Callahan Golf Links in Waleska possesses a rich history of more than 150 years of farming and family ownership. Before being converted into a golf course, the site functioned as a farm from the Civil War until World War II. When creating the course, the natural beauty of the landscape was carefully preserved. As its name would suggest, the layout is a true links design with carefully placed pot bunkers and thick cuts of rough. Water is barely present but there are plenty of other challenges throughout that will quickly make you forget that fact. It is gentle enough for beginners but the back tees will challenge more experienced players. Golfers can also work on their short game on the chipping and putting greens or warm up on the driving range. The affordable rates make Callahan Golf Links an excellent value.

Fun course

Fun course. Lots of interesting holes. Whites play siper short so if you trying to decide between blue and white tees, I suggest going with blues. Greens were fine even though the website warned they were burned up a bit. T boxes definitely need some attention . Starter was super nice and got us out early to get in front of a group of 9. Overall the “links” name checks out. Definitely not your traditional course but still fun and challenging. For tge cost, it’s a great value.

Course

About four holes are cart path only. Couple of greens have missing grass on parts of them. Greens are rolling good. Play with someone that has played there before to help you navigate the course. Played the course many times.

Good for Practice

Fairways in good shape. Greens fine except a few bare spots and minimal Poa. Some tee boxes were rough.

We weren’t happy having a 5-some in front of us.

Not worth the price

Always liked the layout here, but conditions are always iffy. Many tee boxes are in rough shape, and some of the greens showed the burnout from the pre-emergent (did get the note when booking). Having said that, you're charging a premium price for a course that is not even close to being in premium shape. Not sure I'll be returning any time soon.

Not bad

First time playing this course. The front nine was in much better shape especially the greens. Several greens on the back were eroded (less than 2%) but they plug the bare spots as dirt/sand was coming out. Fairways were growing in but honestly need some love as there were rock hard areas on some holes with little grass. You can tell they are working on sections of the course to address shade issues by clearing trees. Really enjoyed the layout but pace of play took a turn for the worse on the back nine. Overall for the price I was good with playing here.

Needs new ownership..

I live right down the street and play this / Lake Arrowhead as my primary courses. I've been playing it for many years and while the course design is very good, the mostly poor conditioning of the course / practice area, lack of attentive marshals and the curious decisions around course improvements make me believe that course management either has a bottom dollar budget or just doesn't know what they're doing. A switch of ownership / management (a pipe dream I know) could do wonders as the golf course design is interesting/fun and there is plenty of room for improvement that would make this a stand-out course in the area.

Beautiful course.

I love the layout and the views on this course. It’s built on a former farm with rolling hills and Mountain View’s. Some tees and greens are in need of repair but otherwise the course is greening up and looking good.

Good course, bad people (person)

Played here many times, may never again. Course is nice, enjoy playing it. But when the starter is a complete jerk, picks a fight for you “not being on time” even though you are lined up 10 minutes early and he himself is inside doing god knows what until 10 minutes after your tee time (but maintains the audacity to not only blame you but argue about it as well) it ruins the mood. And when he physically lays hands on you (grabbed the inner thigh of my cart mate with a “okay, fine, it’s okay”, essentially I’m right just shut it) it’s even worse. Should’ve gone in and gotten a refund, at minimum. Our foursome was filled with two others who also expressed discontent with the attitude this starter displayed. Argumentative, physically assaulting, finger pointing for his own absence and tardiness. It’s enough not to come back, sadly.

Fun course… slow play

We were a threesome and it took 5 hours to finish our round. The greens were aerated and sandy ( not mentioned on GolfNow) I would love to play the course with regular greens. Staff was very friendly and nice.
