Callaway Gardens GC - Mountain View Course


Callaway Gardens GC - Mountain View Course
Pine Mountain, Georgia
 
The Mountain View course at Callaway Gardens was, at the time I played it, in very good condition.  It was, in essence, a good reason to stay another day at the resort.  Here are some photographic shots I took while playing.  Don't ask about my golf shots.

Callaway Gardens GC,

Callaway Gardens GC (Lake View Course)

This is one of the magnificent courses at Callaway Gardens.  It would have been even more beautiful if I had been there in mid-spring rather than late winter.  My photo essay of this course follows.

A very good course.  I played it in early March and it was much to cold to fully enjoy the layout.  My tee time was 7:30 a.m., however, due to frost I didn't get to tee off until 9:15 a.m.  I would not hesitate to go back and play it again in better weather.

Callaway Gardens

Callaway Gardens

Callaway Gardens is a superb oasis located in Pine Mountain, Georgia. It features miles & miles of trails through flower gardens, the Sibley Horticultural Center, and a couple of outstanding golf courses.  If you like beautiful landscapes, colorful flowers, great accommodations, excellent food and wonderful golf, this is the place for you.  So, here's my photo essay on Callaway Gardens.
