I loved this course. Absolutely loved it. Baskets were great. Signs were amazing. Everything was great. No complaints.
Cons:
Nothing except maybe the tall grass.
Other Thoughts:
Really enjoyed this course. Huge hyzer and anhyzer bombs. Nice tight shots. Plenty of dog legs. Great course for advance players.

Pros:
Camp Jordan is the Chattanooga areas newest course and this is one that is not to be skipped. Located less than a half mile off I-75, this course will not disappoint. This course has a huge parking lot that can accommodate larger vehicles such as motorhomes.
Course navigation is quite easy now thanks to the "Next Tee" arrows that are located on each of the baskets. The first 9 holes create a loop as well as the last 10 to allow you to start on either the front or back.
Concrete tee pads have been poured on each hole and are of generous size. There are a few longer pads on the longer holes that are much appreciated. Brand new Chainstar baskets are on each hole and a few are elevated (3, 15 & 18). Tee signs are being made and should be up soon. Trash cans are on every few holes. I think I saw 4 or 5 of them and none were overflowing. Many people do course maintenance here and this course is quite clean.
Each hole has it's own unique challenges and no two are exactly alike. This course is long and requires accuracy and distance to score well. Definitely not for the newbie but if you can throw 300' you will enjoy yourself. I would say the majority of this course is open but thanks to well placed pins and tees, obstacles (trees, creeks, mounds of dirt) come into play and only 3 holes are completely open. The wooded holes are a bit intimidating but fairways are wide enough to not be overly frustrating and brush has been cleared out when needed.
A variety of shots are needed to do well on this course. There are dogleg rights and left and one that even has both (Hole 14). A few straight holes are a good relief but require the distance. Tunnel shots, water behind baskets, drop-offs behind baskets, shooting over a large ditch and an island green all test your nerves and concentration.

Cons:
It's hard to find anything wrong with this course. The only thing missing right now is tee signs and benches. *UPDATE: Tee Signs are now in place* A few more trash cans could be placed and bag hooks at the tees would be nice as well.
A few of the holes are a bit swampy when it rains or a few days after rain.

Other Thoughts:
*Update Jan6 - All holes now in to make a full 18 holes*
This course was designed to be a championship level course and they succeeded in all ways. It is hard to rate this course a 5 because there are a few things that could make this spectacular. Don't get me wrong, I throughly enjoyed this course, I could not have done a better job and I'm sure the "cons" will be addressed.

Pros:
-brand new course, no concrete yet but still had the feel of a top calibur course.
-All variety of shots
-The first few holes allow you to warm up before it shows its teeth (hole 6) ouch. Loved every hole and how each one had a curtain uniqueness to it. hole 6, and the whole back 9 rocked my balls...tip for the newbies that never played this course...bring your big boy pants.
-you get everything here...woods, open air, water, big rough, long drives, tech shots, elevated tees, and list goes on.
