Lake View at Callaway Gardens Resort
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.

Nice Greens
The course was in the best shape it’s been all year. I play at Callaway every Friday so I saw a big difference in a week with us finally getting some rain. The greens were immaculant and were holding shots. My only complaint has been the water around the course for the past month has not had any ice and so it’s like drinking from the tap. I will probably be there this coming week to play again. I think you will enjoy your experience of playing Lakeview.
Callaway Lake
This is an amazing course after playing in Atlanta area for so long. There was grass in the fairways which were not impacted clay and the greens were awesome. This is a very nice and fair course. Most of the holes are fairly short and accessible in regulation if you play out of the fairways. If you;'re not in the fairway, you will get punished as there is plenty of forest and under brush. You must be precise off the tee and the scenery is outstanding. I could not have found a better value for this type course and will definitely play again. Worth the drive from Atlanta.
Awesome Course.
Great course that's always a pleasure to play. Very crowded on Saturdays from mid-morning to early afternoon so pace of play is very slow. Other than that, this is an awesome course.
A Great time
Staff are friendly. Greens are in great condition. Pace was a little slow but that’s to be expected on a Saturday afternoon. Great experience!
Thank you for your taking the time to play at Callaway and your kind post. We hope you can make it out again soon. Every season provides its own special features.
Awesome Course Beautiful Greens
I play this course almost weekly and can say it's one of the best maintained courses around this area. I teed off early
and never slowed down or had to wait on anyone. Great resort to stay for the weekend. Bring the wife and pamper her with a massage while you play golf and everyone's happy!
Thank you for your post. Sounds like the makings for a great weekend. And, what is it they say, "happy wife, happy life." We hope you both are able to visit again soon.
We appreciate your taking the time to share your thoughts. Please visit again soon.
Beautiful course
Absolutely beautiful course. Friendly staff.
Highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind words. And, we appreciate you taking the time to post your thoughts. We hope you are able to play again soon.
Thank you for your kind review. We hope you are able to play at Callaway Gardens again soon.
Green right on the $$$!
We had a 9:10 tee off and was able to tee off a little early. Problem is it should have been about 15 mins early because we got stuck behind 2 foursome that never bothered to allow us to play through. By no means was this the courses fault it was just a nuisance for us. We were waiting to him every shot we took. The only other suggestion would be to keep a close eye on your ball if it gets in the 2nd cut because it can be very difficult to find even it you think you know where it landed or stopped. As usual I will probably be there playing again this week sometime. Very friendly staff!!!!
We appreciate your thoughts, tips, and your review. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Great Course for the Value
You can always expect the course to be in excellent shape and the greens to be perfect. I personally don't think you can find a better place to play in the area for the value and course conditions. We be there again Friday provided Hurricane Irma doesn't keep us off the course.
Thank you for your great review. We hope Irma didn't interfere with your most recent visit.
Challenging But Good
Pay attention to your ball's landing position especially in the first cut of rough... can be hard to find until you are right on top of it!
Thank you for your suggestion. We hope you are able to play again soon here at Callaway Resort & Gardens.
Great course
Greens were in excellent shape. Pace of play was ideal and it was a beautiful day. Will most definitely play this course again.
Thank you for your kind words. We appreciate your taking the time to post and we look forward to your future rounds.
Beautiful Course
This was one of the nicest courses that I have played and the best this year. The greens were in fantastic shape as was the entire course. This is a five star course. I look forward to playing this course again. Thank you.
Great to hear. We appreciate your post. Thank you for your visit and we hope to see you again soon.
Very fun
Very fun relaxing course was in great shape just a little crowded as the other course had a frisbee golf tournament as I was told be would definitely go back and play against
Lake view
Course was in really good condition. Fairways and greens were great. Roughs were a little high for me but grounds crew were mowing and blowing grass. Took a little time to find balls if they went in first cut. Otherwise had a great time.
Thank you for your constructive comments. We'll share with the golf crew. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. We hope you are able to play a round again soon at Callaway Gardens.
A beautiful course
The course was beautiful, and a pleasure to play. It was in good shape, but not as nice as expected with some wet areas. The only issue was the food and beverage service on the course was poor. There was no food at the halfway house, and limited choices on the seldom seen beverage cart. Other than that it was a wonderful round.
Thank you for your play and your post. We'll share your comments regarding the food so that we can improve that. The rain has been plentiful as of late - more than most places can handle. Please come play again soon.
