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.

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!

Greens are in very rough shape

Not sure what happened but there are serious bare spots popping up on most greens. They are putting out chemicals so this may be due to disease etc. They are also keeping the grass extra high which makes putting a chore. The tee boxes are spotty but playable. The rest of the course is in solid condition. The driving range is fine except for the complete lack of targets to aim at and the awful practice ball condition.

I live right down the road and play Lake Arrowhead and here quite often.. it might be a while until I play here again with the greens being in terrible shape. A shame.

Not Worth The Money

I’ve played Callahan multiple times and this by far was the worse condition I’ve seen it in. Tee boxes were in bad shape and almost every green was eaten up and were very fuzzy. Also there was no water on the course whatsoever. The staff however were very friendly. The condition of the course should’ve had it at about $35-$40 and not $55. I won’t be back until these issues are addressed.

No Ranger on course

No Ranger to move patrons along. Twosome in front of threesome in front of us. Was hitting multiple balls every shot. Which in turn had foursome behind us (wife and I) very impatient.

Into the fall season

I had not played Callahan Golf Links in a while. The greens were spotty in places, and some of the tee boxes are in desperate need of some sod. But it is always a fun course to play.

Greens were punched needed blown off. Tee boxes were in rough shape. Usually the course has been in good shape but today was a big let down.

Course was in rough condition from the greens to the tee boxes!!!

Greens were pathetic

Got to the course only to find out that the greens were sanded and overly sanded. Why we were playing the sand carts came out and delivered more sand on top of the greens. Very frustrating.

The course is always a joy to come too. People are nice, layout is great. They will be punching greens shortly but they always do such a great job here. Just putt a little straighter with punched greens. Keep up the good work!

Great value! Course was in great shape. I’ve played it at least 10 times and 10/06 was by far the best condition the course has been in. Other than listening to the yelling of the ignorant characters in the groups ahead that didn’t call themselves golfers, it was a good experience as always.
