The course needs a motto!

The staff can't be beat, even though I tried. Maybe next time I- will try to bribe them. Anyway, the course is situated on the beautiful and majestic Frankford creek which comes into play whether you like it or not.' If you are an occasional golfer or breaking in a novice do yourself a favor and leave the pro vi at home...If a Titleist is going to carry a hazard so will a Nitro. Which brings me to a suggested motto for the course "It takes a lot of balls (golf) to play Juniata! Go and enjoy one fun golf course. Just remember you're not playing Melrose!. ...............Ever.

City: Municipal Course

Took my son# who is learning golf, here for about $40/player with cart included. Solid value. However you get what you pay for. Cart barely made it up hills. Course is tight. Narrow fairways. Brought wasn't mowed and the greens were in rough shape in June. In August these must be burned out. Look. Have the right expectations. We had a good time. Got to swing the club casually for 18 holes for "cheap". But if you are used to well maintained courses... This is far from that.

Tough course to play

First of all, the staff was very welcoming and friendly. My problem was the course. It was not easy to follow because of the layout. The signs were confusing. We were criss-crossing from one hole to another. The grass was so high it was hard to find the ball. Most of the tee boxes were hard as cement, not easy to put a tee in the ground. For a hundred year old course I would think that's its not going to go away so more money should be invested in it. We didn't have much fun.

Confusing

Great, cheap round of golf - 18 holes for next to nothing through GN, plus the course gives you a hotdog and drink for booking 18, but the course is rough and the layout is super confusing, repetitive, and could use a bunch of TOC

What happened to my local course?

I played on Thrsday, I was discouraged on how the course has been managed since the death of Bob Wheeler. Bob had the course in great shape and now it is filled with crab grass and trash and weeds everywhere. The price is very good but the condition of the course was a big dissapointment. No water in either the ball washers or to drink. Giant holes between the 4th and 5th holes. Tees were overgrown and not cut or marked very well. I used to love playing this course but if it stays like this I just can't play like this.

A solid cheap option for a round of golf

This was my first time to Juniata. The course was honestly in better condition than I expected for early March and recent rain/snow melting, as well as for the price (~$35 for the round). A good variety of holes, especially for a beginner golfer such as myself. There’s a putting green, but no driving range. Staff members were friendly. A pro/con with the course is that they allow walk-ons, and tee times are on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you want to show up and play, this works great. But if you reserve in advance online, don’t expect them to honor your tee time. Depending on how busy it is, you might have to wait for a bit to start. Pace of play was pretty slow, took about 4.5 hours for the round. I think because of the price and this being one of the few courses open this early in the year, there were a lot of people in general and also a lot of beginners who don’t really understand how to keep a good pace. Overall though, if you’re looking for a cheap round of golf and you have the time to wait/play a slow round, this is worth it. I still had a great time.

Great Value-nice course

Found a deal on the app and booked a round to get some swings in for the week. Linked up with a great group of guys while there. They were knowledgeable on the course and had some great insight. Greens have been aerated recently so putting was difficult. The course has a nice layout and some cool holes. Challenging for me as a newbie but others say it's a nice easy course to play. Employees were great and accommodating. Lots of geese on the course throughout. I Would recomend for other to support and play this course.
