Lake View at Callaway Gardens Resort

Callaway always gives me and my wife a relaxing round. Well maintained and nice scenery.
There were many maintenance people working hard to cut the grass and rake the bunkers. We lost some balls hit into the rough and even on the fairways. You will play on the freshly cut grass. Our routine is to visit the Lodge and Spa for refreshments/foods after a round. We recommend you visit this place. The staff will greet you, welcome you, and are willing to make you feel good.

No range balls available to warm up before round. Some tee boxes and traps need attention. Greens slow and some need repair. Some under repair but question how they will turn out.

Finished round and went to club house to grab a bite and drink. One server was talking to a foursome and then left, end of shift. Waited, no one came to wait on us after 5 to 7 minutes. Ended up leaving.

Seems the little things and course maintenance continues to lack. Enjoy playing course but a resort course should be a little better.

We Played Lake View Course today!
I would give a lower rating with the Two Exceptions of Charlie and the new Superintendent being brought onboard very recently from Cape Coral Florida. I use to play the course they came from and it was an Awesome Track, so I definitely believe in them both to make the needed changes to this course. Everything on and around the course looks run down and not kept up. there was trash in may areas that we picked up out of courtesy, but should be attended to by the staff routinely. all of the grass needed cutting, many of tee boxes were overgrown, and we did take into consideration the aeration, which was probably done too late into the end of summer. Crab grass plugs on many of the greens and the edges of the greens were horrible and not manicured.
It was very disappointing to see a fabulous course going by the way side for the money that is currently being charged. The Champions Grille was a Major Highlight for this Golf Outing. Food is and was spectacular and the services was also GREAT!!!! Thank you all.
Charlie and the new Guy, Make it Happen Yall. We are all counting on you both to Make Callaway Golf courses Great Again!!!!

This course was fantastic once upon a time. It’s a wonderful and fun layout. Now there is wormholes all over the greens and they don’t cut them. The greens are the same as a fringe on a well manicured course. The tee boxes are unleveled and the grass is as long as the rough. They have completely given up on the bunkers and have just left them in disrepair. There is random tall weeds in the fairway as well. Down the street in Columbus you can play better maintained courses for half the price. Shouldn’t be that way and I hope they put some effort into the course.

Tee boxes need mowing and weed control
Grass around greens have a lot of weeds and your lie may or may not be good
Greens ran okay, my putting did not
Bunkers need some up keep and rake, like hitting off of clay.
Nice little course requiring good shot placement on several dog legs to give good approach angle. No driver needed to play this course except on the 2 par fives.

I'm wondering what is happening at Callaway Gardens? The last two trips that we have made have been increasingly disappointing.
The course conditions have dropped considerably in the last three or four months!
The lakes are all down very low and not at all appealing for a course named the "Lakes"
Today there were no range balls available to warm up! Someone is not doing their job(s) properly. Last time I provided a review I indicated that the experience felt different and this time it definitely was different. This will be our last trip to Pine Mountain until we see that the positive reviews have returned. Its unfortunate because it was always fun to experience the differences in the two courses. It's just not worth the drive at this time.

Lots of hay left behind after mowing. Lots of tee boxes are in bad shape. This course use to be in tremendous shape.

This course used to be spoken about with reverence. Callaway gardens was synonymous with pristine golf. No longer. The course could be good with just some regular maintenance. Everywhere the grass was too long. Greens, fairways, tee boxes. Grass was growing into the bunkers. It screamed of neglect and disinterest. Hoping this place can make a turnaround.

Played during a healing period so the course was gorgeous but greens a little slow. Lake View is a great design and fun course to play. Recommend for any golfer.

I'm hoping it was due to recent rainy weather in the area, but the fairways were so long most of the time you couldn't tell if you were in the fairway or rough. Overall course management seems to have slipped, hoping it is better next time we visit.

Course was an overall pretty good condition, although the greens needed to be Mowed , so that your drive would roll out a little further, and you wouldn’t catch a flier lie
