Beautiful but slow

Great course. Pace of play is an issue. This is where everyone comes to play. From beginners to scratch golfer. Course can get crowded and slow and some of the holes run along side of each other causing other golfers not confirming their ball and hitting yours. That's my only gripe.

Small Greens, short course, lots of fun

I've played Lake J multiple times. It's a short (5800+ from tips), tight course with small greens. Played 18 solo in just over 2 hours. If you are playing for the first time, 14 and 16 are blind tee shots, make sure to check players in front of you before teeing off. As mentioned, it is tight and possible to have balls from multiple fairways in your fairway. Greens are small, but roll true. The small greens act as a defense to the length. Couldn't get GPS on cart to work, gotta love computers, but the club house took care of me after the round.

Great Course for the price

Lake Junaluska has a solid golf course. Great for beginners/Casual golfers and excellent for its price. It runs a bit short for pars, so experienced players may seek elsewhere for a solid challenge

Beautiful Views of Lake Junaluska

The area received heavy rains for the two previous days so we were surprised the course was even open. We were greeted with a friendly staffer at check-in. He explained that it was cart path only, but that was expected. The cart paths are dirt/gravel so they weee a bit muddy and bumpy. Considering the two previous days of rain, the course was in good condition. The greens were soft and held shots with any loft, but otherwise in good condition. There are a couple blind shot holes that previous play or course knowledge really helps. The back 9 is short (Par 33), but still fun to play. We always make this a “go to” course when we are in the area.

Bank none layout

We love this course. The people there are fantastic and the staff are always fun and have a great attitude. The back nine has an odd layout but again we’re big fans of the lake!

Frustrated

20.00 for my wife to ride in the cart with me. I felt that this was too much considering that I was going to have the cart weather she went or not.
