Lake Junaluska

Greens are in great shape, very fast though. Some flood damage on hole 12, but working quickly to get it repaired.

Great course, some tricky shots with elevation changes.

Could use some maintenance on cart paths due to roots breaking up the pavement.

Will play here often.

Fun short course

The course is short with some unique holes. It’s reasonably priced and not overly difficult.

First time playing Lake Junaluska

Great course, with some tricky holes! Course was in good condition. Greens were hard to figure out, but had recently been punched. Lots of up and downhill fareways, but had to drive across a road several times.

Lake Junaluska GC

Great weather, joined a threesome of regulars and had an enjoyable time. Freshly aerated and sanded greens made putting the low point of the day. Necessary but aggravating. Worth the green fee by a lot.

Club house guy is unreasonable

The 1 star is because of the guy running the club house on 9/1/24. I’ve been golfing here for 2 years. Everyone else that works here are great people and never have had a problem with, besides the guy running it today. Also the ground keepers do a fantastic job. I’ve tried to look pass his sarcastic comments and personality for 2 years now.

Played 9 holes today the sky fell out and continued to pour the rain for the rest of the evening. Asked at 3:30 for rain check for the back 9. He refused. So continued to try and play, put us on a 30min delay then another, didn’t specify the length of time. By the time it was about to end it started raining again before second delay was finished. I decided to give it up because the rain has set in. Went back and asked if he still won’t give out a rain check for 9. At 4:20 He refused and sarcastically made the comment “that I’m not God”. Obviously buddy, weather is not the issue, the issue is that he knew good and well no golfing was going to happen and he wanted to keep the money. This is supposed to be a Christain based course, yet this man is nothing but sarcastic, and greedy. Also not the only golfer that felt this way, many turned away unhappy with the decision.

Nice course

Nice course, greens were in great shape. Only complaint is on the back nine there are a few holes that are blind shots and drop off dramatically, so if you don't have anybody that can watch for your shot and you are off even a little, good luck finding your ball

I will definitely be back to play again.

The staff is very friendly also.

Ok course

Ourselves could do with some better directions to tee boxes due to some long trips from one hole to another. Greens were very good. Putting saved my game. Some holes are blind and dangerous when people are hitting up on you. Enjoyed our day out all things considered.

Good Value, but Quirky

The course was in very good shape, but for slow greens... the problem I had is the 2-3 holes that were weird... electric transmission lines... seems forced to fit in 18 holes, and still only a par 68 course. Good value and the groundskeeper does a very good job keeping the fairways and rough in good shape. I only wished the greens were faster.
