With the ruggedness of those ridge holes, a certain population of players would probably stay away, including older senior types, families and others.

- baskets are in good shape
- 2 practice baskets at start
- a few shots with quite a bit of elevation change, making for some interesting shots
- quite a few technical holes either with weaving through trees or placing a disc on a ridge line
- the layout brings you right back to the parking lot
- the layout plays relatively quickly

- the tee pads are carpet, which isn't so bad but they are just very lumpy
- the tee signs only have numbers
- the course could use some more signage to help out with navigation, there were a few times playing the course that I wasn't sure where to go or which basket to shoot at
- a few holes could lead to safety issues if the course was busy
- the terrain on the ridge can be pretty rough especially if you get a bad roll

A fun little course and with some improved signage could be an even better one. Bring hiking boots, 8-13 are on some pretty rough terrain.
