Rating 69.1

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.

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.

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!

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!!!!

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.

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!

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.

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.
