Lake View at Callaway Gardens Resort
Rating Snapshot
About
Nestled in the southernmost foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Callaway Gardens was created in 1952 to preserve the local environment, from the native wetlands to the abundant forests of mature trees. Golf at Callaway Gardens is a unique experience in that you'll be completely submerged in nature and surrounded by wildlife. The resort’s two golf courses, Lake View and Mountain View, are challenging enough for avid golfers but they are scenic and playable enough to appeal to players of all skill levels. The Lake View Course is the original layout. It offers a slightly more player-friendly round with wider fairways and generous greens. There are more water holes on this golf course, nine total, including five holes that are routed along Mountain Creek Lake. The signature par-3 10th hole features an intimidating island green.

Thanksgiving fun
Played my second eighteen hole round at 1:45 and finished just before dusk. 4 hour round on the nose. The lake view course is my favorite of the courses and is very short only a par 70. The highlightes of the round was playing 36 holes and the par 3's were great. The par 4's were short and was a very score able course. I played the blues which were pretty short but it didn't really madder I was mostly going to have fun. The clubhouse and practice facilities were nice. The guy in the clubhouse needs to get praised for is excellent work and helpfulness. I loved both the course here and will be here if back in the pine valley area.
Not bad
The conditions of the greens were not perfect, but a far sight better, than Conditions this time last year. I love playing this course and for the price I get on golf now, it is a sure bet
Cart path only
Wet conditions. Greens slow. Good condition for recent rain. Enjoyed the game!
Dog Track
Complete waste of time and money. Greens are in terrible shape. Very disappointed.
Terrible greens, not much grass.
I've played this course several times. Greens are terrible, such a shame. Scalped fringes due to equipment and poaannua in the greens is real bad with some nothing but po. Fairways don't have much grass , hardpan and dry. Tee boxes are in saf shape. Mostly sand. Bunkers are a mess with several showing the underlaying. Just a shame!!
Course
We actually played Mountain View at Callaway Gardens. Lake View was closed due to recent rains. The staff was awesome.
Beautiful scenic course
Not crowded.
Plentiful wildlife including deer.
Greens were well-maintained.
Challenging Bermuda grass if miss the fairway.
Challenging sand bunkers surrounding greens.
Therefore, I recommend you play here.
You'll enjoy it.
Expected more
Tee boxes were not very good
Greens were super soft and slow
Fairways rough
Got this on Hot Deal so wasn’t too disappointed although I did expect a little more from Callaway and the pictures posted.
great day for golf
Tees, Fairways, and rough was in great condition. Greens were beer than the last time we played here. Needed to be cut that day but in good condition. Pace was great for 10 holes but was slower after that but played in 3 1/2 hours...
