A line guide includes an enclosure end portion and a mounting end portion. Guide balls are rotatably positioned along an open passage of the enclosure end portion. The mounting end portion can include an elongated mounting post and a separate base portion, having an open interior that is shaped to releasably receive the mounting post. The base portion is driven into the ground and the mounting post of the line guide is removably and rotatably disposed within the base portion. A line is pulled through the open passage along a pathway around obstacles adjacent to the line guide. When use of the line is complete, the line guides are removed from the base portions, which are left in the ground for future use.
