CALLAWAY RESORT & GARDENS

The rolling foothills of Georgia's Pine Mountain create natural elevation changes that designer Joe Lee exploited masterfully, with several holes tumbling downhill through corridors of towering pines and hardwoods. Water threatens on seven holes, including the signature par-3 15th where a pristine lake guards a peninsula green that demands both precision and nerve. This mountain layout rewards strategic thinking over raw power, with generous fairways that tighten considerably around well-protected, undulating greens.
