Euharlee Middle School is about as basic and simple of a course as you'll find. There's no fancy bells or whistles to lure you in and if you're like me, you've probably heard no tales of must play holes and the like. I just heard there was a nine-hole course here and have been wanting to check it off the list. I suspect many others will stumble on the course in much the same way.

Pulling into the parking lot, I had readied myself for a typical short school course. Admittedly, I quickly became a little concerned as about a dozen baskets (some Discatchers and some that appear to be DGA M-14's) are just seemingly peppered around a large wide-open field with no apparent discretion as to their placement. Turns out, there is a method to the madness. The Discatchers are in fact the main course baskets while the more rickety, portable baskets, are in spots that seemed like quasi alternative short placements. If I had to guess, they are probably the original baskets that were replaced by the much more sturdy and dependable Discatchers. Now, with perhaps the idea of retiring them seeming like a waste of baskets, they are placed in such a way to give a shorter alterative for perhaps the new or less skilled students. Earlier reviews made mention of additional golf holes to the listed nine-hole course, but I could find no evidence of that in either signage or logical flow.

Speaking of baskets, the yellow banded Innova set is numbered. Together, along with some decent rubber tee pads and makeshift numbered tee markers, they make it easy to navigate. All but the least familiar with the concept of disc golf will find their way through the course with only a brief look around a time or two (once you find hole one's tee pad anyway).

For a school course, and what you'd assume is the target audience, it has some surprisingly long holes. The 550' hole six is the longest hole while only a third of the holes on the entire course are under 300'. Together, the course is roughly 3100' long, and again, for an elementary school P.E. course, that's a pretty long track by anyone's measure. The course plays pretty much wide open the entire time so while obstacles are not really in play to speak of, length is the opponent for the kids out here. Of course, the course does play around the road and a fenced area so incorporating and designating some out-of-bounds areas could add some challenge. There is some very gradual elevation that comes into play although it's nothing remarkable.

It's worth noting that even in the middle of July, the grass was mown hinting that maintenance is consistent year-round.

This is a good place to practice, especially field work.

There isn't much of a fun factor on the course. Even those that like a more open course rather than woods will certainly grow weary of the steady dose of basic wide-open shots. Let's face it, the course is bland and boring. And for me personally, I just didn't like the vibe of the place. It's has a certain utility or industrial feeling. There's no remarkable or memorable landscaping or natural features to add to the enjoyment of the round. Plus, there is a view of the big power station, plant Bowen, behind the middle school across the street with its looming smokestacks. It reminded me more of the scene from Pink Floyd's album cover, Animals, than a disc golf course with the overall atmosphere.

If you live close, this is probably not a course that will have you longing to come back repeatably. It does have a practical purpose though. I imagine using it as a driving range, throwing at the different baskets around the field. It would be a great place to go on windy days to work on drives in from different directions.

There's nothing extraordinary or outstanding in the way of pros or cons. It's just your basic nine-hole course in an open field with less than top notch amenities.

Chances are, if you don't live close, you are probably only playing here to add another course to your played list. It's off the beaten path but if you find yourself within 30 minutes of the course it's worth a stop if you are on a course bagging quest.

Decent open course, fairly short and beginner friendly. The rubber throw mats are acceptable and a decent size, though not ideal when wet. The main baskets are disc catchers and catch very well and are very standard for PDGA approved baskets.

There are several temporary baskets in place bringing this up to 13 holes. The temporary baskets are not ones i'm familiar with, but are partially damaged and don't add much to the course. Though the ones that were in good shape caught pretty well, and have red powder coating see you can see them far off.

The main positive about this course as it is the only Public course in Bartow County currently.

Fairly short, mostly flat. The extra holes don't add much to the layout. Overall it's not one you're going to drive out of your way to go see. But not a bad one if you just need to practice some shots.

It's nice to have another option during the hours when school is not in in Bartow County, there's not many courses on my way home from work and this one gives me an option. Overall a big thank you to whoever put it in, because it could have been much worse.

This will never be a tournament quality course, but at a school that really isn't the point.

Should be a great place for the kids to get some exercise and learn a new sport.
