There is a lot going on with Hagg Lake and hopefully I can explain most of it for you in detail, we'll start with the good, which is not much and work our way to the bad and the ugly later. This place has so much natural beauty, especially with the lake right next to you while you play.

Some of the holes that stood out were holes 3, 9 and 18. Hole three being a blind basket location, behind a clump of bushes with the lake on your right and the tree line on your left. Hole nine was a tightly wooded turnout shot for a right handed backhander. Hole 18 is a very long, uphill tunnel shot with trouble off the fairway on both sides.

There is a lot of elevation change here, different variations of obstacle amounts and variety of hole distances. This is a very challenging course and this piece of land has the potential to get to four stars if it was used correctly.

Navigation is atrocious even with the map of the course that they give out at the ranger station where you pay. There are a lot of walkouts and no signage, even with the map it's hard to tell exactly where you are and where you are supposed to be.

Most of the holes here are open, long and boring and in the end won't create much scoring separation unless you can throw 450 feet or more so half the course you will be getting a three no matter what you do because there are no obstacles. I thought that the wooded section of this course was going to save it but when I came across holes like number 12 that thought process was abandoned. Hole 12 is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen; so much trees and brush that there was no line to the basket, a real poke and prey.

There is a spot where three tee pads converge as one and there is too much space out here to do something like that. I feel that taking out most of the boring open holes and putting in more wooded holes will make this place more playable. While on one of the walkouts to the back woods holes there was room for three or four more wooded holes and it just blows my mind that such great areas were not used more.

The tee pads are all natural/dirt pads and have been used very much and they aren't in the best of shape; some concrete here would go a long way.

I think this place has a ton of potential but most of the potential is not being used or not being used correctly. I think with a small redesign an some better tee pads this could be a really good course.
