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.

Poor planning

There was a 72 player scramble of seniors on the course that still had 9 holes to play at 1:00, which was our tee time. We're on the tee, behind a bunch of groups, and behind us comes a foursome from #18 saying they have 6 more holes to play.

The greens have a lot of weeds or Bermuda grass coming through, and the tee boxes are rough.

OK for winter playing conditions

Fairways are fine for this time of the year. The greens are mostly OK but could use some spring weather to fill in some of the blemishes. Always a great course for scenic vistas.

Great layout, good course conditions

Always enjoy the layout of this course. Course conditions were surprisingly good for this time of year (better than when I played in October). Having beautiful weather 2 days before Christmas certainly helped! Just a great day out there.

Good winter play

It was a cold start but got better during the afternoon. Got cold again last hour of play.

Pace of play was good as there were not that many golfers on the course.

Condition of course was about what was expected for this time of year.

Staff were pleasant and helpful.

Slow play

Course had no rangers of marshals monitoring slow play. This particular day had first time golfers who took their time hitting and hacking the ball. It backed up the foursomes until someone called the pro shop to send someone out.

Course is in good shape through

Great day at Callahan

Always a good round here. They're currently dealing with some chemical burns on some of their greens... it was a watering mishap... but they're working to fix them. They were upfront about these conditions, appreciate that. We just took a little relief from the burnt areas and used where thr green was ok and same distance.

Great day.

Love the layout here. Makes me hit most clubs in my bag in a round.

About half of the greens are in pretty rough shape but still good course overall.

Great value with the golfnow rates.

Dry fairways + soft greens = 75.

The course is in good shape, even though the management put a disclaimer on the Golfnow app about the greens conditions; they are doing a good job in keeping the course in good shape!
