Callaway Gardens

Golfers seeking a real test of their abilities look forward to playing 7,057 yard, par 72 Mountain View, designed by world-famous golf architect Dick Wilson. Tight, tree-lined fairways are characteristic of this true championship course.

Mountain View was home to the PGA Tour's Buick Challenge for more than a dozen years. One of Mountain View's most intriguing holes is the par 5, number 15 where the threat of water looms over both tee and approach shots. This hole was ranked as the fourth most difficult par 5 on the Tour by USA Today.

This renowned course has undergone extensive renovations, and the results are dramatic. New white sand bunkers were installed along with new cart paths and new tee boxes, making the play more enjoyable than ever.

From the 7057-yard championship tees, the course rating is 73.7 and slope 139. From the 6630-yard white tees, the course rating is 71.9 and slope 134. From the 5789-yard green tees, the course rating is 68.2 and slope 126. From the 4883-yard forward tees, the course rating is 69.4 and slope 120.

Recently renovated, 18-hole Lake View is Callaway's original course, designed by J.B. McGovern and Dick Wilson. Cason Callaway himself provided the inspiration for Lake View's layout. Mr. Callaway believed that playing golf should be a pleasant experience in beautiful surroundings.
Lake View's challenge lies in its nine water holes and its landscaping of azaleas, dogwoods and seasonal flowers.


The dramatic renovations to this course include new bunkers, TifEagle greens, new cart paths and improved landscaping. For those who have not played Lake View recently, you'll find the changes quite pleasing.

The 6,031-yard par 70 course is well known for hole Number 10 with its island tee and serpentine bridge over Mountain Creek Lake to the green in front of the original clubhouse.

From regular tees, the course rating is 68.6 with a slope rating of 123. From ladies' tees, the course rating is 71.1 and the slope rating is 121.
