GARDENS in Pine Mountain offers more golf than any other resort
in the state. Callaway Gardens has a golf course for every game - from a
casual family round to a true test of skill. Four immaculately groomed

of true championship challenge. Crystal lakes and lush landscaping
surround the 63 well-designed holes, which have been ranked among the
best in the nation by Golf Digest and Golf magazine.
Sixty-three holes of golf on three 18-hole and one 9-hole course with
the anchor course being its famous Mountain Course. Measuring over 7,000
yards, it is a true test of golfing skills. Call 1-800-CALLAWAY for more

The
King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort is physical proof of
the owners' attention to preservation of its rich legacy of hospitality.
A keen sense of place and history is so often expressed by those
families who come here, some in their third generation of return visits.
A stroll among shells on the beach, a splash in the pool, a toast
offered in the warmth of The Delegal Room, a quiet moment on a beach
swing. All are moments repeated and enjoyed time and time again here at
this very special kingdom by the sea.
Call 1-800-342-0212 for more
