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.

Fast Super Fast Lakeview

This course is by no means super long but don’t count your eggs too fast. You can arrive early and still walk off shaking your head some of the fastest greens in the area. If you’re having putter problems not the greens to try and work it out. Will definitely be back.

Always Fantastic

Had not played the Lakeview in years. but did not remember it being slightly on the hard side.

It has been 37 years since I have played the Lakeview.

But enjoyed every minute of it.

good course

The greens were very fast and we both didn't putt very well trying to get used to them. It was hard to get the ball to stop. Overall the course was in very good shape especially for winter time.

CALLAWAY GDN - LAKEVIEW COURSE

This is a short par 70 course and the layout is average except for the memorable par 3 hole 10 which you get to drive across the lake using an old s-bridge and see the old club house. The fairway condition and the sand bunkers in the 1st 9 were not in good condition.

Always enjoyed this course with a nice lay out and beautiful. However the last couple times here, and especially today, the greens are in very poor condition.

Course conditions

Had played this course yrs ago and it was immaculate. Course now in terrible shape. Fairways in terrible condition, very little grass. Greens fair. Appearance around clubhouse and course really bad. Was just shocked. They did have a bad storm few weeks ago but most of this had nothing to do with that. Course has just been let go. Not kept up well at all

No water coolers, no drink cart service.

This was my third year playing the Lake View. A fun course that presents less of a challenge than the Mountain View, but still has some fun and challenging holes. The are had received a ton of rain before we arrived, so the course was cart path only. The fairways and tee boxes were wet, but not so much that it affected play. Greens were firm and rolled true. My one big complain is that there were ZERO water coolers on the course, and we never saw a drink cart. $60+ dollars was a little steep to not offer any water at all on the course.

Average at best

I just wasn’t very impressed with this course. Granted, they had a lot of rain recently and it was cart path only, but I just didn’t feel like the course was in great shape. Greens were really slow. And the layout was nothing special. It probably didn’t help my experience that we were out there as a twosome and got placed behind a fivesome (that made us wait until the 7th hole to play through) then another foursome with two young children that didn’t let us play through, so we ended up skipping a hole and going around. Pretty sure those were the only 3 groups on the course, too.

Overall, it was just OK. I probably won’t be back. It’s probably not usually as bad as it was for me today, though.
