Nice mountain course

Greens and course were in good shape. Greens were not fast and not too slow. This is such a scenic course. Very friendly pro shop. Course has blind shots. I recommend playing it more than once so you know where to land your shots.

Golf Now

Had no problems whatsoever with the course. Small but fun. My problem was with Golf Now. I booked and pre-paid for a 9:40 tee time. I arrive and find out that Golf Now booked me for a time that was unavailable and my new tee time was 10:40. Fortunately the pro shop worked with me and I had a great time. I no longer trust Golf Now.

The course was a great layout and pace was fine as we played in 3 hours and 40 minutes. My only complaint is that the greens are incredibly SLOW which I don’t like at all. The staff was super friendly

Incompetent Staff

I played there on Monday. Called back on Tuesday and got a 1:30 tee time for Saturday for nine holes. When I arrived at the course on Saturday at 1:15, I was told that I didn't have a tee time. He offered to put me with a twosome at 2:00. I couldn't do two o'clock due to a prior commitment at 4:30. Not sure what kind of incompetent staff members work there but it was pretty frustrating to show up and get told I didn't have a tee time.

Hidden gem

This course was surprisingly fantastic. They don't sell alcohol but that might be the only downside. Greens were in fantastic shape. Hands down the most comfortable golf cart I've ever ridden in!

Beautiful course, pushy marshal

Place is gorgeous. Well-maintained and scenic. The problem was that it was a busy day, and the marshal moved our time up at the very last second. We figured getting their early would give us enough time to get some practice in on the putting green. This resulted in a stressful first hole, as the Marshal wanted us to start as soon as we pulled up to the putting green. Great course overall though, and the Marshal lightened up as the day went on.

Great value

Overall course was in great shape, there are just a few holes that have been patched together and are just not fun to play. Other than that course was nice and in good shape

Course layout

This course is senior friendly and small greens. The layouts are worst in my 43 years of golfing. The condition is fair.

Great day!

I played Lake Junaluska course on a beautiful sunny day and throughly enjoyed my round and the course. The setting in the mountains gives you beautiful views as you enjoy the golf. I would definitely recommend this course to others.

5 hour round

Why can't golfer understand pace of play. Is it really that hard to understand? If you don't have a single digit handicap then DON'T hit off the pro tips. Why do some of you feel the need to wait for the group ahead to clear the green before you tee off. When you can't hit the ball over 250 yards.alot of you need to stop dreaming your not a pro. Play your skill set.
