I’ve been hoodwinked

Drove two hours to play here. Better grass in my backyard and my yard is horrible. $90 and weeds EVERYWHERE. Impossible to red putts longer than 6 ft. Don’t even try to putt on fringe. Just bad. Even the practice green and driving range is infested. 2nd worse course I’ve played in my life. Layout is nice, has potential but the course has been let go. DO NOT PLAY HERE.

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.

Horrible

The course is in terrible shape, nothing is being maintained. The greens are unputtable mud and weeds. Save your money!

Work in progress

We get out to Callaway about once a year, so we are very familiar with these courses. Very disappointed in the overall conditions. The course staff was excellent and knew there were some areas that needed a lot of work. They let us know they are under new ownership and we’re excited to see what’s coming. Looking forward to seeing Callaway return to its glory days!!

This course has a refreashing view.

It was my first experiance at lake course in galaway garden.
As I heard from friend, its view is real healing.
I refreahed my mind and played golf with comfort condition.
If my friends ask me recommendation of golf course, I will recommend lake view course in galaway garden.

Unkept and overpriced

Even with a hot deal, the price to play on crabgrass filled fairways and dead greens is just not ideal. Every green complex apart from 1 had large dead spots and would cause putts to roll horribly most chances. The lake course was amazing last time I went, but this was a MASSIVE letdown.

So bad

You would think that if the course had been neglected this bad, they would at least come off their price a little bit. Seriously the worst greens I’ve ever saw. They are definitely going to lose some customers.

Greens and Tee boxes need serious work

For the price to play. The greens were horrible. Patchy with dirt. Not very “green”. Hard as a rock with no consistency. Most tee boxes were in rough shape or needed to be mowed. Fairways were nice though

Overgrown

Course has been invaded by some type grass that makes the greens bumpy. If you kill the invasive grass on all the course the place would be all brown.

Worst Greens This Year

I have been wanting to play this course all my life, a PGA stop 20 years ago. I Could not believe they completely lost the greens, most greens covered with Poiana, or so thin, like putting on dirt.

Every green had bunkers that were over 6 feet deep, and obviously have not been raked in days.

Poa Annua Galore

Love playing the Mtn View course. The greens have too much poa annua weeds for a resort course, however. Thank goodness for Hot Deal rates.

Love to play at Callaways

We always have a great time playing at Callaways. I do worry that the poa annua is taking over many of the greens. Hope they can be helped as everything else about the course is great!!!!
