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.

Great Golf
You'll find a very friendly staff to assist you with your clubs and in the clubhouse.
The course is in great condition for good scoring opportunities
Don't miss your chance to go low at the Gardens
LAKEVIEW @ CALLAWAY GARDENS
The course was in pretty good shape. I got through 10 holes before the storm hit. I was an individual playing and had two groups of 4 ahead of me that would not let me play through. The would finish up and wait for the other group to finish before tee in off on the next hole. I gave play this course numerous times good course to play
Could be better
I Remember playing the Callaway courses in the early 2000's and thought it couldn't get any better. Well dont show up thinking they're in the same shape because theyre not. For whatever reason......probably money.
The Lakeview course is fun, fairlly easy and is in decent shape. On the positive side the fairways and rough were in pretty decent shape. There are some weed issues though. On the negative side the greens are decent/fair at best. They were mowed but there is a poana/weed problem on a majority of them. For whatever reason the tee boxes weren't mowed. This led to high grass so your teed up ball barely hovers above the grass line. Some of the bunkers need more sand and for someone to get in them and kill the numerous weeds that are sprouting up in them.
I really enjoyed my round and i will be back.....just know that it could be better.
Has potential but needs a LOT of work
For the money this course was just not cutting it. Grass on the tee boxes was super long, the difference between fairway and rough was minimal, and the greens were in bad shape. There are some cool holes and scenery on the lakeside is nice but in order for this course to get better they will need to seriously invest in course management. Do not see myself playing here again until changes are made.
mountain view
mountain view course was played because the lakeview course had a small tournament.
tees were ok
fairways and rough were perfect.
most greens had some bad spots so we had to move the putt to a better location on the green.
most greens were in execellent shape when moved.
Mountain View getting better
Fairways were excellent. Layout was excellent
Green were better than last time we played it. POA gone but some bare spot were still there . Green rolled better but still very slow. Pace of play was great. 3 1/2. Hours! Whispering pig BQ was great!!
Very nice and worth the money if you can get a discounted round.
If you can get a business discount or one through the golf now app the course is worth the 40$ to play. One of the nicest around the area
Not what it used to be
The staff is great and the design is great but the lack of upkeep and condition of the course was HORRIBLE! Fairways haven't been cut in days. Tee boxes are rough, but worst of all the greens! Some have serious lack of grass and all have weeds...actual weeds sticking up 3/8 of an inch! One green completely covered in goose crap. Definitely not worth the price. I can't speak for the condition of Mountain view course (it was where most of the golfers were) but Lakeview isn't worth the cabbage.
The course was in pretty good shape.Staff were very friendly, working onn repairing all the green., the lake course was great
Poor Greens
Course has bad drainage and the Greens were awful. Staff was kind and Champions Restaurant was good.
Nice Layout
Course was in OK shape, but the greens need some TLC. This course is not what it once was and it could be so much better with a little more attention to the greens and traps.
ok course
tees were ok
fairways were ok
greens were horrible
pace was great -under 4 hours
staff was very friendly
