Lake View at Callaway Gardens Resort
Rating Snapshot
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.

Purse changed
Was scheduled to play lakeview but maintenance closed the course and had us play mountain view the tees and fairways were well maintened but the greens were not as nice as lakeview.
Should be better
The course is nice, tee boxes could use some attention. Coolers are throughout the course but with no water. Could and should be better for the price you pay?
Needs lots of work
I played this course about 15 years ago and had a great time…nice course, well maintained.
This time was very different. Many of the tee boxes are very chewed up with bald spots, and a number of the greens have large brown areas (and the hot season hasn’t started yet!)
The fairways are in ok condition.
My biggest criticism is the bunkers. Most of the greens are well bunkered-it’s the only challenging thing about this course-fair enough. But all of the bunkers had mud, or a very thin layer of sand over mud in the bottoms. The sand on the sides was very wet and hard-obviously hadn’t been raked in a long time. If you’re going to heavily bunker a resort course, at least take care of the bunkers so that hi and mid-handicappers have a chance of getting out. I am a mid-handicap player, fairly good in sand…and I struggled in the sand. I played with three hi-handicappers who -not once-got out of a bunker within 3 strokes.
This could be a nice course if Callaway would maintain it, don’t waste your money now…there’s much better public course for less money!
Enjoyed
Callaway is always my favorite. The greens did show some fatigue, but the whole course is well maintained. I started just before lunch time and there were a few groups that caused some slow down, but it happens and I accept it.
Great shape . Excellent pace
Tees, fairways, and greens were in great shape
Bunkers needed a little work. e was wonderful and pro shop was very friendly. Will definitely be back
Greens were vertices two weeks ago and putt very good
Beautiful course for young men and women
Overall condition of the course is very good but very short so using a driver is not required except for a few holes. The last 18th hole is very exciting and requests some strategical decisions.
Fast round at callaway
Golf now price was excellent. Pace of play was excellent. Tees and fairways were in good condition considering that we have received a large amount of rain. Greens were recently Vert a Cut but there was no POA on any green. In two more weeks the greens should be excellent is sanded and watered.
