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
Unkept and overpriced
Even with a hot deal, the price to play on crabgrass filled fairways and dead greens is just not ideal. Every green complex apart from 1 had large dead spots and would cause putts to roll horribly most chances. The lake course was amazing last time I went, but this was a MASSIVE letdown.
Greens and Tee boxes need serious work
For the price to play. The greens were horrible. Patchy with dirt. Not very “green”. Hard as a rock with no consistency. Most tee boxes were in rough shape or needed to be mowed. Fairways were nice though
Worst Greens This Year
I have been wanting to play this course all my life, a PGA stop 20 years ago. I Could not believe they completely lost the greens, most greens covered with Poiana, or so thin, like putting on dirt.
Every green had bunkers that were over 6 feet deep, and obviously have not been raked in days.
Not good
Greens were terrible ! I get it with the change from winter to spring ! But it’s just a 25.00 course right now
Poor condition!
Course has never been in this condition. Greens we’re basically unplayable. Over priced for the shape of the course. Hard to believe there was a PGA event there at one time. Great layout……..SAD!
Poa Annua Galore
Love playing the Mtn View course. The greens have too much poa annua weeds for a resort course, however. Thank goodness for Hot Deal rates.
Waste of money!
Decided to play here on our way back from Grand National to the ATL airport. What a mistake. Tees were sparse fairways very marginal in many spots and greens were awful (no grass). And all this for $97. What a disappointment. Not recommended at all
Last Time !
Me and golfing buddy drove 55 minutes to play Mountain View. There were a lot of vacant tee times available, that should have been my sign. Got there right at tee time due to GPS taking us the scenic route, so no practice balls. Check in was quick, we were greeted at the bag drop off - then we were told the Lake View course was closed and everyone was playing the Mountain View course. Brutally slow….. Belive it or not, this was not our biggest disappointment. THE GREENS were horrible. Mosly dirt / mud because it had rained a few days before. Was not even worth the Hot Deal price. I will admit, most rest of the couse was satisfactory- mowed rough, fairways nice, bunkers ok. But the greens were as I said - HORRIBLE! Played this course last year and enjoyed it. I will never go back.
Not worth the rack money at full price.
We managed to get a hot deal so value suited the course. This "resort" course is anything but that. No range balls, no real putting green that we saw. We might have missed it since there was no real direction from the desk attendant as we seemed more of a distraction from watching golf than providing any info on the course. Course was in fair shape give the time of year. It's not a bad course but just a lackluster experience given the description of a former PGA TOUR resort course.
Great course, still some issues with the greens
Mountain View is a great course. The staff is very friendly and the inside restaurant is great. The only negative is that a few of the greens still have some issues with Poana grass, especially the 18th green. It's something they've been fighting for over a year now. The good news is that they cut the greens short and roll them, so they are still very quick. And with the exception of the 18th green (which is very bumpy because of the Poana), the rest of the greens roll smoothly. Other than that, the fairways and rough are in great shape for this time of year, as are the bunkers.
Former PGA course
It’s getting back now that it’s been bought and money is being put in. Bryan in the pro shop is the nicest guy there is. A real test as all the greens are surrounded by sand traps. Green size and undulations will also test your game.
