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.

Disappointed in course condition

Lost a lot of balls not only in hazards but even low grass adjacent to fairways. Balls drop down into grass and can not be seen. Greens are in need of repair. Lot of holes making putts difficult. Seemed like hazards were overgrown more than previous games. Would like to see areas along and across fairways cleared so we can have a better chance of finding balls and not having to worry about snakes or take more time finding balls. That would also speed up pace of play.

Grounds and equipment need fixing

First off... Divots everywhere and no sand to fill them. Every fairway was riddled with them. Tee boxes looked like someone tried digging fence holes blindfolded and a couple looked like they sprayed Roundup while jumping on a Pogo stick. More than a couple greens were in such bad condition that they started forming their own small bunkers. And don't even get me started on the amount of unrolled greens with pitch marks all over them. Now, onto the condition of their carts. More than one group was playing with a flat tire. They sounded like an APC running through the course. Seats had small rips as well.

Great value, need Maarshalls

I really do enjoy playing golf at Callahan. It’s a great layout and for about the fourth time in a row we finished the front nine in less than two hours. The problem was on the back nine it took nearly 3 hours to finish. They don’t have anybody policing extended play so it appears that some guys finish 18 and don’t see anybody looking so they decide to play the back nine again. They were groups that we didn’t see on the front nine. All they need to do is pay a really good marshal to police the turn And occasionally speed up a slow group. For instance, we were one of four groups that were stacked up waiting to play the 17th hole and the 18th hole again. It took 40 minutes to play the last two holes they can easily fix this problem and that really is their only problem.

Slow Greens

Another good day at Callahan’s.The greens were a bit slow and bumpy and could definitely be cut and rolled.

A few of the greens are having some issues and really should be marked as ground under repair to give them a chance to recover.Some improvements to the tee boxes have been made but there is room for more especially #15.

Pace of play was good and we finished in under 3 hours 45 minutes.No cart person all day and it would be great if they placed water coolers around the course.

Not a big fan of the red and black checkered pin flags as you have no idea of where the hole is especially on uphill shots which there are quite a few.

Staff are friendly and the driving range was open

Still no water coolers on course

Course is in great condition. Would give 5 stars but course continues to not put back water coolers that were removed during Covid. With summer heat this is unacceptable. At least tell customers at check-in.

Best I have ever seen it

I was very pleased with the overall course at Callahan course. The fairways are the best I have ever seen them. A lot of the tee boxes have been freshly sodded. The majority of the greens were trimmed will and had a great roll to them. The only thing that I saw was the rough out of bound was thick and high and it made it hard to find a ball. It was the best play I have ever had on the course. I am planning on bringing my mates to play the course again in the near future.

Callaghan’s golf on a hot day

Course conditions were very good from tee to green . Had a quick round as pace of play was outstanding. Course layout is both fair and challenging. It was a hot day thus the beverage chart was a welcomed relief.

Had a good time
