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.

Callaway is always our favorite

The course was undergoing aeration, naturally the greens and fairways were punched. We had to play the back 9 twice.

The staff was always courteous and nice. Despite all the inconvenience and heat, we enjoyed a leisurely and relaxing round.

Resort layout, rough greens

The greens need some work, but playable. it does appear that they may be improving. Other than that, the course layout is beautiful. I’d play it again for a hot-deal price. I think you’d be satisfied, unless you’re a touring professional.

Not as advertised!

Unfortunately, I booked the hot deals prior to reading reviews and regretted my decision! As others indicated, the course is in rough shape and over priced, even at the discounted rate via hot deals. Tee box wasn’t kept and grass as high as the rough. Bunkers were filled with weeds with compact ‘sand.’ Small greens with dirt patches everywhere! Save your money and go elsewhere. $80 regular weekend green fees is highway robbery. I will not return!

Save your money

The greens were horrible. The Fairways were maintained decently. They should close one course and really put an effort into the other.

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.)

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.
