Disappointed Again

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.

Staff was very friendly but definitely short handed. Trying to do to much with too little. At the turn we waited in the pro shop for nearly 20 minutes, waiting to purchase refreshments.

Can’t believe that it’s taken me so long to experience a round at Steeple Chase.
I throughly enjoyed our round today. Certainly look forward to the next opportunity to play again.
The greens are certainly a challenge being so severely sloped.
I was delighted with the layout and the challenge of the course.
Great play!!

The last time I played at Woodmont the carts were in much better condition and had GPS monitors included, why have they been discontinued? The Beverage cart only started at 12:00 PM when we were finishing our round. The concession at the Turn was closed with no chance to purchase a beverage and the water station on the back nine at hole 12 or 13 did not work - no water was available
The course is gorgeous and in excellent condition but the lack of amenities took away from a perfect experience. It was still a great play!

The greens and tee boxes were very disappointing. We’ve been coming here for the past three years and this has been the first time I’ve been disappointed. I think we’ll check the reviews closer and wait until later in the summer to see if they come back to normal.

Unfortunately the tee boxes and greens were in very poor condition. Weather conditions must have been detrimental to the Poa Annua grass. Hopefully they will recover with time.

The Cart GPS is Detrimental to pace of play

The Current GPS system on the carts is poor at best!
On the initial hole there is a short blurb about the indication of restricted zones highlighted by a dotted yellow border. That Is The Only Hole That This Appeared On.! The rest of the time you have No Idea of a restricted area until you are in it! No signage! Nothing!
Several times it gave the indication to stay off new sod or newly seeded areas and that was certainly not visible!
The only aid the GPS provides is the yardage to the hole, front back and center! Nothing Else! Instead of aiding golfers and improving the pace of play it works as a hinderance and slows down the pace. The 14th hole is cart path only now! But there are no signs and the cart doesn't indicate any restrictions until you have entered the restricted area.
The GPS is frustrating and of no help. Great idea but most certainly doesn't meet your expectations. .

Evidently HB is in the process of remodeling their clubhouse. They currently can't offer any off course food or beverages.

The new smart carts have killed the pace of play on the course! There needs to be more information available on the cart restrictions so those that aren’t familiar don’t slow the play like it was yesterday. I like CL CC but have never experienced a 5 1/2 hour round there before.
Restricting holes 14 and 16 to cart path only with minimal signage is a really bad move. There were Four foursomes on the 14th when we pulled up. It was slow all day but that was ridiculous!
I’ll give it another try when the weather is better but if it is slow the next time, unfortunately I will pass for the future.
I hope yesterday was just a one time bad day. A course ranger may be necessary.

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.
