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
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
Great round of folf
Course was in excellent condition. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.
Excellent Golf Course
Incredible course. Callaways Golf Courses never disappoint. A must go!!!
Friends
It is a great challenging golf course. The best part was the friends I got paired with to play. We had fun and the weather was great.
Still a challenge
Course still in good shape and a pleasure to play. The greens and bunkers are in good shape. The fairways are ok for March.
Good deal on GolfNow
I got a great deal on GolfNow. Had I paid full price, I would have been very disappointed in the course. The course was in very good shape considering the recent amount of rain. I would definitely play again if I find the same deal.
Solid Value
Thanks to Golf Now, I was able to secure a tee time on short notice for a great deal. The course was challenging with sloping fairways, lots of sand traps, and the greens quick. I was paired up with another single who had course knowledge which made the day even better. I will definitely share my experience with others.
Always Immaculate
Tight, challenging course. There's a reason the PGA made several stops back in the 2000's here. Course is well maintained! Always groomed to perfection. This is a very beautiful course! I would absolutely recommend playing here at least once! But i assure you, you will wish you booked 36 holes after you play the first 18!!!!!
Greens were in great condition and fast!
Had a great time even though my score didn't. Course was in good condition.
Possibly the Greatest Deal on GolfNow
How many courses on GolfNow have hosted a PGA event? The Mountain View course hosted the Buick Southern Open for many years. This is an outstanding course in top condition. Greens are fast with many subtle and not-so-subtle breaks so placing your approach is key. Woods line most of the holes, with little water, no OB, and no houses. However, multiple large bunkers surround many greens and along some fairways. Part of the Callway Gardens complex. Superb practice facilitiies and a top notch pro shop. A Hot Deal here might be the best value round of golf you will ever play.
Fun
Excellent course. Fairways are forgiving, greens are small, fast and guarded by bunkers. Very scenic especially in the spring.
Diamond in the rough
Classic old style course- better bring all of your shots - elevated greens ; deep bunkers
Georgia golf at it's best.
Found a great deal on GolfNow. Bermuda greens were in excellent condition. It's a stroll through the beauty of nature; course is very scenic and peaceful with just the birds chirping and deer and squirrels playing.
Not a value or worth the drive
I played this golf course in early August. The golf course is in decent condition, greens are nice, but the course gets play simply because if its name. Just off the fairway on every hole, nothing is maintained. It's unbelievable people pay $100 dollars to play golf out there, not worth the drive if traveling from Atlanta.
worth the drive
Our foursome drove down and played both courses. It was great. Tough but great. We plan to make this an annual event. I only wish that there were more dining choices in pine mountain.
Great course if you can play for $60.
Very nice. This was my first time playing it. Greens were in good shape. We got caught behind a group and had a 5 hour round. I enjoyed the course and would recommend it.
30th Anniversay Round
Mid-week play at 2:00 on a day when the weather was perfect. Staff in pro shop were extremely helpful and accommodating. Course was undergoing a few repairs due to the rain system that passed through a week before we arrived, but overall was in great shape. If we are in the area in the future, we will stop and play this course again.
Callaway Gardens-Mountain View
If you like sand, this is the course for you. A majority of the holes have a couple of bunkers in front of the green. However, if you can hit the ball in the air, you should have no problems. If you are looking for a nice relaxing round of golf, head to this place. Takes a few holes to get use to the greens (just a little slow), but when you do, they roll nice and true. A couple of par 3's are pretty long, but they are a nice change to the 140 to 150 yard common holes. Water comes in to play on a few holes, which makes things interesting. Staff is extremely friendly.
