About
Nestled in the southernmost foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Callaway Gardens was created in 1952 to preserve the local environment, from the native wetlands to the abundant forests of mature trees. Golf at Callaway Gardens is a unique experience in that you'll be completely submerged in nature and surrounded by wildlife. The resort’s two golf courses, Lake View and Mountain View, are challenging enough for avid golfers but they are scenic and playable enough to appeal to players of all skill levels. The Lake View Course is the original layout. It offers a slightly more player-friendly round with wider fairways and generous greens. There are more water holes on this golf course, nine total, including five holes that are routed along Mountain Creek Lake. The signature par-3 10th hole features an intimidating island green.

Electric X-mas Tree on hole 15 Photo submitted by GolfUMK on 11/09/2020
Dry and warm
Drought condition had course playing unusually rough. Greens most effected, sakndy with little grass on several. Always a challenging test for an average golfer.
Nice layout, horrible condition conditions
Course conditions are extremely poor bear spots on the fairways. The greens are basically sand with little patches of grass. However, the sand of the bunkers was perfect. Only paid $26 on a hot deal so that was good.
Great course, but not at its best
The course is picturesque and we always enjoy playing here. The greens at present are full of weeds and the fairways were quite muddy and grass was brown. They aerated a few weeks ago. Something must have gone wrong. I am sure they will take care of it and bring the course back to the way it always has been.
POA
A lot of POa on the greens. Fairways , tees, and fairways were all cut extremely short. Green fee and cart wert a lot less because of greens not being good. In another month maybe fertilizer will take affect and it will be better
Great course
The greens are showing that the club is in the process of improving them. Everything else is in wonderful condition. My wife and I always enjoy playing here.
Aerated day before
GolfPass please indicate when a course has aereated the greens within the last 3 weeks.
Nice Daily Fee Course in need of a little TLC
Greens were inconsistent with a large number of invasive weeds throughout. Several teeing areas are grass thin due to being in close proximity to large shade producing trees.
Overall, a nice layout for the $$, with lots of potential. A little TLC on the greens and tee areas would go a long way in improving the golfer's experience.
Would play here again.
Im looking forward to playing callaway gardens again when the course conditions improve after winter. Course was soggy the day of, but I was unaware of heavy rains the day before. Excellent layout on the course, cart girl drove around 3 times during our round. Tighter fairways so cart path only was tolerable. Good course, 3.75 out of 5 for me
Fun
Great fun layout. Conditions were good overall especially considering the time of year. Greens are a bit slow but in good shape.
Great layout
The greens could be in better shape on both courses. But overall the conditions are great! The staff and service is top notch! Great employees who care!
Lakeview at Callaway Gardens
The course is always good. Had to search some for my golf balls because of leaves. They usually keep the leaves blown off the fairways and rough. Wasn't a big issue, just a little time consuming playing by yourself
Pleased to See Improvements
This was a wonderful course to play several years ago, then course conditions declined over the past few years.
I’m pleased to see the course back in very good condition.
Callaway Gardens Lake
Course conditions significantly better since the greens have been worked on.
Fun course.You have to fly the ball on to the greens bunkers guard the approach.
