Pros:
I'm not one given to hyperbole and I try to be critical and balanced in my reviews (please see my review history to verify) but I really struggle to find much negative to say about Stonelick. Outside of the truly legendary courses I've played, such as Hornet's Nest and Idlewild, Stonelick ranks as one of my favorite experiences. Here are the pros:
-2 sets of teepads and 2 pin positions on every hole
The longs and shorts weren't just there for beginners and vets, they generally offered completely different shots. We played the shorts, but on several occasions thought that the line from the longs actually looked easier. I'm not sure how often the baskets are moved to new pins, but that also significantly changes the hole. For example, hole 14 goes from a 300' par 3 to a 500' par 4 depending on the pin position.
-Great variety in shots
Hole 1 is a 600' fairly open par 4 and 6 holes are 400'+ when playing the longs. There is some elevation changes, several wooded holes, a couple ace runs, a water carry, and hole 13 has 2 possible fairways with a "V" shaped teepad.
-The environment is wonderful, right on the lake
Stonelick seems to be a park based around the lake and the course incorporates water whenever possible. Holes 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, and 17 all play near the lake's edge, with 10 actually being a water carry to a peninsula green.
-Tons of parking
Hole 1 is by a very large lot, but if that were full you could also start at hole 8 which has an even larger lot.
-Bathroom between hole 11 and 12
-Very little crossover with other park activities.
Holes 7 & 11 play relatively near a parking area and I could see oblivious park goers wandering onto 10s green or bank fishing near the water holes, but for most of the course I felt like the course was ours alone.
-Signage was great
There was some controversy trying to get the tee signs in place but they are there and great. They include the sponsor's name, a historic fact about the area, and a diagram of the hole including a note regarding the location for the long and short pad. There were also signs indicating the next tees location on many holes and I noted at least 2 signs warning park patrons that they were entering flying disc areas (including on 10s green)
-Divers are good about returning discs
I didn't let this inform my overall rating, but I think it's nice to note. Nearly every month a diver posts all the discs they found on the local lost and found page. This includes uninked discs. Hope this continues!
Cons:
Not a ton of negatives, but definitely a few that I'd note
-Can definitely get muddy
This course is built around a lake so it does hold water. When I played it hadn't rained in 2 days but holes 1 & 2 both were swampy as well as anywhere near the lake.
-Lost disc risk
With this much water in play a lost disc is definitely a strong possibility (I went swimming on 10 to grab my brother's errant tee shot). A couple of the holes have pins within 40' of the lake while others have a steep hillside all along the fairway with a rollaway risk leading to the water.
-14 long is tough
When in the long position, the shot is a 270' uphill shot followed by a left turn and another 230' downhill shot, with water along the edge. I personally liked the hole, but it's not everybody's cup of tea.
-Saw some poison ivy
-As others have said, the double mando on 18 short is punitive. The mando on the left makes sense as it prevents a shot over the parking lot, but the right mando should be ignored.
-Not tour level
The only reason I mention this is I've seen it suggested on the local disc golf page that this course could be a good compliment to Idlewild for a Worlds bid. In it's current configuration the pros would eat this course up. Unless a set of gold tees were thoughtfully added I doubt this course would serve that purpose.
Other Thoughts:
This course was an absolute delight. There was a little bit of everything. With the longs and shorts for tees and baskets I feel like you could play this course regularly and not tire of it. Overall, I just couldn't find much substantial to complain about. I highly recommend this course for anyone in the area or for those making a trip to the region for a disc golf road trip.
