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.

Beautiful Day at Callaway Gardens

The course is in great shape. The rough is dryer than the summer months so drives off of the fairway will not penalize you as much. Lots of players on the course so the pace of play was slower than usual.

Fun Course

Have had friends play at Callaway but this was the 1st time I was able to. Played with a friend I hadn't seen in several years. We played tees at about 6500 yrds which is a little long for us and added to the challenge. Good variety of holes. Didn't feel like you were playing the same hole over again. Thought the greens were on the small side. The greens are still recovering from being aerated and could be bumpy in places. Would play again.

Beautiful setting

Calloway golf courses have great potential. Mountain course today was a 4 of 5. Positives- fairways were in great shape. Roughs were very tough - difficult at times to find my ball. Pace of play was great. New carts. Pro shop has new merchandise. Only negative was a couple of greens need work.

Calloway Gardens and golf courses are a great place to visit and play golf. Courses have improving the past couple of years.

Played behind a sixsome, rough needs to be cut

Nice course in great shape. Played alone and lost several balls right by the green in the thick Bermuda rough. Rough should be cut some if you can’t find balls 2 feet from the green. Pace was good until I got behind a sixsome who ignored I was there. Quit after 11 holes.

Stay out of the rough !

I enjoyed Mountain View . The layout was challenging and played longer than Lake View. That is why I played the course. My buddy was struggling and hit in the rough a lot. He lost about 12 balls due to very high roughs. The rough on all the holes weee very high and if you hit even a foot in the rough - good luck finding it. But, we knew that going in with all the reviews about the rough. Bottom line - I will play Mountain View again soon

( my buddy might not ). Ha.

Staff should be ashamed

Weeds on tee boxes, burnt up greens, loose every ball in the rough. Not a fun course the way the staff has let the course go. They should be ashamed to charge $90 to play the course in the condition it currently is in. I will not return.

If you want US Open conditions with ANY shot off the fairway by inch’s in which you will never find your ball this is your track… absurd- we are low double digit players and could not find shots that weren’t in fairway or on green complex … no fun- cut the grass

Thick Rough and Lots of Golfers Impact Pace of Play

The course was packed so the pace of play suffered. Fairways and greens are in good to great shape. The rough is too thick however. A drive just off the fairway is hard to locate without spotters. It felt like what the US Open rough looks like. That’s fine for tournament play but tough for novel golfers enjoying a weekend round of golf.

Disappointing

The course was pretty. Great layout, fairways and rough were great. Bunkers and greens were ATROCIOUS. The greens were some of the worst greens I have ever played on. They were not well maintained at all… looks like someone took a shovel tip and just annihilated the greens and you can tell they haven’t been rolled in forever. The course was worth the $80, but the greens were worth about $20. If you’re looking for the experience then this course is one to mark off the bucket list. If you just want to play a round of golf then I’d definitely go elsewhere, cause you will just leave frustrated. I will probably come back to play the other course in hopes that it is better, but it’s definitely not a course I’m gonna bring a group of friends to for a out of town golf trip.

PGA caliber track

The course continues to improve with each rainfall we have. The greens are coming in nicely and were rolling fairly well. Tee to Green, the Bermuda is coming in and is lush. The rough is penal as well, so it's almost a necessity to keep your ball in the short grass

Only complaint would be that the cart attendants were not around to assist with unloading my clubs as I had to carry them from the parking lot to the bag drop. Nor did anyone ask me if I'd like to have my clubs cleaned after my round. I always try to tip at least $5 dollars, and had two 5's ready, so someone missed out.

Small gripe and I can live with that. Will definitely be keeping mountain course in my rota.
