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.

First Impressions

Course layout is very good. They need a Marshall to keep resort golfers moving . We skipped one hole to get around 2 groups - we finished 5 holes in front of that group - we played the back nine in well under 2 hours after a 2 and a half front nine. Rough is tough , you want to keep it on the fairway - ball is hard to find in the rough- Greens are ok - you need to make sure you are playing the right tees to make this enjoyable.

Mountain View.

They have done a lot of work on the course to have the greens in good shape. The sod is almost all the way in now.

Only 9 holes

Out of the 36 holes that they advertise only 9

Holes were open to play! They don’t even let u know York after u pay, the course was a long jam and decided to leave after playing 3 holes in 75 minutes! No apologies, no marshall or anyone to regulate pace of play. I had an 11 tee time and was stuck behind guys that made the turn on hole number 9 and started off again on hole 1 instead of hole 10

Upkeep is going downhill and Front 9 closed no notice until Labor Day

I drove 2 hours each way with my son to play the Mountain View course to find out the front 9 has been closed since Jun and will reopen Labor Day. I typically go to Callaway to play both courses on the same day it make the drive worth wild and the second course is only $35 extra. I failed to look to see the Lakeside is closed on Monday, on me. But to get to the clubhouse and they inform me you are playing the back 9 twice is really sucked after that drive. The closure is not on the Course website either. The upkeep and maintenance is not up to previous years. Awful sod patching on greens, some of them are depressions and not flat with surrounding. Grass growing in the hard packed sand traps. The lake edges are now 3-4 foot high weeds and not cut anymore even in the fairway where you are playing over them. The tee boxes not freshly cut. Spots on the greens of clumps of weeds growing. Water leaks on a bunch of holes also. I have played here once a year most years for 25 years and this was the worst condition even thru past summer droughts.

Callaway is always our favorite

The course was undergoing aeration, naturally the greens and fairways were punched. We had to play the back 9 twice.

The staff was always courteous and nice. Despite all the inconvenience and heat, we enjoyed a leisurely and relaxing round.

Resort layout, rough greens

The greens need some work, but playable. it does appear that they may be improving. Other than that, the course layout is beautiful. I’d play it again for a hot-deal price. I think you’d be satisfied, unless you’re a touring professional.

Not as advertised!

Unfortunately, I booked the hot deals prior to reading reviews and regretted my decision! As others indicated, the course is in rough shape and over priced, even at the discounted rate via hot deals. Tee box wasn’t kept and grass as high as the rough. Bunkers were filled with weeds with compact ‘sand.’ Small greens with dirt patches everywhere! Save your money and go elsewhere. $80 regular weekend green fees is highway robbery. I will not return!

Save your money

The greens were horrible. The Fairways were maintained decently. They should close one course and really put an effort into the other.
