Rating 73.7

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.

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.

Decent course for the hot deal rate of 27 bucks. Greens rolled pretty well but there were some bare spots and poana weeds.

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.

What A Deal

If it were closer to my home it would be perfect. A couple of greens aren't perfect but the others are. Fairways are in very good shape. Keep an eye on off-fairway balls as they could hide in thick turf.

Bunker Bunker Bunker.

Challenging because most of the greens are protected by bunkers and running the ball up is risky. Also, it's my understanding that vast improvements in the condition of the course is underway. Looking forward to playing the Lakeview course next time.

Horrible Greens

My overall experience was sub par. The fairways were alright, the greens were horrible. Being that it once was a PGA Tour tournament spot, you would have never guessed that. I do understand it has been many years ago, but still you would think it was maintained a little better. I even brought a friend from Florida about two years to play the lake side course and again that was a sub par as well.

I was lucky that golfnow had a $30 Hot deal. I would not pay a penny more due to the shape of their course.

The layout is a bit confusing as to were the driving range is at. I was told to just follow the red arrows down a cart path and then they disappear, until you cross the road and bam there is the last red arrow.

I will not be returning to play at either Calloway gardens golf courses until I know for sure it is in better shape.

Sincerely

Unhappy custo.er

First Impressions

Course layout is very good. They need a Marshall to keep resort golfers moving . We skipped one hole to get around 2 groups - we finished 5 holes in front of that group - we played the back nine in well under 2 hours after a 2 and a half front nine. Rough is tough , you want to keep it on the fairway - ball is hard to find in the rough- Greens are ok - you need to make sure you are playing the right tees to make this enjoyable.
