Lake Junaluska Golf Course

The greens had been aerated 10-14 days earlier and where no where near being grown back.. Very bumpy .Fairways were rock hard and spotty. I bet they were nice earlier in the summer when they were more lush.

This is a demanding layout for the average golfer. Accurate tee shots are required. You must be in good physical shape to play this course.

Course it self is fine, a lot of blind spots. The Green’s have been worked up and very rough to put. I believe a course should discount or inform players when this has been done.

Arrived early and the staff got us out right away. The greens have just been punched. Big punch too. The front played about average time. The back we caught up with a group of 5 and a group of 6. Came to a dead stop.

This would be a fun layout if they had better grooming. First time is a bit confusing where to hit you’re ball because of blind hills.

i have played this place a few times and it is a fun golf track! not super hard but super fun! it is on the easy side but i would drive an hour again to play here anytime!!!

The course isn’t worth the money and the layout is awful. Power piles in the middle of a fairway. Huge drop offs from the tee boxes, hard to tell where the greens are. It should cost $25 for a round.

Ever play a golf course where you are convinced someone has cut the maintenance budget? This is that course...the greens were all in good shape, but the rest of the course was missing fertilizer and weed killer. The gateways appeared to be mowed in half only....cutting the budget so that fare ways are mowed one half at a time. Whoever owns this course should divest themselves and sell to someone who will spend the money to care for it.

The clubhouse worker allowed my 3 threesome to go off about an hour early to beat the rain. That was a awesome way to get a great first impression. We knew going in the course would be a shorter layout but had no idea how fun it was to play. Greens were perfect bent grass but super slow from the 3 consecutive rainy night. If your expected a US Open type challenging course this isn’t for you. If your looking for a fun set up, with quick pace and good conditions. This is your place. Some of the navigation between hole was tricky and we even played the wrong hole once. Tees and greens are tight. We will be back soon.

Enough room to play. Lots of opportunities to get creative.

Course is in best shape it has ever been it. Have played the course for several years and it has never looked better.

Had a specific tee time. Arrived early and was on the tee box on time. Not sure if things were just way behind or if they were letting everyone walk in and play, but there were two groups waiting to tee off in front of me. Then there was a group who finished 18 and walked right up to the tee box and tees off again on 1 after telling the group in front of me “we just need to get this hole finished and we’ll be out of your way, so if you don’t mind going back to your cart..?” Everyone was shocked. Play was incredibly slow overall. Course was in great shape, but lots of blind shots being hit into valleys, creeks, cut through roads, over hills, etc. which I’m personally just not a fan of... half the greens are flat as a board, the other half were like putting on a mound or in a bowl... very odd pin placements. Overall as mentioned the course was in great shape but it’s not a course I’d recommend, even at a fairly low price.

The course was ok. Nothing special. Had a good time.

Nice layout. The course needs to be mowed. I lost 3 balls that I drove in the middle of the fairway. Compared to the last two courses I played(Maggie Valley and Cummings Cove) this was by far in the worse shape. Not worth the money I paid.

Pace of play was a little slow with 4+ groups not letting players play through greens look good fairways did 2 couple holes are side by side but a very fun course to play if your in the area definitely try it out

went very smooth despite corona virus stuff,,,,, good job

Lake Junaluska is a short, moderately easy course with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and the lake. Perfect for average to short hitters, generous fairways generally lead to smaller, tough-to-hit greens. The course is in great shape, and after aeration a few weeks ago, the greens putt smooth and true. With par at 68, there’s still a few par 5s to test your fairway woods. The course layout itself is beautiful, as most of it is natural landscape, with very few houses visible. If you happen to be in the area, don’t pass this gem up!
