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.

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.

Lakeview

It is a very scenic course and I got what I paid for. The course was very open and offered some challenges. The course was a lot shorter than what I thought it would be and the fairways could use a little work. I'll chalk that up to the abundance of rain we've had in the area over the past couple of weeks. Overall, I was very happy with the experience and plan to play rounds there in the future.

Fun course. Fairly easy, good for beginners. Super short course. Bunkers and greens were not exactly stellar, but certainly better than some other courses I've played in the area.

Conditions were a little wet. Great course though. Probably even better once the grass greens up from it's present dormant state. Challenging course. Worth it

The course is in good shape considering the recent rains and has dried out to where it is not too wet. The greens are in very good shape and are rolling nicely.

Short but Sweet

Very short course but greens and bunker locations make approach shots difficult. Surroundings are second to none. $23 on golf now made this a no-brainer. Will be back!
