Lake Junaluska Golf Course

This is for the players
Do you know what the term pace of play means? For most of you that don't that means when 8 other people are on the same hole waiting for your group to get done either speed up or let others through. Just because you're cheap and feel you need to spend 20 minutes looking for a 1.00 ball while others wait is inconsiderate to others players. Oh and another thing golfer need to tee of on the tees that fit your game. Stop teeing off the tips when you can't hit a drive 200 yards. Most of you need to stop dreaming and play the tees that fit your game.

I played lake junaluska at the last minute to escape my in laws for a few hours and boy was I impressed. The shop attendant was very helpful and knowledgeable, giving me the ins and outs of some of the more difficult holes on the course. The course was in great shape despite having inclement weather the previous few days, they were even concerned the final few holes wouldn't be open, but there top notch grounds crew got them up to snuff by the time I made it there. The course was busy for how cold it was, but pace of play was steady. This course has some of the more challenging holes I've ever played, but it was not so challenging as to draw ire or frustration. I actually broke 90 for my first time ever, with an 88 on a par 68, so it doesn't really count but I'll take it. I Would recommend anyone in Waynesville or the surrounding area put this course on your bucket list.

I know it was an early spring day, but tee times are too close for this course layout. Waited for the group in front of us on every hole, some holes waited for multiple groups. Otherwise, good day on an average public course.

Nice course layout, friendly staff, hats off to the greenskeepers that keep the course in fantastic condition.

Played today course is looking great the fairways are coming in nice a green. The rough isn't to bad so stay in the fairways. Now watch out on the greens they will make you scream trying to get the right pace

I love to play this course it will get you if you don't watch out. The negatives. The little restaurant is closed opens soon. Pace of play both course and players need to work on this issues. Be respectful and let others through. Let's get a Marshall out there moving pace of play to the avg 18 holes of golf should be played in.

Tee time was at 11:30. My wife came to ride with me, we had the whole place to ourselves. Played all 18 in just over 3 hours, Friendly staff always greets you at the door.

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!

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.
