Lake Junaluska Golf Course

Lake Junaluska GC has made improvements to some areas on the course and these improvements are making the golfing experience more enjoyable. They now have cart paths covering the entire course, and they are adding some new tee box areas to add interest to the layout and give them flexibility to rotate tee box positions while re-seeding another area. It's still a relatively short overall length, and still has some "quirky" holes where local knowledge can really help. First time players should plan to play with someone who knows the course layout to help with the "hidden shots' that are needed to give you a chance at a good score. A fun course for a quick round, and it will test your iron accuracy as several greens are pretty small targets. I'll be back!

Great place, great staff, and a cool layout. Unique back 9

The fairways are wide and very forgiving. Not a lot of out of bounds areas and the traps are fairly placed. The real challenge comes from the island par 3’s that require a soft but accurate shot.

Overall this is my favorite course in the area!

Nice but SHORT course - but still challenging ! Got to "conquer" hole #14 !

Weather turned for the worse, lost my money. I will book direct from now on

Very well taken care of course. Friendly staff, challenging but fun.

My wife and I arrived early and got right on the course. Unfortunately, we were behind a tournament so it took over 3 hours to get to the 12th hole. We waited at every hole and finally left early. I thought there would be good views of the lake, but all the views we saw were across a busy highway. The course had some blind tee shots (OK) that went across access roads. This seemed like a bad idea to me. Staff was very friendly. I borrowed a driver after mine broke.

It was our first time playing this course.

Interesting layout with some nice lake and mountain views.

Play was slow as they allow walkers. Greens were slow but in great shape.

The course was in great condition, but the pace of play was horrible. Too many people booked too close together.

We only had time to play 9 holes, but really enjoyed the experience. The course was in great shape and the staff was very friendly. We are looking forward to playing all 18 next time.

Pace of play was really bad. I waited up to 10 min on every tee shot. No course etiquette from other groups there. Tee boxes were in rough shape. Fairways were alright. Greens were soft.

Confusing layout, and dangerous. I almost got hit twice waiting to tee off on hole 2. Directly behind the tee box is hole 8’s green (dogleg right). Balls were flying everywhere.

If you play here, just pay for 9. You won’t be able to get through 18 on the weekend in under 5 hr. Also, no alcohol sold or allowed at the course.
