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.

Sandy

Would have been helpful to know the entire course had been sanded, especially the greens and tee boxes. Balls bounced on the green instead of rolling - aerated recently as well. Bunkers are not groomed.

If had known, would not have selected this location.

Mountain course is opposite of electronic tracking.

My review is about Callaway Garden

I bought the Lake View, but I was sent to play the Mountain View due to the wet conditions. Why didn't they tell me the Lake View was closed? I could have cancelled my reservation and played somewhere else. I drove one hour 15 minutes one way and I wasted my time and money. The club house attendant was rude and very unfriendly.

reservation issue

On Wednesday 2/21/24 I made what i thought was a reservation to play on Sunday 2/25/24. I finalized the purchase and printed out the receipt. I had been searching the site for a tee time on Sunday. I found a suitable time and was ready to purchase when i noticed a much cheaper price for the same course. i was naturally excited and accepted this price. Never gave it a second thought or checked the receipt to verify . My son who is my playing partner called me on Thursday 2/22/24 to cancel. I went to the site to cancel and cannot to his day find anyway to cancel a reservation. To make matters worse, I found out that my reserved golf date was for Thursday 2/22/24 not Sunday 2/25/24. according to the rules, there was no way to cancel this reservation that I thought was for Sunday 2/25/24. Writing this on Saturday 03/02/24. Still unable to find any directions to cancel a reservation. I will never use this service again.

Callaway Mountain Course

Friendly staff. Played after afew days of heavy rain so course conditions were okay at best, but not their fault. The greens were not in very good shape. Big patches of sand on afew and hadn’t been mowed in afew days. Bunkers were surprisingly nice and didn’t have much grit within the sand. Tee boxes weren’t the worst I’ve seen but definitely aren’t their top priority. There is little to no signage for navigating around the course and by the clubhouse. And the signs that are there, aren’t correct. I’d play there again, but never off of a H0T Deal.

Callaway Lake Course

Staff was friendly and very informative. The course was in good shape but the greens were on the slow side. A lot of the green were fronted by traps needing a high shot to clear the traps and stop fast. Pace of play was great and we finished the course in three hours. Of course we were a twosome with no one in front of us. Overall a very good course.

Fresh Change of Pace

This was my best ever choices for going golfing. Everyone was nice and courteous. The course was in prime shape considering the past few months of harsh hot weather. My Tee time was at 10:30 am on a week day, and played with no one rushing me, allowing me to relax!! When I completed my round the grill was open and had very delicious food. 10 out of 10 most definitely recommended and will return soon.
