History
Bud Kelley Disc Golf Course (DGC) was designed by Planet Earth Designs and course designers Ryan Harris and Austin Lytle. The course was developed by J.R. Bowman Construction of McDonough, Georgia. The project idea was initiated through a partnership between Henry County Parks and Recreation and the Henry County Disc Golf Club.
Bud Kelley Park was named in memory of Edwin Bud Kelley, a lifelong resident of Henry County whose family was instrumental in establishing the Kelleytown Community in McDonough. Mr. Kelley served as a Henry County Commissioner from 1969 to 1976 and was nicknamed the "Mayor of Kelleytown." Mr. Kelley thrived on serving people and never wavered in his desire to help others, making great strides for the betterment of Henry County. He was influential in the idea to establish Henry Medical Center in Stockbridge.
The Grand Opening/Ribbon Cutting Ceremony occurred on December 19, 2025.
