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!
Great course
In good shape and the greens were about 90% after being plugged. Overall great value with the Hot Deal!
Like the course; could have been better
The pace of play was really bad, with a huge group of guys -- even fivesomes in front of us. It was exercise in patience. That was frustrating. The course is tough for me; I find the sand far too often for my taste. Greens were really bouncy and seemed to need to be rolled. But I'm not a greenskeeper.
Seen Better
I typically don't give Fair or Poor reviews on Golf courses but I have to say that Callaway Garden's Lake View course was a tremendous disappointment. When I booked the course, it did not mention the Greens were being Aerated nor the overall condition of the course.
We arrived and checked in at Callaway and the attendant Brian was accommodating and friendly throughout the check-in process. There was no mention that the Greens on the Lake View course had been Aerated and the overall condition of the Fairways, Tee Boxes, and 1st Cut off Fairway was not in good shape.
We noticed that when we arrived at the First Tee, there was a group of 4 somes lined up, well to our surprise the Mountain View course was closed, and they had everyone playing on the Lake View course. No one mentioned this information at all.
As we Tee'd off and made our way to the Greens, we discovered that they had just been Aerated. After playing RTJ's Grand National courses (which are in Awesome shape) I had the same expectation that Callaway wouldn't disappoint, but boy was I WRONG. I don't mind playing a course that's been Aerated if given proper notice and the fee to play the course is Reduced obviously.
We contacted the Pro Shop and were given the option of receiving a free 9 Hole Round or coming back to the Pro Shop to receive a Refund and find somewhere else to play. We decided to cut our losses and turned around on the 2nd Hole to go get our Refund.
I'm not sure if I'll ever come back to play Callaway as this has left a very sour taste in my mouth. Brian at the Pro Shop was definitely great to work with, but it would've been an enjoyable experience if Callaway was Open and Upfront about the Maintenance and Upkeep of the course.

Just punched the greens
Played here many times. Never seen the greens in worse condition. Maybe they will survive
Aerated greens
Greens were freshly aerated and putting was challenging at best. Fairways were not bad but the first cut was very high which requires more time to find your ball. Overall good day. Nice course when it’s well maintained.
Callaway Gardens should be ashamed
The staff has lost the course. There was cut grass in bunkers, weeds on tee boxes, and the rough was so high...you would lose your ball if you were just a foot off the fairway. This destroyed the pace of play. The only reason this round didn’t take 6+ hours is because others must have gotten word that the course is way overcharging because not many people were playing that day at All. I would save money and go play the immaculate bull creek in Columbus if in the area.
Course stole from me
Course tells us they are closing for lightning and that we can’t wait for it to pass.
No lightning in area, wasn’t even raining, just typical southern afternoon mist.
Staff just wanted to go home early. No rain check given.
Will not return.
Do yourself a favor and pass on this one. Greens were trash as well.
in good shape
Course in good shape, prefer the front 9 to the back 9. Plays long, greens good.
Great shape
The course and the Greens were in great shape. Was not to crowded and pace of play was just over 3 hrs.
Great day for golf
Pace of play was terrific. fairways were in good shape for this time of year. A little high but reasonable since we had no rain for 3 weeks. All Poa on the greens was gone since maintenance verticut all the greens but they putted really well since they were probably rolled, Staff was excellent and gave us plenty of water with ice.
I’ll be back
Good Course Needs Grass
Played here many times. Afraid I might have bent some irons just taking normal divots. Fairways are too low and all lies are tight. Greens rolling good and hold soft shots. Staff are great especially Johnny at the fore caddie.
