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
fourth of July weekend
Played in 4 hrs on a holiday weekend! Which is great the layout is a good challenge with quality shots being rewarded and punished for being off line. Definitely I step down from the mountain view course so perfect for a mid to high handicaper.
Terrible Callaway Garden's golf experience
Lost 2 balls in fairway as fairways are unkept. Greens were recently punched but I was not informed of that when making a tee time. Very limited selection at concession and had to eat outside in the heat, all the while next to the big window lookng into the air conditioned dining room, filled with tables and chair's.
Excellent course
Beautiful surroundings and the BEST our US Flag waving high with pride directly at beginning of the one fairway. Great lay-out and good challenge with mist greens elevated. Very friendly staff Enjoyed playing here
Lake view
Overall a fun day out on the course for my family. We played Mountain View on Friday and Lakebiew on Monday. It is obvious they put more time and effort on Mountain View based on course conditions.
Lake view fairways needed to be mowed and the rough was definitely rough. Both courses had sanded greens which was disappointing.
It had been a long time since I played the course and it appears the overall course has taken a hit during the pandemic.
I’d play again
Was at Callaway for my 40th birthday and my wife booked a tee time here since the Mountain View course had an event going on. The layout of this course is very forgiving and perfect for any skill level. A few of the tee boxes could use some love, but aside from that, the course is in good shape. Staff was friendly. They’ll explain whatever you need to know if you’re a first timer.
I’d recommend this course to anyone looking for a golf getaway and fun times at Callaway.
Tight Pins
Play here several times a year almost weekly. This is the first time that most of the flags were cut very close to edge of green which increased challenge of the course. I always enjoy playing Lakeview
Enjoyable Course
Played Lake View on a buddies trip with 7 friends. We enjoyed 2 rounds on the course. The greens were excellent. Fairways were very firm and tight because the grass was just beginning to grow.
The bunkers were not in great condition but playable. We purchased a golf package that included 2 nights in a 4 bedroom villa. We all enjoyed the trip.
Course in poor shape.
Fairways in poor shape. Hardly any grass. Weeds everywhere. Tee boxes in worse shape. Poa has taken over some areas. Greens soft and holding. Good sand traps. Had to play winter rules. Did not see any maintenance workers. The course needs lots of work.. Disappointing overall.
