Pros:
If you like courses that have wide open holes and wooded ones as well, this meets those expectations. Hole one starts out with a narrow path through the trees into a wide open field, where the next 3 holes are also located. The only possible obstacles might be other park visitors walking around. There are wooden boardwalks to help navigate over possible wet conditions. Concrete tee pads are also in great condition. The course is also free to play, which is always nice. This course doesn't have a pro-shop, but less than a mile from the park entrance is a fireworks store which has a pretty decent selection of disc and other DG Gear. (Dixieland Fireworks)
Cons:
Navigating this course for the first time is very difficult. There is a sign at hole 1 with a map of the course, which I took a picture of with my phone, but even with that - I had to guess where the next hole started. I'm sure this is only temporary, but a large tree fell across the fairway on hole #5 (now removed). There is also some VERY thick brush along this course, which makes it very easy to loose a disc.
Update As Of 12/31/16. After I played this course the first time, I didn't think I'd be back. After I heard the rest of the 18 holes were back, I decided to check it out. What a regret! This course is in horrible condition. Wide open fields are so wet and muddy you'll need an extra pair of shoes to change into before you get in your car to drive home. I'm okay with the occasional mando here and there, but nearly every hole on this course has one! The signage at the tee pads are awful - and some don't even have any! The pin location at 17 is completely invisible from the tee pad. We decided to throw in the direction we thought the cage was and then found it set up in a drainage ditch on the other side of a service road with heavy standing water in it!
Other Thoughts:
This could be a much nicer course if more thought was put into the way it flows. Putting arrows on the baskets that point to the next hole or creating pathways that lead to them would really take out the need for second guessing. Being that Camp Jordan is such a big facility, finding the course for the first time was very difficult. I was there on a Thursday afternoon around 4:30pm and the main facility building wasn't even open. There were also no phone numbers listed to call. I saw no signage of where the course started and had to ask another park member for help. I'll eventually go back and try this course again, but in my opinion - there are nicer courses that aren't too far away. I don't understand why the course rating on here is so high.
I've talked to people in the past who have said Camp Jordan was one of their favorite courses to play. The property the course is on has a lot of potential - but the way it's designed now is a joke. The only way I'll play here again is if drastic improvements are made.
