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.

Great course

Course is in great condition they have worked hard on it. Wish they would pave and repave all the cart paths and it would be 5 stars all around and I probably would buy a membership.
