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.

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!

Worth it

It’s great to see the course in great shape again. A few spots on some of the greens but overall very good. A bit of a hike from metro Atlanta but you’ll be glad you went.

Course is improving

A new course superintendent was hired 2 months ago. Improvements are being made. Overall rating is because of the setting and surroundings. Weeds are being managed, rough mowed, green fringes are much better, and some new sand added. Greens are slow but in better shape than this spring. They need to work on the Poa annua It still is not a value at the rack rate. Competition in area has better value at rack rate. GolfNow special rate is of value. Food is great at Champions.

Instructions needed to get around

Staff did not explain-Where is the range, how do I get there, where is #1 Tee box/#10?

Could have easily been solved by, "follow the red/green/blue arrows, which we noticed after the fact. We felt like we were a burden by being there. Would not recommend again.

Not a resort quality course

With what Callaway gardens is you would expect this to be an elaborate course, but it wasn’t. It was an OK layout with a fair assortment of challenges, guarded greens, plenty of length, etc. Butt there were some glaring issues that take alway for me. The course sorta felt unkempt. No real separation between fairway and short rough with not being able to tell fairway from rough from the tee. The tee boxes were so long! I was hitting grass on every driver. The greens were all over the place, but all not ideal. Either the grass was long and slow and hard to read or the greens were just completely trashed with hard packed, cracked dirt and hardly any grass. I just expect greatness for a course on a resort like this, but this course was no different than my local muni.

Shadow of former self

I was so excited to play here knowing they used to play pga events here a couple decades ago. Arriving to the first tee everything looked great, but hole 2 and onward the fairways were longer than rough at most courses. The greens were terrible. Some needed cut and were like putting in fairway, most were dead or dying, cracked, over sanded. Just a mess honestly. I've played courses for 15 dollars that were much better.
