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.

They need to even out the greens and clean up cut grass off the fairway. Putting was way too slow due to length of grass and uneven grass on the greens

Not worth the trip

This was once a signature golf getaway that has slowly declined over recent years but has now really hit the bottom. It’s really sad to see what has been allowed to happen to these two courses. The Lake course was the only on open and it was overgrown. The fairways were like looking for a ball hidden in the rough. Mounds upon mounds of grass clippings. The rough, forget about if hit into, have to step on the ball to find it and the greens were like what it’d be putting on a normal fairway. A 3 wood would’ve putted better on than a putter.

Keeps Getting Worse

The course over the last two years has just continued to degrade into unplayable conditions. Greens are like shag carpets, full of weeds, the fairways and tee boxes aren’t much better. They are in the balance where they can no longer charge resort prices because of the condition of the course and as they are lowering the fees, you are now getting a group of folks at the course who hurt the pace of play and definitely aren’t going to help with the condition issues. Bunkers were all completely ungrounded and to top it off, this level of care has carried over to the staff. As I pulled up, two kids on welcoming guests and getting carts didn’t even budge. Course Marshall completely lacked interpersonal skills. The management of this course should be fired, both in the club house and and for the course conditions

Better than before

A few years ago this place was in shambles, but it has improved significantly. Definitely obvious repair work being done around most greens, but didn't disrupt me at all. A bit pricy for what you get, but a fun course with an amazing layout.

Very Poor Conditions

The linings in the bunkers are all exposed and the bunkers have not been raked in months. The greens have dead spots, diseased spots and patches of sod that are dead because it wasn't cared for after it was installed. The tee decks are overused and have not been maintained or cared for in months. However, the fairways did have grass.

Great Time

I've played Callaway Gardens Lakeview course twice. I have had a blast both times. It is a very scenic course and it was a pleasure to play there and my company was awesome.

Lakeview

Enjoying the challenging layout of this course design. It was a little short playing at 6000 yards but you can get back a little bit more on the tease and get it to about 6300 all in all it it was in pretty good shape. And I enjoyed the pace of play, which always makes a round better.

Lakeview Callaway Gardens

You would expect more from a resort course. The greens were not in great shape and the fairways were really hard. I would expect the fairways to be hard since no rain in the area in awhile but the greens are a different story.

What course are yall reviewing??? Or were you paid ??

I cannot fathom any golfer giving this more than a single start review unless they typically play in a cow pasture! Has to be employees of Callaway or they are giving discounts for reviews something is up , it is atrocious.. greens are dead other than the poanna , don’t bother reading a putt as your ball will absolutely not stay on any line it will jump left and right all over the place off the poanna .. the fairways are hard as a rock and the bunkers are unkept and are about like hitting off the cart path with areas of the liners showing through .. had I paid full price for this course I would have pressed charges as it would have been criminal..lol certainly will not be back to this pitiful course.. such a shame as it has so much potential, but literally needs a six figure investment into it at this point..
