Golf at Callaway Gardens is nothing less than awe-inspiring. The superbly designed and meticulously maintained courses feature woodland borders and mountain lakes accented by the dramatic beauty of the Gardens. No other golf course in Georgia can deliver this combination of a magnificent natural setting and a rich golf tradition. Founder Cason Callaway believed that ‘playing golf should be a pleasant experience in beautiful surroundings’ … his vision has been surpassed by the Callaway golf experience.

The Cottages at Callaway feature a spacious living/dining area, fully equipped kitchen, screened porch and patio with grill. Each bedroom has a private entrance, two queen beds, and a full bath.

Lake View Course (where we will play on Saturday): Renovated in 2002, this is Callaway's original course, designed by J.B. McGovern and Dick Wilson. Cason Callaway himself provided the inspiration for Lake View's layout. Lake View's challenge lies in its nine water holes and its landscaping of azaleas, dogwoods, and seasonal flowers.

Mountain View Course (where we will play on Sunday, and optional round on Monday): Golfers seeking a real test of their abilities look forward to playing this course, designed by world-famous golf architect Dick Wilson. Tight, tree-lined fairways are characteristic of this true championship course. This course 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.
