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.

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.

Mismanaged

Greens are atrocious, staff is less than thrilled to be there, range is abysmal as well as communication and coordination of range balls. Greens are poorly kept and patchy. The fairways are nice but I aceragr a 260-270 drive and I was hitting 320.

I could’ve gone to RTJ and spent less money.

Mismanagement of Wonderful course

This course use to be a shining star right out side the Columbus area. The greens are terrible, the course is hard as asphalt, and the amenities are less that stellar. The Staff all but want to be there, hardly any one smiles, no one knows what’s going on half the time, and the course leaves you feeling like you should have just stayed in town and played a 1 star location.

Dumpster Fire..

Supposedly a resort course but it is way worse than 90-95% of other courses in the area..the first tee is nicer than this place… they have lost their greens it’s an absolute rip off what they are charging a rack rate here, to think how beautiful Callaway Gardens is and they can’t maintain a course any better than this with the huge staff they have here?

Champions Grill was worth it , course heck no..

Had a really good lunch at champions grill that was the highlight.. lol.. course is in really really bad shape, huge spots on the green some 50-75% gone with only a small 15 foot circle of grass for them to change pin locations in. They are all like concrete as well, no shot will hold watched our balls land on greens all day and bounce 6-8 feet in the air and keep going, literally even landed short 5-10 yards and watched balls then hit the green go off long.. I am all for fast greens but these are like concrete.. bunkers had hardly any sand in them at all.. won’t be back here until major renovations take place.

Trash Course Not Worth Hot Deal!!

So me and a partner went to play, I booked on hot deal, picked him up was on way to course he was booking for hot deal , app crashed ! When he pulled it back up it was gone! So went to check in he was still trying , couldn’t get it so he was just gonna pay standard rate so as a senior citizen at a 4:00 tee time with 90 degrees out she charged him $71.00!!! The course is in horrible shape ! Greens are dying or dead down to dirt and the bunkers have the liners all sticking up through the place.. this course is not worth a $25.00 round if that.. and it’s considered a resort !!! I will never be back here for sure!! Check the pics of the greens and bunkers.. then restaurant was supposed to be open till 9 according to sign in cart and was closed up and locked at 5:00!!

Almost worth the green fees

Staff were amazing. Course environment was amazing. Some of the tee boxes were in bad shape. The fairways were all decent to very good. Some of the greens had some bald spots, but nothing was horrendous. We paid $69 per golfer, but I feel like $45-55 would have been more appropriate.
