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.

Course is in bad shape

This course used to host a PGA tournament…but they don’t take care of it anymore. Sandy greens with weeds make putting a tall task. If they would invest the time and money into it, it would be a 5 star course.

Greens are gone

They have all but lost the greens on Mountain View.

Got in 9 but lightning came and had to end after 9 - so not sure what back looked like.

The front was like playing Plinko.

Horrid conditions

I've not played Callaway gardens in several months. I had heard they hired a new greenskeeper that was supposed to be sprucing things up so I was hopeful that conditions would have improved since my last time out. This was not the case...

The grass on the greens is more scarce than ever with several having at least 50% or more sand content for coverage.

I know that it is still early spring and the Bermuda is just starting to come out of dormancy but a lot of the tee boxes are scarce as well.

There is a huge hole dug to the right hand side of the 15th green that has no protective barrier around it whatsoever. If you're not careful nor knew it was there you could fall in and break a leg or worse your neck.

I played on a hot deal for $45 but the course is not even worth half that. It is definitely not catered to the locals wanting to find a course to frequent. I'm sure that the main revenue stream is from resort guests and visitors from out of state.

I'm typically not the type to be a keyboard warrior but this is beyond ridiculous. How this golf course went from a tour destination in the '90s and early 2000s to what it is now is above and beyond me??????

Seriously for these green fees ?

Greens are almost solid poanna, bunkers may as well be concrete.. course not even on par with a lot municipalities courses I have played.. 5 hr round of golf as well with extremely slow play and stacked team times with no starter or Marshall on course.. this is a $35-40 with cart fee course if that.. don’t think you’re coming here for “resort” golf.. go to Auburn to RTJ instead.. this course is far past its prime , hard to believe it was once a tour destination in the 90’s..

Improving

I lived in this area several years ago. This was once a premier course, but conditions had changed and gone down over the years since the Buick Southern Open was held here. Glad to see the staff is putting effort into making it the venue it once was. Staff was amazing. I can't wait to go back when the grass has come in. We could see the efforts made on the course.

Greens need work

The course is nice and has a resort feel to it. the fairways are pretty wide and greens are big enough but need work on the dead areas of which there are a lot.

Good course shady staff

I played here the Saturday after Thanksgiving with my granddaughter and 2 other family members. Had a great day but in my haste to get my granddaughter home for her birthday party I left a shark quarter zip in our cart. Upon arriving home and realizing what I had done I called back to the course. The girl who answered in the pro shop verified with the bag drop guys that they had my jacket. She said they would bring it to the pro shop so I could get it next time I play. When I checked in this past Saturday nobody knew anything about it. Obviously my fault but would hope for better results from a course of this level. Disappointing to say the least.

Very pretty and relaxing.

Lake course is fun and a neat layout. Good shape! The Mountain course is much longer and more difficult. The mountain course greens had a few issues but looks like there handling things. Unless your a good golfer then try the lake course first. Great place to play and eat. Highly recommended.

Nice course layout, but conditions could have been better.

The course lay out was great. It had great views with challenging holes. They were all different from each other and didn't feel like you were playing the same hole over and over. The only negative I have about the course was the green conditions. They were very slow and bumpy. They had a few dead patches in some of the greens. Normally that would turn me off from a course, but the layout was very nice and fun so it kept me interested. It did rain a couple days before so that is why they may not have been cut, but even if they were fresh cut, they would have still been on the slower side.

Always a great day at Callaway!

Even after a heavy rain, the courses in phenomenal condition, the greens were silky, smooth I’ll be at a little slow for this time of year, but still fantastic.

We had a great time, and definitely will be returning!
