(1.583 Rating) A quirky chip shot ace race course with one par 4.
- FUN FACTOR - I normally don't comment on this aspect, but since I was reaching for nice things to comment on, I'll start here. The short tee layout is currently set up as a birdie bonanza for players that can throw 250 feet. The ace potential is high and losing a disc in overgrowth or water is not possible. Unlike nearby Old Siler Farm, this one is great for newer players as it's very forgiving to poor shots.
- NAVIGATION - It's just numbered posts as of this review, but the course layout is so open that even without a map, players will figure it out real quick.
- CHAINS - I agree with the prior review, DISCatchers are always a pro.
- QUICK PLAY - A twenty minute pit stop for course baggers.
- GROW THE SPORT - Unlike the other course in town, The Macon Middle School course has the potential to grow the player population rather than crush their spirit.

New course issues and site constraint shackles.
- MULTI USE HAZARDS - On my travels to older disc golf courses I'll sometimes find new outdoor park fitness equipment placed in existing disc golf lines. The Macon Middle School course switched the roles on this, by incorporating the existing equipment into the line development. Holes (4) and (5) have the equipment sitting on the direct line. I'm not a fan. In addition, the dogleg on hole (3) hooks around a pavilion and the tee shot on (6) plays over a shed and pockets adjacent to two ball field fences. I took off about a quarter point for all these issues.
- LACK OF CHALLENGE - The short tees are a borderline novice level layout were eight of the nine tee shots are under 250 feet. There are obstacles on every hole, whether its elevation, trees, buildings or fitness equipment, but the plays are rather simple. An 850 rated played should be able to birdie them all over ten rounds.
- CHARACTER - Other than nice baskets, the remaining basics are sub-par and the extras are non-existent. The tees were natural on my visit, also no course map or descriptive tee signs.
- UNIQUENESS - Unless a player finds throwing around fitness equipment as a novel idea, I don't see how someone who's played five courses will be left with their jaw hanging down to the floor. I threw a putter on seven holes and I don't throw that far. Hole (3) is a nicest shot IMO, requiring a placed tree gap split and then a long jump putt to make eagle. I liked hole (7) as well, were the basket is placed in a mini cove. Hole (9) is pleasant 20 foot down shot to finish off the course.
- PARKING - There is very little parking near tee (1). Maybe room for 3 or 4 cars on the grass. There's an alternate parking area about 350 feet away.
- SPACING - The 9 hole course occupies maybe 4 acres and has adjacency issues with roads, fences, buildings and the other holes.
- RAW BEAUTY - Manmade objects are in view the entire time. Several holes feel like open field shots. Not enough trees for my preference. I scored the course a 1.375 out of 5 for beauty.

Macon Middle School is already a good choice for younger and newer players in town, and it can be a laid back ace race round for skilled players. As noted in the previous review, there was a local plan to mark off a second set of back tees and this apparently occurred soon after my visit. Honestly, I don't see how that was possible on this small site without creating further adjacency issues. Only holes (4) and (5) I thought had room to extend further back without issue. Regardless, I went ahead and gave the course credit for the extra tees despite not seeing them. This is a young course and it still has additional growth potential. Since the course has a quirky fun-ness aspect to it, a conversion to concrete surfaces, proper signage and alt baskets, would make me entertain the idea of raising my score above the 1.75 threshold for a 2.0. I'll update my score if I find out enough updates have occurred.
