Sullivan East High School DGC in Bluff City, TN is a 9 hole course with a short tee and long tee for each hole. I love courses like this because you can almost design your own layout as you go. You could loop the shorts twice to have 18 holes of shorts, or you could loop the long tees twice so you could have 18 holes of longs. Furthermore, you could also flip a coin (or disc) on each hole and switch it up per hole, essentially making a different layout each time you play the course. As for the course itself, this course is mostly shorter with a couple longer holes that let am players really open up. My favorite part about this course is the fact that when I first pulled up to the school parking lot and saw the property, I instantly thought that there was no way there was a full 9 hole course on this property. But there is! I think that speaks to the design of this course as the property makes it look like a disc golf course would be impossible to put here, but they managed to pull it off! As I said before, most of the holes are on the shorter side but that doesn't mean they are not tricky, There is tons of elevation changes, some tight tunnel shots, and plenty of OB's in play which gives this short course some teeth. Trust me, I shot terribly on this course even though I know that the birdie potential is there for me on nearly every hole. Both layouts on this course are very fun and there are some really tricky pin positions. Hole 6 instantly pops into my mind where you have to hit a tunnel shot between two fenced off tennis courts and the basket is placed on the corner of a ridge with a drop-off right AND long of the basket. My personal favorite hole on the course! Another hole that REALLY stands out to me is hole 9. On this hole you are teeing downhill and across concrete with the basket placed on a small island green. Just a super fun hole that you will throw several on once you miss the island. Personal experience talking again there. All in all, this isn't the "test your might" type of course that you are going to be telling everyone they must go play, but if you are in the area and enjoy fun short layouts, this is one you don't want to miss. My one complaint about the course would be the baskets. The baskets are mostly (if not all) portable practice baskets that were set in place with concrete. This is definitely a small gripe as they are placed permanently and serve the purpose they are meant for, I just felt it was worth mentioning in my review. Just expect the potential for chain-outs on these as they are not the tournament style permanent baskets. Did I like the course? Yes! Will I go play this course again? Absolutely! The next time I am in the area and have some free time, I will absolutely play this one again and try and take my score down quite a bit!

Baskets and marked tees around the High School campus.
Stays mostly away from interference with other campus activities, especially if you don't throw over the tennis court fences.
Pretty good distance and balance for a school course, 3 downhill holes, 3 uphill and 3 flat holes, you can't get more balanced than that.
Great grass on most of the holes, only a couple of interactions with pavement.
#9 finishes right back next to #1, not always the case with a campus course.

The baskets are all portables, various colors and makes, but they caught pretty well.
Natural tees marked with Red and Blue (nice touch) landscaping flags that probably won't last too long. There is pavement nearby on several holes to use.
There are a few chances for lost disc potential, neighboring property fences and thick undergrowth.
The island green on #9 is a great idea, however the traffic island in the parking lot is pretty small, probably not even Circle 1 in size.

A pretty basic High School course, an unusual collection of various portable baskets, natural tees with no sign of tee pads, laid out to get students involved in the sport. A great way to introduce new players to the sport!
A difficult course to follow without the map on UDisc, the first hole starts at the back of the campus, right next to the #9 island green. When I showed up on a Sunday morning the gates were locked at both entrances, after contemplating (and not seeing any strict No Trespassing signs) I parked in front of one of the fences (to the side to not block the entrance) and walked in. Didn't see another person during my round and had no problems. The course flows around to the front of the campus, so I started on #6.
While most of the holes are straight, most do require some type of shot shaping. #4 turns right around the tennis courts and #5 requires a pretty sharp hyzer around a large tree.
After a pretty tight fairway on #1, fenced property to the left and thick overgrowth on the right, #2 gives you some choices. From an elevated tee, fenced property line down the left side to the basket only 15'-20' from that edge. Wide open, flat grass fairway straight ahead and to the right, so how far do you want to throw to the right and count on your fade?
#3 is probably the funnest hole on the course, flat tee area for Blue (469') and the White (409'), steady downhill to the basket, that is close to the second set of tennis courts on the right. You want to really let one rip to set up the eagle on this Par 4, but there is another property line down the left side, and it would be easy to sail one on the tennis courts down the right side.
Its good to see smaller courses like this pop up in this area of East Tennessee. There are so many good, challenging courses there, that this gives the newer and younger players a place to go to build their games.
