Mountain View at Callaway Gardens Resort

The course was packed so the pace of play suffered. Fairways and greens are in good to great shape. The rough is too thick however. A drive just off the fairway is hard to locate without spotters. It felt like what the US Open rough looks like. That’s fine for tournament play but tough for novel golfers enjoying a weekend round of golf.

The course continues to improve with each rainfall we have. The greens are coming in nicely and were rolling fairly well. Tee to Green, the Bermuda is coming in and is lush. The rough is penal as well, so it's almost a necessity to keep your ball in the short grass

Only complaint would be that the cart attendants were not around to assist with unloading my clubs as I had to carry them from the parking lot to the bag drop. Nor did anyone ask me if I'd like to have my clubs cleaned after my round. I always try to tip at least $5 dollars, and had two 5's ready, so someone missed out.

Small gripe and I can live with that. Will definitely be keeping mountain course in my rota.

Greens were firm and rolled well. Could have used a cut, but in good shape. Mountain View is a great layout and one of the best in SW Georgia.

Course was in great shape for this time of the year. Rough was extremely high because of the wetness. this caused the loss of balls and difficulty in finding of balls. Greens were in great shape and very fast . Traps were in great shape for this time of year.

this course is great love playing there. staff is always friendly ,and helpful, would recommend this course to anyone

The Bermuda rough is so thick and rough that it’s fairway or nothing, they need a shorter first cut off the fairway then into rough length, your ball can literally roll inches off the fairway and you WILL NOT FIND IT !!! Mentally it’s troublesome in your golf game when you hit a good shot! Also slows down pace of play big time with folks trying to find their ball.

I love coming to this place. My only critique, is they should cut the rough right now in the fall. If you do happen to get your ball in it you can spent 10 minutes trying to find it. It’s a public course so you’re just holding people up looking for a ball 3 feet off the fairway.

fairway, rough, green, course.. everything was perfwect.
i hope to play here again asap.

Great experience, great conditions, first time playing this course, won’t be the last!

Only issue was, we got there with plenty of time to warm up, and purchased balls in the clubhouse only to find that they didn’t have any. I purchased 3 bags, one for each of us only to find they didn’t have any. The attendant at the cart barn offered to get balls for us and delivered a tube to each of us that consisted of 22 balls each. About 20 balls short of a bag, and so late that we couldn’t even hit them all before our tee time. Kinda frustrating when the cost for 3 players was $196.00. All they had to say was I can’t sell you balls right now, and we would have chipped and putted.

Mountain View is a very good course that plays long with lots of challenges. It is a great and challenging course (has hosted many PGA tour stops during the 1990s) that has seen better days.
The greens were very playable but not great. The greens were a little shaggy and slow, due to the rain over the past few days. Most greens are very small, elevated and heavily bunkered which presents a challenge. Most of the greenside bunkers are large, very deep, and challenging. The fairways were lush and firm but with a few bare spots. Bunkers were crusty and had not been raked recently due to the rain and weather the past few days. Mountain View is a good, challenging course but not in the best condition vs. when I played last year.
The staff, as always, was very friendly. Do yourself a favor and go to Callaway Gardens for the weekend and play both courses. You will enjoy them both Mountain View course is longer and more difficult than Lake View course.

Actually was quite well. Wish the sand traps were a bit dryer ..: fix for that is to stay out of them. Very surprised we felt like we were the only ones there:. Two days prior i put in a request at the proshop & bag drop to have our cart decorated for our 30th anniversary. Unfortunately that was not followed through on… but i later discovered a line to call at CG called CID (consider it done) that I should have used.. noted for next time.

All in all I've played here maybe 5 times and found it to be top shelf only beat by Jekyll Island’s and tied with Barnsley Gardens in Kingston GA.

Very nice course very challenging greens need to be more maintained overall I recommend it

Played both Mountain View and Lake View and they were in excellent condition.
