Few states can boast a legacy as deep and significant to the game
of golf than Georgia.The Peach State is synonymous with the game’s most revered
individuals and institutions—from Bobby Jones and The Masters, to Sea Island and Augusta
National. And, of course, a commitment to old-fashioned Southern hospitality that can’t be
found anywhere else.
As a long-time steward of the environment, Callaway Gardens has earned its stature as Georgia’s most revered resort
destination. Having been green when green wasn’t cool, Callaway Gardens has
matured into a retreat of scope and sophistication with an array of new
facilities, services and residential options.
The centerpiece of 13,000 acres nestled in the southernmost
foothills of the Appalachians, Callaway Gardens is just an hour southwest of
Atlanta. It was founded by Cason Jewell Callaway in 1952 as a place where man
and nature could co-exist for the good of both. More than a half century later, his retreat continues to offer solace,
inspiration, discovery and now, an unparalleled level of pampering.
The resort’s 150-room Lodge and Spa at Callaway Gardens offers
exquisite luxury and gracious amenities and is a fitting complement to the
resort’s charming Mountain Creek Inn, cottages and villas. Spa Prunifolia at
Callaway Gardens offers treatments infused with herbs, fruits, flowers and
plants—inspired by some grown right in the famous Gardens—to reflect nature’s healing elements. Golfers, in particular, are afforded special attention to ensure the appropriate pre-game stretches and
post-round treatments.
Golf at Callaway Gardens is legendary. Its Mountain View course is
perennially ranked among the country’s best and is the former home of the PGA Tour’s Buick Challenge. The resort’s
practice facility, Twin Oaks Golf Complex, is one of the finest in the
U.S., with more than 26 acres of manicured teeing areas, multiple target greens and a large practice green.
Resort guests rarely want to leave Callaway Gardens, and now there are many reasons to stay
permanently. Thanks to a joint venture with Atlanta-based Cousins Properties,
Callaway Gardens has unveiled a 4,000-acre master-planned community with a
variety of residential options, all in keeping with the environmental standards
and dedication to nature that has defined Callaway Gardens for more than 50
years.
