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 are gone
They have allowed the death of all the greens.
Nothing but sand and dirt with a few patches of grass.
The fairways were nice - but the bunkers were not well maintained.
Not worth more than $30 at most for cart and 18.
You will not be pleased - unless you never play, and don’t know what a golf course should look like.
What happened?
The greens are in a state of emergency right now. Idk what the plan management has for the course, but I hope they turn it around since they are charging 2-3x more for a regular tee time than anyone else in the area.
Greens?
A good green for scoring is basically nonexistent. Literal sand bunkers, holes, craters, mazes etc on majority of the greens on this course. The course itself it’s awesome. Such a great layout that provides a challenge. But can we do some maintenance or dare I say it? even replacing some?
Greens need work
The fairways and tee boxes were in great condition. Some drainage issues on some of the fairways, but overall in good condition, even with all the rain we have had lately. The greens were horrible. There were bare spots and some bare spots they tried to fill with sand. I don’t know how you are supposed to putt across that. I played with my sons, so we would lift and place so we could have a clear putt at the hole.
I would expect better by Callaway Gardens
Hubby and I played the Mountain View course. It was a challenging course for us, but compounded by bad green conditions. The bunkers, though plentiful, were not well maintained. I would probably play the course again, but only after verifying greens conditions. (And making sure it’s not cart path only- as we experienced.)
There was nothing great about that cause
The course was awful. The greens was total disaster $49. The course is not worth $18.
Callaway Gardens Mountain
The course is in bad shape especially the greens. Haven’t played in awhile and was embarrassed to bring a guest. At the turn we decided to get a $15 burger that was worse than the course. They need a total overhaul.
Course is begging for revival
Beautiful layout that previous management has let go. What a shame, but it can be revived; just needs an injection if money and proper maintenance. But it needs it yesterday! Greens and bunkers are horrible. Fairways are ok. I hope cuurent owners will commut to the golf courses and bring them back to resort and championship quality. Too beautiful to let them die but not fun to play in present conditions.
Poor Greens
The greens were very patchy. I had last played here about five weeks ago and hoped they would at least look a little better this time around, but there were no signs of any trends in the right direction. $85+ for a round is very steep for the shape of these greens. Bull Creek’s look considerably better and they’re still recovering from being hit by a tornado.
Greens in bad shape
There is a lot to like about the course but the greens being in bad shape are hard to get past. They are working on them but spring of 25 they are hard to play. Friend played Lake View and said it has same issue.

Greens need work.
Decent course for the hot deal rate of 27 bucks. Greens rolled pretty well but there were some bare spots and poana weeds.
used to be great
tee boxes in less than average condition
fairways were very wet after 6 inches in last three days.
Greens had POA and a lot of patches where there was no grass.
course needs a lot of maintenance
Greens are beachy
Tee boxes and fairways were good but the greens were absolutely horrible. They were dead, completely covered in sand, and extremely rough. Some greens had massive craters either chipping over, putting through, or putting around going around from the flag.
Easy and Scenic
We played Lake View and Mountain View.
We enjoyed the challenge of Lake View more.
Lake View greens were better maintained.
Great course
We play it every year before the Holidays. The course is decorated with Christmas lights and ornaments.
