Good layout

It's a nice course. Green is in progress to recover. Fairway is good. Good value for hot deal price.

Great layout and amenities

I really enjoy playing at Callaway when I can redeem hot deals through GolfNow. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the pro shop has many options of food/merchandise. Course upkeep can sometimes leave some to be desired, with bunkers sometimes having the lining exposed and greens sometimes having noticeable imperfections and bumps. With that being said, the chance to play this course at around $30-35 still makes it great value for the price. Will be playing here again.

This course was great for the family.

We had a group of 4 plus 1 junior. The staff was accommodating with our tee time as one player was running a little late. We played Lakeview, and it was challenging to find hole one. They said to follow the blue arrows, but we found ourselves searching for them. It took us a while to get started because of this.

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.

LAKEVIEW @ CALLAWAY GARDENS

The course was in pretty good shape. I got through 10 holes before the storm hit. I was an individual playing and had two groups of 4 ahead of me that would not let me play through. The would finish up and wait for the other group to finish before tee in off on the next hole. I gave play this course numerous times good course to play

Could be better

I Remember playing the Callaway courses in the early 2000's and thought it couldn't get any better. Well dont show up thinking they're in the same shape because theyre not. For whatever reason......probably money.

The Lakeview course is fun, fairlly easy and is in decent shape. On the positive side the fairways and rough were in pretty decent shape. There are some weed issues though. On the negative side the greens are decent/fair at best. They were mowed but there is a poana/weed problem on a majority of them. For whatever reason the tee boxes weren't mowed. This led to high grass so your teed up ball barely hovers above the grass line. Some of the bunkers need more sand and for someone to get in them and kill the numerous weeds that are sprouting up in them.

I really enjoyed my round and i will be back.....just know that it could be better.

Has potential but needs a LOT of work

For the money this course was just not cutting it. Grass on the tee boxes was super long, the difference between fairway and rough was minimal, and the greens were in bad shape. There are some cool holes and scenery on the lakeside is nice but in order for this course to get better they will need to seriously invest in course management. Do not see myself playing here again until changes are made.

mountain view

mountain view course was played because the lakeview course had a small tournament.

tees were ok

fairways and rough were perfect.

most greens had some bad spots so we had to move the putt to a better location on the green.

most greens were in execellent shape when moved.

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!
