Mountain View at Callaway Gardens Resort
Rating Snapshot
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.

Thank you for playing at Callaway Gardens and for your kind review. We hope that you can find an opportunity to play again soon.
Best golf resort in georgia
I played here with a friend and played the lake view and the mountain view. This review is the Mountain course. The course was great and customer service was great. The practice facilities where nice and I liked the clubhouse the restraunt was great. And the pace of play was great 3.5 hours. The course was awesome the fairways were very lush and the greens where rolling quick. The rough was very thick and your ball basically just disappeared. My favorite hole was etheir the 8th or the 14th hole. There where a lot of bridges on this course and many lakes, ponds, and streams. I couldn't believe how good the weather was on Thanksgiving 75 degrees. After your 36 holes on lake and mountain view then go to the restraunt up the road that serves Thanksgiving food.
It sounds like you had a great experience outside on the course and inside at the buffet. Thank you for your kind review. We hope you can play here again soon.
This is a great course.
Played the Mountainview Course and it is in excellent condition.
Thank you for your visit and post. We appreciate your kind words and hope that you can return to play soon.
Beautiful challenging course
Great layout.. Must aim for either left or right side of fairway and play the slope. Greens great. Rough was deep and punished you, as it should.
Great comments. We thank you for your visit and post, and hope that you will return again soon.
Fantastic Greens and Fairways with challenging bunkers
Course is in immaculate condition. Greens and fairways are in fantastic shape. They could add some more water on holes as when we played it must have been in the mid to upper 90's, and lots of water was needed. Pro shop is fantastic, and staff were very accommodating.
Thank you for your comments. We are glad that you enjoyed the course despite the temps. We'll share your comments with the pro staff.
Beautiful Course
Course is in excellent shape. My only minor complaint is that I wish there were more yardage markers on the sprinkler heads.
We are glad that you appreciated the course. We hope that you can return soon. We'll share your comments about the yardage markers.
Play condection
Greens and fairways of the state is very good , very satisfied yiyeotda games.
Thank you for your post. We are glad that you enjoyed the course. We hope you can visit and play again soon.
Green Conditions
The greens were in terrible shape! Sandy,dry, missing grass and they had aeration holes throughout.
Thank you for your comments and your visit. We had just aerified resulting in the holes that you saw. The greens are currently perfect. We hope you will come play again soon.
Callaway Gardens Mountain View
Course layout is challenging due to length, some over hanging tress and well guarded greens. Quite a few deep bunkers surround each green and some of the greens were on the small side. Tees in good condition, fairways in good condition and spacious. Greens rolled true and very quick for down hillers. Other than driving it crooked all day my main issue was chipping. Areas around the greens have very tight lies and are damp resulting in either fat duffs or thin runners. Great set of par 3's, two short and two long. Good score can be shot. Can't miss course, would like to play the other side someday it appears linksish from street view driving inn.
Thanks for the great review. We appreciate your taking the time to give a thorough statement. We hope you are able to play again soon.
Fun Resort Course
:00Booked a last minute Sunday morning tee time through GolfNow and had an excellent experience. I teed off at 9:00 and was done by noon. The course was interesting without being too difficult, the weather was great, and I enjoyed myself immensely. A great value!
Thank you for taking the time to share about your experience. Please come out again when the opportunity arises. We would appreciate your visit.
Greens and fairways in great shape
Greens and fairways in great shape. Rough is very fair, however there are areas where the ball will sink out of sight. Most of the wooded areas are cleaned with minimum bad areas unless the ball is hit into an area where you would not expect to find it.
Fall is a great time to play our courses. We are glad that you had a great experience. In Decatur, you aren't that far. We hope you'll come try out some Spring golf at Callaway Gardens.
Great course. Greens didn't roll as well as expected
Fantastic layout. Very good condition. Greens didn't roll as true as I expected
We appreciate your post and your business. We hope you'll come try us out again. Thank you.
Excellent conditions on all 36 holes !
I play a lot of golf on many courses. This course was excellent! Best course I've played in years . Layout, condition , staff. HIGHLY recommended. All 36 holes in perfect condition.
Thank you very much for your kind words, rating, and for choosing Callaway Gardens. We hope you are able to play again soon.
Top Notch Golf Course
Very similar to the Pinehurst courses. Enjoyable round of golf on a first class course. Lots of variety and great conditions for midsummer. I think I liked the Lake course a tad better but they were both great.
Thank you for taking the time to post about your playing experience at Callaway Gardens. We hope that you are able to play our courses again if you are in Georgia. We appreciate your business.
Glad it's back
Was hesitant to come back to Mountain View again. The last few times I have played the greens on the back 9 have been terrible. Winter kill or just plain rot; they were in bad shape for awhile. Got a great deal on the round so decided it was worth the risk. Greens were fine all the way around. Callaway course is always well kept so the sub-par greens were a surprise, the fact that is seemed to last a year was also a surprise. Not to fear now, great to see this classic course back to its fighting weight.
After great difficulty logging in, we are late to say "Thanks!" for the post. We did have some challenges - mostly due to crazy weather - but our team has done a great job and really worked hard on the course. We hope you are in the area and able to play again soon.
Peaceful course
Very nice course. Great customer service. Wonderful practice facility. Generous fairways. Receptive greens. Water is lurking on some holes. I totally enjoyed this course
Thank you for the great course. And, for choosing to play at Callaway Gardens. We hope you'll play here again - maybe try the Lake View course - if you are back in Georgia.
PGA quality at Public prices
The course was fantastic and fabulous shape. The driving range was exceptional and will set away from the course for privacy. From the first tee to the 18th the pace of play was about an hour less than expected four hours. It was exciting to play a course that the pros have played on for the Buick invitational in the past. Highly recommended
Great course
We had a blast playing the course. The only problem we had was using the golf now app. The front and back 9 were reversed in the app from what they are at the course. But I will definitely be going back to this course another day for another round.
Beautiful but challenging course
The longer length and the many traps of this course would attract low handicapped golfers who enjoy challenges Beautifully maintained greens and fairways make it enjoyable for any golfer. We also played the Lakes course which was also beautiful and well maintained but a little more gentle and friendly to seniors and more average golfers
