-Offers a few interesting shots. For instance, hole 2 is a putter shot around or over a protected area which I know for sure contains snakes. I liked this hole because its easy to avoid. You can tell that they tried to make it at least somewhat interesting.

-You'll find the first hole once you get to the parking lot. So navigation isn't hard.

-Course is easy, but does show what makes a hard hole. Such as placement shots and one hole is about 300 ft. Seems like a course where every student on the disc golf team can show their potential.

-Just really bland. Nothing to see here if you are a tournament player. I played on the way back from the Trailblazer Open and realized that I would be playing my 100th course. Lol!

-Hole 5 is the longest hole on the course. The design is cool, as it plays as a slight anhyzer out of a slightly wooded area. But the area is covered in weeds. Took a few steps in there and was like "Nope." After my tournament friend Cliff told me about how he and his nephew saw not one army of snakes at Eastway, but two of them and one maybe ten times larger than the other, I've become more cautious. There are courses at so many schools in the Rock Hill area, so they've got to be maintained in case of competitions.

-Seems like most of the land is restricted, so a rather boring nine holer was the only option. After some negative feedback of my review of Frank Liske, I've heard that a designer's biggest issues are the restrictions he faces.

-For what it was designed for, it's good practice. It's a bummer if this was all the land available for a school course in a town where disc golf teams and clubs in school are a more important necessity to a school. But reading the other reviews, it seems to be more enjoyable for players that are closer to the beginner side.

-The course at South Pointe is pretty cool and a little better than this one. I'd head over that way, or play Rawlinson Road.

Bearcat is a good, varied beginner course on the campus of Rock Hill High. By school standards, this is one of the more enjoyable courses.
- Good variety. #1 is a solid opener. Midrange hole with rough/wetlands running along the entire right side and a parking lot along the left. #2 is a little uphiller teeing off alongside a rock. Unlike Sullivan, this is the only rock that comes into play.
- #3 & 4 are nice little downhill shots. Either one may tempt you to throw a second or third disc as you insist you should be able to make a run directly to the basket.
- It's a good course to introduce newcomers to the game. None of the baskets comes close to the main road, so that's not a problem. And with only one hole longer than 250 feet (#5 at 298 feet), you don't need a big arm here. Second longest is only 218 feet - #1.
- Course is easy to navigate. It's easy to spot the tee sign posts with the possible slight exception of #2 if you don't walk far enough. Even though you can see multiple baskets at any time, it's not difficult figuring out which one to throw at.
- Course encourages aggressive tee shots with this layout. Your biggest penalties are if you go right on #1, 4, or 5. On #4 & 5 especially, there are some nasty thorns in that rough. Playing in January, I had on long pants and layered shirts and those thorns still managed to work their way through.
- It's great that a high school has a disc golf course. It's a nice little plot of land for this type of course. I hope a lot of students get introduced, and hooked, on the game by playing here.

For intermediate level or above, the course presents very little challenge. There are strategically located trees on #3, 4, & 6. Otherwise, even an overly aggressive tee shot should likely only yield a par at worst.
- In terms of length, there's very little variety. I only threw a driver on #6. It's only 164 feet and uphill. I opted for driver here because I wanted a big skip on a low tee shot around a tree. And, seeing my disc underneath the basket, I made the right call.
- #8 & 9 are basic filler holes. It's not the greatest look when a course seemingly runs out of steam after seven holes.
- Tee markers were inconsistent. I say this is only an issue because it impacted several holes from being easier or more difficult if you're teeing off 10 feet to the right vs 10 feet to the left of the tee marker. On #9, for example, choosing the side of the tee signs alters whether you're throwing right at the basket with no obstacles (left of tee marker) vs having a little tree obstacle and having to throw more of sweeping shot (right of the tee sign).
- The course has no amenities, not that any are needed. There's a board by the first tee, and that's about it. Being a high school and aimed for its students, water fountains, bathrooms, etc. are inside the school.

If you live more than 5 minutes away from this course, you're not playing here unless you're bagging.
- The course was decent, but unmemorable. #1 & 4 are the most scenic, and probably memorable, designs but even they're rather mundane. It would be nice to see something just a tad more significant here.
- This is pretty middle of the pack in terms of the Rock Hill/York County school courses. It is better than Castle View Middle, just down the road. So if you live close by, this is the one to play and/or practice at.
- I like that there's a sidewalk/path that takes you directly from here to Sullivan Middle. If you choose to play both courses, it's easier to just walk from one to the other. It's barely a tenth of a mile to go from #5, walk to Sullivan, start your round on that course's #6, play all nine there, walk back, and pick back up on #6.
- It had been 11 and a half years since the first time I played here. In the meantime, I've played more than 300 additional courses, which may have helped me appreciate this layout a little more. If they're not going to afford the course more land, this is about as good as you can expect. As such, I've bumped my rating up a half point.
