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.

Love this course!!!

Prefer it to Mountain - pace of play and scenery are both much better!!! Love old school courses - unique challenges and I get to hit every club in the bag. Highly recommend to beginners - large fairways and not very long, but fun. More highly skilled golfers have a chance for risk/reward shots and to put a good number on the scorecard if you are striking the ball and clubbing well...

Newbie's Review

I'm a 40 handicap and have only been playing for about 4 months first of all. This was my first course to play outside my home club. I found this course both extremely challenging and fun. It was because of the mixture of hazards, open fairways, and strategic points. I was very surprised by the fact I actually hit the tee TOO far on a couple of par 4's!

I was really able to improve my game by playing this course!

great course for beginners or seasoned players

I loved this course... Its a great course for beginners as well as seasoned golfers....For beginners, its great because you have wide fairways and its fairly short, but not so short to where a seasoned golfer couldn't get a challenging round if they played from the back tee. Its also gives the experienced golfer challenges because almost every hole has 4 different sand pits surrounding them... The course was fabulous and the scenery was amazing..I will definetly play again....

Easy course

The course is in excellent shape. Large groups sometimes cause slow play. Staffing is more like public course than resort.

Nice Layout

Very nice course. Conditions were very good. Pace of play was excellent on a Thursday afternoon at 4:30pm - didn't wait for 30 seconds the entire round. Played the Mountain course. Had reserved a tee time for the Lake course, but upon arrival staff informed me the Lake course had just been aerated, so they transferred my on line reservation to Mountain. I'd go back - great day.

Nice test of golf

Wide fairways are one of the features I enjoyed. Grass was mowed everywhere and the course was green all over. Great shape. I played from the white tees and found that driver was not the best play off the tees. The par 4s are not that long so a hybrid may be your best play off the tee. Short par 4s probably contribute to the lower course rating. Holes around the lake are very pretty and #10 is a good hole over the lake. My undoing was #17, a narrow tee shot with trouble left and right. Enjoyed my round very much.

New course Callaway Lakeview

Somewhat challenging course. Well groomed, and scenic. moderately priced, and not too far from the city that it could be a day trip, or a weekend adventure.

Play this course!

This course may be south Georgia's best kept secret. The course has a fun layout and it's surprisingly scenic. Beautiful views of Pine Mountain, sprawling lakes, winding bridges, and all of this is surrounded by the lush landscaping of Callaway Gardens. Don't hesitate to play this one, you will not be disappointed.

Very short course, was not in good condition

The Lake course is very short and I played the back tees. There are alot of patches on the greens, bad spots on the greens and work is still being done, so it is in below average condition. Not worth playing in my opinion.

This is a great course. I played in the afternoon, so it was very slow. Overall, the course is well maintained and the staff was very helpful and friendly.

Not what I hoped for

Fairways were very thin and sparse in places. Greens were also very thin with lots of dead spots. Pace of play was very good, but that was just a reflection of how few people were playing the course. It has been a very wet year in the area, so that could explain some of the conditions, but they still charge premium green fees of $70 or higher. For that amount, I expect better playing conditions

1st time playing course

Really enjoyed playing this course. Fairways not as wide as indicated in ads. You have to be accurate with shots. I think I hit every Sand trap on the course. Will definitely go back and play again. Lost a few balls, but found twice as many as were lost. Thanks for a great day.

Nice course

Course plays very short. Used my irons very few times, drive to a wedge on many holes. However the greens and fairways are in good condition, service was great, and course flows very well. There were not interruptions in play. Being that it is in a community, offset from a bigger city, the course was busy but not overcrowded.

Very disappointment

Service as for the customer service & to the customer service. No personal, be professional. Reason I say that because I didn't have right service from staff member. What a shame on Gallaway Garden. Very disapointment.
