THE CALLAWAY CONNECTION
As unique as Callaway Gardens itself is, the program that has been created to realize the concept Cason and Virginia Callaway had in mind
when they created the Gardens, the concept of connecting, is the Callaway Gardens Connection. The Callaway Gardens Connection is not
a traditional club in any sense. It isn’t just about golf, tennis, or traditional club events. It Connects members with other members, it
Connects members with great recreational facilities, it Connects members with unrivaled cultural events and the opportunity to learn for a
lifetime. For additional information, email [email protected] or call 1.855.745.4526.
