Lake View at Callaway Gardens Resort
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.

Golfer Reviews
Great course
Despite some greens with weed and/or dirt surfaces and despite some fairways with high grass to cover up the balls, this course is picturesque and truly enjoyable. Had some interaction with other players and they were all nice players.
Horrible
Sedge and goose grass on the greens so prolific that you could not putt with out it throwing the ball way off line. Most greens had dead spots or irrigation blow outs on them. Practice green was same way and looked like it had not been mowed it a week. Debris and thick grass clippings all over fairway and in rough. Tee boxes are just as bad. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.
Work In Progress
First time playing Lakeview Course in 2026. Fairways were good. 17 out of 18 greens were good. Even though the rough between fairways and cart paths were not as deep as other times, they were deep enough to cause 2 lost drives inside of cart paths. Very frustrating to not find those two drives in play.
Great Golf course
The staff is outstanding. Unloading clubs personnel very courteous.
Pro shop attendant, Dawn, very polite and courteous.
Course fairways very well maintained. A few greens need attention, but are being improved on.
Can't wait to get back.
Course that offers relaxation
Had the most relaxing round. It is always a pleasant experience to play here. Some greens had weeds. My wife and I always have a great round at this course.
Calloway gardens has let herself go....
I live about 40 min from Calloway.. I play there st least 5 or 6 times a year.. both mountain and lake course.... just recently played the lake course, and dude...... it has looked so much better.. especially the greens... I'd say at least 10 out of the 18 greens were covered in weeds, dried out, or overly soaked with water.. none of the greens rolled the same and was not at all worth the $55 we paid to play that day.... not saying that the course was bad.. but dangit man, the place has fallen apart... 👎
Lakeview at Callaway Gardens, Georgia
Lakeview is an extremely difficult and technical course. Fairways and greens had severe undulation. There were 90° dog legs. Most of the greens were protected by at least three bunkers. Even good shots were penalized as huge trees leaned out over the fairway on both sides.
It’s a good course to get away and play with some friends, but don’t try to keep or shoot a good score
Cabrera Party
Green need some work there was patches missing all over. Grill opens at 11am could open earlier. Otherwise everything was good.
Callaway thru Golf Now
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.
