Arguably Zero Trees 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 7, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

A well put together course that is the definition of open.

-Amenities: Grippy rubber teepads that seem to have been replaced at some point. Some tees have stakes with number and distance. DISCatchers. Also, at some point somebody added single chain baskets in shorter positions for every hole, which is a very nice touch that would make the course more accessible to small arms.

-Shot Shaping/Gameplay: For a course without trees, pretty solid. The distances range from 220'-600', so the throws are substantial. There is a bit of elevation that gets used to the full. Several holes are around a driveway that could denote OB areas, adding extra challenge. Especially notable are (2), bounded by a driveway on one side and a property line on the other, the short (4) with a basket in a rock formation, (5) playing over the driveway to a downhill sloping green, and (9), which has the only foliage on the course in the shape of three tree-ish guardian bushes.

-"Friendly": Well kept, hard to lose discs, easy to navigate, quick to play.

Cons:

-Open: Depending on how you define "tree", this course has literally zero. There are three pieces of guardian foliage near the basket on (9), but otherwise the mown grass is the tallest wildlife out here. I'm incredibly impressed at how interesting Euharlee Road ES is without trees, but it still holds it back severely.

-Kid-Friendly? I don't understand the intention behind the course, because it is way too long for elementary school students, even with the new short baskets. It's a fun place for 300' driver like me to throw, but is that who it's intended for?

-Restricted Hours: School courses aren't available a lot of the time. I was going to list safety as a con because driveways come into play constantly, but then I realized that you can only play when the driveways are empty anyway.

-Marker Decay: The tee markers need a refresh. Many are gone, and others are uprooted.

Other Thoughts:

I almost titled my review, "Literally Zero Trees", but alas, hole (9) has three. So much for the notoriety. Disappointments aside, Euharlee Road ES is a well put together, entirely open course that will provide some interest for medium-length throwers but zero appeal for those who like shaping. I think it's a Passable course, but definitely only for local use.

Two Trees Disc Golf Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 4, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

(1.374 Rating) A nearly completely open layout that will work for school kids and locals to practice their form and to try out new discs.
- QUICK PLAY - GMcAtee and I completed the round in 45 minutes. Figure less than 30 minutes for blind solos.
- CHAINS - DISCatcher baskets in adequate condition.
- DUEL PINS - There is one Instep basket located short of the DISCatcher basket on every hole.
- BEGINNER FRIENDLY - Due to extra short baskets, no overgrowth areas and no water hazards, this would be an ideal course to bring a beginner to. The course is probably also nice for Novice and Recreational players too who want to grip and rip.
- NAVIGATION - No course map or directional cues, yet no worries. It's just so open, that the simple wood tee markers are easy to spot. This makes traversing the course almost effortless.

Cons:

There really aren't any major flaws with this elementary school course, but the dearth of complexity is so evident that it will have many players bored to death.
- UNIQUENESS - The variety here is among the lower courses that I've scored. Players that enjoy the wooded element of disc golf should stay clear of this course. Seven completely open shots without a tree in play. There are two par 4s, the longest being just shy of 550 feet. So the driver will have to come out for even the longest throwers. There is also some modest elevation in the 15 to 20 foot range on a handful of holes
- NATURAL BEAUTY - Again, one of the lowest courses I've scored. I put in my bottom 10 out of 367 courses played as of this review. Ouch. I'll state again, the course is almost entirely open fields without any trees. There is just no imagination here. I hope the school starts a tree planting program, its desperately needed.
- LACK OF CHALLENGE - The challenge is one-dimensional being all length. I'm not even a big bomber and still shot 25 on this 3000 foot 9 holer. The wind will be the biggest challenge.
- CHARACTER - Other than nice baskets, Euharlee is missing the big ticket items seen at the top courses. The tees are below average rubber mats needing some leveling maintenance and ant poison. No community board or course map on site. No multi-tees or practice basket. There is no tee seating and tee shading is absent.

Other Thoughts:

If I lived in Euharlee, I'd probably be here weekly to practice my game, but I would be constantly planning out of town trips to Atlanta on the weekends. No need for out of area players to venture here unless they're an avid course bagger like myself. For the course's sake, I really hope that new trees get planted.
