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.

Golfer Reviews
Bad course maintenance
I’m assuming we were the first tee time since the greens had not been cut. They were running ahead of us trying to cut, blow the greens. They failed! Half the greens were not blown off so we just picked up. They neglected to put the flags back up on three holes so we just aimed for the green and hunted the flags when we got up there. I don’t live far and have played several times in the past, I brought three friends with me and was totally embarrassed!
Sixsomes
two groups of six young men clogged up the course. I do not understand why this was allowed. This course has seen better days. An image of the bathroom behind the fourth green would ruin your dinner.
Final day of vacation at F.D. Roosevelt State Park
Quite a bit of rain the night before which slowed the greens. 11am tee time with no wait. Great day of golf with my 15 year old son who is taking interest in the game. Look forward to playing here again the next time we are in the area.
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
