Lake View at Callaway Gardens Resort
Rating Snapshot
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.

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!
DOESN'T GET MUCH BETTER!
The staff, the course and the location is really great for anyone within 1.5 hours of Callaway Gardens. The best courses in the area, with tees time usually readily available at reasonable prices for the quality of the courses. Both courses generally have are generally overall are in very good condition, but the Lakeview Course fairways can be a little "thin" and because it seems somewhat more "level" and a bit more "shady" in some areas, so it can play a bit more soft/muddy for several days after rainy conditions, so be aware of that possibility and if it's windy, "put on your "big boy/girl pants" and get ready for more challenges. It's worth the trip for our group every time!!
Resort-style golfing
It‘s always fun to play golf at Callaway Gardens. Walkers, bikers and boaters are all over the place on a busy weekend. A dad with his young children tried to use one of the bunkers as playground. Besides that golfing was fun. Great layout around Lake Wren, signature island hole on #10. Fairways and greens have been well maintained, tee-boxes need some upgrade. I‘ll come back for sure when in the area.
Lovely course
I felt the course conditions were better than expected. The greens were excellent. The fairways were in great conditions. The tee boxes were in good condition. The rough eats your balls up so pay close attention where your ball lands. I would definitely play here again.
Beautiful course. Lake view course more forgiving than Mountain View. Staff very accommodating/our tee time was 10:30 and let us tee off early. Fairways are well maintained. Hard to find your ball if it rolls to the first cut/fairways are wide though... Well definitely be back!
Stay in fairway
We all know it’s important to keep our hits in the fairway but just off the fairway The first cut can allow you to lose your ball in plain open sight the grass just sucks the ball into the ground. There’s nothing I hate worse than having a ball that is in place and just off the fairway and you can’t find your ball. Other than that an absolutely great day greens were in great condition and really enjoyed my time at the course
Beautiful Course
First time playing the Lakeview Course! Very beautiful course, but you must keep it in the fairway! Will definitely be playing again!
Need Course Rangers
Too many slow players created a long day. At least the course was in great shape.
