Mountain View at Callaway Gardens Resort
About
Callaway Gardens boasts two different 18-hole golf courses, but it’s much more than just a golfing destination. Situated amid the southernmost foothills of the Appalachians, the resort was created in 1952 as an educational, horticultural, and recreational facility. The mission was to embrace the beauty of the natural environment and preserve the natural resources offered by the wetlands and forests. Playing either golf course you’ll be surrounded by pristine landscapes abundantly filled with native wildlife. The Mountain View Course is the longer and more challenging of the two. While it may not have as much water as the aptly named Lake View, the Mountain View golf course will truly test your shot-making abilities with narrow fairways tightly lined with trees and several tricky doglegs. One hole where you’ll encounter water is the signature par-5 sixth, where both the tee and approach shots are over water.

Great hole! Photo submitted by dongolf0123 on 04/21/2014
Good test for any skill!
The track is great. Pick the right tees and this will be fun but challenging.
Great layout poor conditions
Was excited to play had heard great things! But wow, greens were a huge disappointment! Lots of unknown grass in the greens, very bumpy, not sure when they had been cut or top dressed. Any sand on the greens would have helped for sure. Played on a hot deal for $59.00 but truly only worth $30-40 at this point. Sorry, just being honest, course is 3-4 weeks away from being worthy of 60.00+ to play.
Driving Range
If you already struggle with putting you might have a chance here. The greens are so bad that a miss read and a miss hit could go in. The course conditions are slightly better than Durham Lakes. Forget the green fees it wasn't worth the gas money spent to play. A morning at the driving range would have been more enjoyable.
Great course
Greens were firm and rolled well. Could have used a cut, but in good shape. Mountain View is a great layout and one of the best in SW Georgia.
Nice old course
Layout is good and pretty. Too much Poa in the greens which made iputting difficult. A little more on course maintenance would be nice.
Course Overwhelmed
So the course is nice. The greens need some major love. We played on a Saturday not knowing that the Big East Women’s Tournament was playing with the Men doing a practice run. And another large group playing.
So they were short on carts.. There was no water on the course , temps in the mid 80’s ( and coolers are not allowed). And no beverage cart.
The bathroom on the back 9 was out of order. The turnaround was overwhelmed. And when our partners cart died on the 7th hole no one in the pro shop answered the phone.
So if you play on a Monday - Wednesday you are probably good.
Greens are on the struggle..
Greens are full of clover and other weeds even when freshly mowed they don’t roll true had several putt straight to heart of hole and go over a clump of weed and kick right or left. They were also pretty firm and would not hold a pitch shot unless you put a lot of spin to it. Tee boxes were also pretty bad some unmowed with 3-4 inches of weeds .. it being prime time of spring at Callaway I thought the course would have been in pristine shape… not the case at all.
I know I did played after rain but Good fairway condition But anyway all putting greens are messy some plants are there could not putts. And also didn’t cuts.so bakk s rolling speeds are so slow most of all putting green. No fun.
Ugly greens
Greens were horrible. Too much weeds all over the green. I won't play this course unless they fix this problem.
Great value
Really enjoyed our round. Greens didn’t look very good, but putted well. I will definitely make the 1 hour drive to play Mountain View again!
