The Lake View Course at Callaway Gardens was actually unplayable due to wet conditions so they moved all tee times and golfers to the Mountain Course which created quite a slow down and a very congested course.
Despite the slow play we enjoyed the round which took almost 5-1/2 hrs to complete.
Callaway Gardens should have advised that the LakeView course was unplayable and not allowed tee times. They did their best to accommodate all of the golfers but it just created a painfully slow day.

Great day for visitors

My niece was in town from Florida for memorial weekend and had always wanted to play the lake course. She is a decent player and was very satisfied with her experience. The pro was very cordial and helpful when we checked in. Starter was friendly and informative and got us out a bit early to get in front of a large group that was actually scheduled ahead of ours. Course is in wonderful condition with greens rolling true but not crazy fast. Overall great experience which I highly recommend and intend to enjoy again! Well worth the price of the hot deal.

Terrible Condition - DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!

Have played Callaway Gardens numerous times over the last few years. So when an early tee time (7:30 am) was available, I scheduled our weekend four some to play. Arrived on-site and everything (bag drop off, parking, carts, check-in) was normal. Went to the practice putting green and was shocked at the condition. The green was completely infested with Pia Annua to the point where puts bounced all of the place. Went to the 1st tee to tee off. The Marshall shared the course was under new management and the course was not a prestige as it’s former days. He was telling the truth. The course was infested with Poa Annua and other various types of weeds. The greens had not been mowed. The grass height and Poa Annua made it impossible to put anything without a full shoulder turn. Even then the ball would bounce in every direction and end up short. The tee box markers were placed awkwardly to make golfers tee off in a six foot area. The bunkers were hard pan. Not the normal fluffy sand. The fairways and rough were infested with weeds. Not the normal plush Bermuda grass. Basically the overall course quality would not stack up to a $30 municipal course. I highly recommend not playing at Callaway Gardens!!! And a note for Callaway Gardens new management, please get your two courses back in prestige shape!!!

Lakeview course was closed, no communication

Got to the pro shop and was told Lakeview course was closed due to rain. We were able to switch to Mountain course, but this was not communicated at all before driving over an hour from Atlanta. Not sure what we would have done if the Mountain course was fully booked. Fuzzy and muddy greens, but that is understandable given recent rain/season.

It is so difficult to play golf.

I booked 8:10 lake course 3 persons.
But I can't have 18 courses round. So I stopped the round after 9 holes. Because the ground was so wet and all holes
is cart path only. It is so difficult to play golf.

Father & Son Game

The night before lots of rain from the Hurricane, so first few holes the course really wet, as the day went on it misted rain, so soggy day. The course is beautiful and plays well. We only saw a couple other groups. Very playable with some easy and tough driving holes. Great time!

Outstanding

Played the first tee time in the morning at 8:00 so there was no pace of play issues. All of the course staff that I interacted with during the three days I played there were outstanding. The club house is very well stocked and the attendants were very friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was also above average with great service. This is the "easier" of the two courses on property but it is still challenging with great views of the lake in the middle holes. If you are looking for tough , play the mountain course, for a very enjoyable day play this gem. Highly recomend.

Open Course

You start with some tree lined, although not tight, fairways and then move to a much more open layout. It's a short course. Teed off with less than driver on several holes. Smaller greens same as the Mountain course, and a lot less sand traps than the Mountain course. Played the first 8 holes in 1.5 hours and the last 10 holes in a little over 3 hours. Caught up to 2 foursomes who were not in any rush and didn't let anyone play through. I was by myself with a twosome in front and a 4-some behind. Had to wait on every hole from 9 on.

Nice course, could use a few improvements

Needs at least one water station and a restroom other than a portalet. Better signage (directions) would also be a plus.

Had a great day

As always, the course is very pretty and well maintained.
Greens could be better, but grass has life cycle. I don't criticize them. It is my luck. The grass cutting crew was behind us, so naturally it was hard to find the balls especially when you hit them into the rough. Having said all this, my wife and I had a great day out here. Thank you.

Lake View

Challenging course, thick Bermuda rough and tight fairways, if ball goes 2’ off fairway good luck finding it!! Greens were okay no fringe went from fairway cut to green, lots of unrepaired ball marks unfortunately and greens were really bumpy.. good for a GolfNow hot deal but would never pay full price here though..

Poor Greens and Rough

Played the Lake course once in August and again mid September. Greens super slow and bumpy both times. And any ball off the fairway is 50% lost, unless you step on it. Rough is only 2-3” long, but is too thin to support a ball. Definitely not fair to only slightly mis-hit balls. Disappointing for what I thought was a great layout and resort course.

Proshop sho and cart staff were great!
