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.

Pleased to See Improvements
This was a wonderful course to play several years ago, then course conditions declined over the past few years.
I’m pleased to see the course back in very good condition.
Callaway Gardens Lake
Course conditions significantly better since the greens have been worked on.
Fun course.You have to fly the ball on to the greens bunkers guard the approach.
Enjoyable, always
My wife and I always have the most pleasant round at this club. No starters, marshals, or manner-less players. It's all up to universal common sense and courtesy of the players. The Lakeview course was in the periodic maintenance phase, so if you are very serious about the scores, this may not be the best time to play. Nonetheless, we had a wonderful time.
Lake view course
Tee boxes in good shape, fairways very nice, rough was solid, bunkers were in good shape…… the greens not so much. They are working to repair them but they are just not in good shape at the moment. I would play again anytime though because the course is beautiful and the greens are the final piece of the puzzle.
Great layout and amenities
I really enjoy playing at Callaway when I can redeem hot deals through GolfNow. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the pro shop has many options of food/merchandise. Course upkeep can sometimes leave some to be desired, with bunkers sometimes having the lining exposed and greens sometimes having noticeable imperfections and bumps. With that being said, the chance to play this course at around $30-35 still makes it great value for the price. Will be playing here again.
This course was great for the family.
We had a group of 4 plus 1 junior. The staff was accommodating with our tee time as one player was running a little late. We played Lakeview, and it was challenging to find hole one. They said to follow the blue arrows, but we found ourselves searching for them. It took us a while to get started because of this.
Great Golf
You'll find a very friendly staff to assist you with your clubs and in the clubhouse.
The course is in great condition for good scoring opportunities
Don't miss your chance to go low at the Gardens
LAKEVIEW @ CALLAWAY GARDENS
The course was in pretty good shape. I got through 10 holes before the storm hit. I was an individual playing and had two groups of 4 ahead of me that would not let me play through. The would finish up and wait for the other group to finish before tee in off on the next hole. I gave play this course numerous times good course to play
Could be better
I Remember playing the Callaway courses in the early 2000's and thought it couldn't get any better. Well dont show up thinking they're in the same shape because theyre not. For whatever reason......probably money.
The Lakeview course is fun, fairlly easy and is in decent shape. On the positive side the fairways and rough were in pretty decent shape. There are some weed issues though. On the negative side the greens are decent/fair at best. They were mowed but there is a poana/weed problem on a majority of them. For whatever reason the tee boxes weren't mowed. This led to high grass so your teed up ball barely hovers above the grass line. Some of the bunkers need more sand and for someone to get in them and kill the numerous weeds that are sprouting up in them.
I really enjoyed my round and i will be back.....just know that it could be better.
Has potential but needs a LOT of work
For the money this course was just not cutting it. Grass on the tee boxes was super long, the difference between fairway and rough was minimal, and the greens were in bad shape. There are some cool holes and scenery on the lakeside is nice but in order for this course to get better they will need to seriously invest in course management. Do not see myself playing here again until changes are made.
mountain view
mountain view course was played because the lakeview course had a small tournament.
tees were ok
fairways and rough were perfect.
most greens had some bad spots so we had to move the putt to a better location on the green.
most greens were in execellent shape when moved.
