Why Pine Mountain
Woods, water and room to breathe.
Pine Mountain feels far from the city without the flight. Callaway Resort & Gardens covers about 2,500 acres of gardens, lakes and woodland.
Nature does the programming. A 10-mile bike trail links the gardens, Robin Lake has a white sand beach, and the 23-mile Pine Mountain Trail runs through F. D. Roosevelt State Park next door.
It is simple for Atlanta teams. Everyone can drive down in the morning and be in a session by lunch.
We bring teams to Pine Mountain when they want a reset in the woods without the cost or time of a big trip.

Why we bring teams here.
