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
Backed up and very slow
I play this course often. Never seen it so slow. They had a tournament on the other course. All other players played Mountain View.
Fast pace
Greens were being rolled and were aerated probably two weeks ago.putted ok. Tees and fairways were in good shape but rough was high enough were you could lose a ball if you did not watch it carefully. Played back nine first and played it quickly. Front nine was a little bit slower so we skipped a few hole since I was ill a while back
Mountain View
Course is in pretty bad shape. Greens on front 9 are horrible. Greens on back 9 were just bad. Fairways weren’t terrible but also weren’t great. This ised to be a phenomenal course. Paid 34 to play and feel like that was an okay deal.
Mountain Hopeful
Nice layout, Greens well protected by bunkers making approach shots critical. Sand is better than most Georgia course allowing shot making. Fairways look tight but have plenty of forgiveness.
Down side - greens in rough shape and have been for a while. Lake course has the better greens. Bunkers not well kept. When you have sand, they are fun. Lack of sand causing the underlining felt to pop up. Have yet to play when they were well groomed. Seems like only one cart person for two courses on a Saturday. Hit or miss on the availability of range balls. Seems funny for a resort course. Last week they said they hadn't picked the range but there was no balls out there. Extremely disappointed when you can't warm up. This Saturday the had big bucket free of charge, so that was nice.
Understand it is under new management. One of the greens keeper told me there is going to be serious work done on the mountain course to get it back up its former tournament level. Hope that is true.
Not good
The greens are terrible. This course needs a lot of work. I would not pay more than 30 dollars for this course. If you do you will be disappointed
Greens
We love playing at Callaway Gardens. The course needs rain but the greens are suffering from the extreme heat. Hope Mother Nature will help improve conditions. It’s always a treat to play both Lakeview and Mountain View.
Great Value
Enjoyed playing this course. However the "first cut" that's in front of the tee boxes and before the fairways has to be cut. My buddies lost balls in there that should have been seen and playable. Also found others golf balls in these areas. Will come back and play lake view course.
Beautiful and serene surroundings
I understand the most recent posts. However, progress is being made. Fairways and roughs are being mowed. Fairways just aerated. New bathroom on #12. Green fringes are much better than 1 year ago. Sand and greens need work. My rating was based on special rate. Overpriced today at the rack rate. The structure is here - PGA tour layout. Let’s save it and spruce it up. Let’s not waste a tremendous asset.
