Great layout

The greens could be in better shape on both courses. But overall the conditions are great! The staff and service is top notch! Great employees who care!

Never again

I paid $80 for the worst conditions I've seen this course in 25 years. I've not been to Callaway gardens in approximately 6 months but a friend of mine told me a few months back they were repairing the greens. Imagine my surprise when I went out Saturday to find the greens were just as bad as they have been over the last couple of years. My friend and I were also charged $80 a piece for terrible conditions. If it were not for the layout and The prestige of hosting a tour event in the late 90s and early 2000s, I would not even consider this golf course at all. Save your money and drive another half hour south to Opelika and play Robert Trent jones. Callaway gardens and the mountain course are just not worth it. Certainly not an $80 golf course. I would not pay more than 30 or $40 at the most for those conditions.

Lakeview at Callaway Gardens

The course is always good. Had to search some for my golf balls because of leaves. They usually keep the leaves blown off the fairways and rough. Wasn't a big issue, just a little time consuming playing by yourself

Pleased to See Improvements

This was a wonderful course to play several years ago, then course conditions declined over the past few years.

I’m pleased to see the course back in very good condition.

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.

Enjoyable, always

My wife and I always have the most pleasant round at this club. No starters, marshals, or manner-less players. It's all up to universal common sense and courtesy of the players. The Lakeview course was in the periodic maintenance phase, so if you are very serious about the scores, this may not be the best time to play. Nonetheless, we had a wonderful time.

Lake view course

Tee boxes in good shape, fairways very nice, rough was solid, bunkers were in good shape…… the greens not so much. They are working to repair them but they are just not in good shape at the moment. I would play again anytime though because the course is beautiful and the greens are the final piece of the puzzle.
