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.

A good course that is worth the drive from Atlanta
I played this course because it is on the Golf Advisor's Best of GA list. It is a moderate challenge with great views of the gardens and lake. A few holes run along the lake and one goes over it!! The fairways are pretty wide but some holes were dog legged and you need to be in the proper place off the tee to score well. I played in March and the Bermuda grass had not greened up yet but the greens were in great shape. It is a fun course to play without too many bunkers. The grill was closed due to COVID but there is a snack shop after the 10th hole. If you stay in the gardens then there will be some good off course food options as I had two weeks prior. The course is only a 1 1/2 hour drive from Atlanta and worth the trip.
Needs Course Marshals
The Good - due to wet weather prior to the round they closed the lakeview course and let me play the round on the mountain view course at the same price.. Staff at the desk, starter, cart attendant, etc., were all very friendly and courteous.
The not so good - the course was still rebounding from winter, so it was not in pristine condition (i.e., not quite what I'd call up to 'resort course" standards. Since this was in Callaway Gardens - known for the spring floral displays - I'd have expected more flowering bushes on the course, as well.
The Bad - at least one group ahead of us "merged" to form a group of 6 or more. as a result our group of 3 was waiting on every tee and in the fairway on our second shots, as well. They needed a course marshal to break that group back up or force them to play faster.
Fun interesting course, course was in pretty good condition considering the winter weather it endured
Just a slow group in front of us all day. We found the course interesting and would play again
Overview
Golf course was good but just ground was too much wet. so I do not recommend after raining or wet weather.
Lake course
Don’t play this course if has rained. It holds water terribly bad. Make sure it hasn’t rained for at least 3 days. The course is beautiful but its a soggy mess if it’s rained.
Lakeview Golf course Callaway Garden
I really joyed playing Lakeview Golf Course. This course will challenge every aspects of your game.. I looks forward to playing it again.
Lake course
If you’re looking for a challenging course this is it. Have to get out of the metro nice ride to get there. The only let down is drainage is a problem needs work.
Course was very wet from heavy rain a few days earlier!
