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
Greens were not as good as they have been in the past
Worst greens I have ever played
Flew into Atlanta on business/fun trip. Had a buddy who had played it along time ago so we drove from Atlanta to the course. Putting green was in horrible shape but I had hoped it was nothing like what we would see on the course. I don’t know if the greens had a disease but it was like putting on ugly concrete. It was a shame because the course is very pretty. It was almost impossible to hit the green with an iron and for the ball to stay on the green. Paid $70 for the round and felt cheated. Would come back and play again if I knew their greens improved.
Bar is pricey
If the beverage prices were a little more reasonable, then it would have been the perfect golf facility
Good Course but Tough Conditions
I've played this course before and it was in great shape. It was obvious that the area had a very bad winter, Very little grass on the fairways and greens. Hopefully when the weather warms up the conditions will improve.
Callaway gardens mountain course
A very fun/scene course. Course in good condition but not as great as it was in past years
Great course
I have played this course many times and the greens were as good as I seen. I love playing this course.
We greatly appreciate your patronage and your taking the time to share your enjoyment of playing at Callaway Gardens. We look forward to your future visits.
Always a pleasure to play
We venture to Callaway Gardens for a fall weekend every year. The course was in great shape this week, the greens were speedy and in great shape. We played mountain view and the resident turkeys were out and about as usual. Mountainview is challenging but not over the top, packed pretty tight for a Sunday afternoon and a bit of wait time between holes but still a pleasure to play. Never disappointed here.
It can't get much better than that when it comes to reviews or testimonials. We appreciate your taking the time to share your thoughts. And, we look forward to your future visits for years to come.
Thank you for taking the time to share thoughts regarding your playing golf at Callaway Gardens. We hope you can play again soon.
Thank you for your patronage and your review. We hope you'll come play again soon.
The course is in great condition
We played early afternoon when the heat index was 106 so we had the course to ourselves. The course is in very good condition, the tall Bermuda ruff made you keep the ball in the fairway and the greens are perfect. Staff was very friendly
It sounds like you had a great time and the course to yourself. We hope you are able to come out and play again soon, perhaps when its a little cooler. Thank you for your post.
Nice course but needs more water coolers in July
This was a really nice course but we played it in July. Even starting at 8am the temperature became unbearable after the turn. There were no water coolers on the course and the cart girl was nowhere to be found. The cart had a cooler but I didn't think I would need to use it, because surely there would be water at every other hole at such a nice course in July. There wasn't! I finished with a massive headache and minor nausea. Unrelated, the pimento cheese sandwich was delicious, but don't get two like me thinking it won't be enough. They're huge!
Thank you for your post and your constructive feedback. For future visits, please know the cart begins at 9 a.m. and was out on July 2nd. We aren't sure why your paths didn't cross. Also, when you make the turn, not only is water available inside the Pro Shop, Champions has a walk-up window open on weekends to make it a quick stop. We definitely agree that there needs to be water available on the hot, humid days of Summer in the South. We hope you will play again soon.
Thank you for your review. We are glad that you enjoyed playing golf at Callaway Gardens. We hope to see you again soon.
Amazing Georgia Golf Gem
This is one of the most beautiful GA golf courses around. It's amazing tees, fairways, and greens superb. You have to go!
Thank you for your playing Callaway Gardens' Mountain View course and your kind words. We appreciate them very much and we hope you are able to play at Callaway Gardens again soon.
Thank you for your post. We apologize that you didn't feel the value was there. We do hope that you will try us again in the future.
We are glad to hear your round was 5-star worthy. We hope you can return and play again soon.
Well Worth The Drive!
This classic Dick Wilson design was a joy to play. There are virtually no homes on the course,; just the beautiful forest, lakes and challenging but fair holes to view.
The greens were firm and fast,, rolled well and had little grain to them. Take about a half a club more into most greens because most of them are raised with beautifully-tongued bunkers surrounding them as well. There are a couple of par 5's that I would like to go back and play again (6 & 11) where you have to be careful to avoid the water that is not in full view.
I can see why they played the Buick Open here! You know its a great course when you can still remember all the holes days after playing them.
What a great compliment. Thank you for taking the time to come play and to post about your experience. We hope you are able to come play a round again soon, or try the Lake View Course.
Thank you for your post and review. We hope you are able to visit and play again soon, or try the other course - the Lake View Course.
