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
Course good but......
Overall the course was pretty good. Has changed since the PGA days. Pace was acceptable given the resort nature of Callaway. Greens had just been punched and were very inconsistent. No warning on here or at course. My only complaint.
Great course
I played here on 7/9/20, we had a 9:20 time and were hooked up with two other people. But when I checked in, I was told if I wanted to play only with my son, we could go out at 9:10.
Course is in excellent shape, the rough is pretty high, so if you miss the fairway, it’s easy to lose your ball. Greens in great shape but a bit slow. Bunkers were consistent throughout.
Pace of play was great. All in all, great Mountain course, I play the lake view course tomorrow.
Solid Course
Small greens challenge the grounds crew given the volume of play but the greens are still respectable. This is still a solid course that is fun to play.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY
If you are looking to play on a reputable, great condition, former PGA course, then go somewhere else! Greens were bad, the fairway grass was anywhere from 1/8 th to 1/2 inches before you hit extremely packed and hard Georgia clay. It is better to play from the rough than from the fairway. Lake view is good for a $30 price tag and Mountain view(their signature course) is a complete bust especially at $40-$50 per round. If you swing and make a nice shallow divot, do not think you'll do the same on this course. It is like hitting off of asphalt and in a lot of fairways your club will bounce off of the ground in the fairway. The greens are in poor shape with most of them looking like a persons face with bad acne, and putting lines were obsolete. We will not return to Calloway Mountain View and opt for a local course in Columbus or go over to Opelika to play the Robert Trent Jone Course. They should have returned our money and felt ashamed that Calloway Gardens has such poor golf courses.
Loved the course. First time playing and will return!
Good course
Course was under maintenance and had to play lakeview at Callaway. Excellent greensfor this time of year. One cart per person unless family and you wish one cart. Fairways alittle rough but expected for april.
Not what it used to be
This course a few years ago was magnificent. The greens were already small but now a few holes are stupid small. Greens are in pretty good condition but they need to correct them soon. Fairways are ok for winter. Some of the upper tee boxes were just a mowed patch in the fairway- others tees were good. I was expecting the course to be so much better, but I was really disappointed. I’ll play the Lake course next time for sure
Covid 19 cup
For this time of year this course is excellent ! The staff of two during this Covid 19 are doing a fine professional job ,and I highly recommend visiting these guys ! Will be back this week isolating from. Virus ! Greg
Great overall
Nothing negative to say about this course at all. Great layout and atmosphere. Will definitely play here again.
Always great!
I’ve learned to expect nothing but great things in regards to Callaway gardens and that stood up today. Great course with a great layout. I look forward to playing here again!
Callaway Gardens Mountain view course nice day to play golf
