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.

Winter play

Winter play was chilly. Course grass is dormant but nothing different than any other southern course this time of year. Greens were fast. Putting surface had occasional bare spots on a couple of the greens. But the way my game was being played that day it really didn't matter. Will play it many more times before years end.

Good winter golf

The course is in pretty good shape for this time of the year. Greens roll well and are surprisingly extremely fast. Fairways are dormant but OK. The biggest challenge was fighting the wind. Overall, an enjoyable winter round of golf.

Always best rates in the area

It is challenging and fun place to play. Very scenic with limited development in the area. A great place to lose your stress. Open views across multiple fairways on half the course. Creeks and valleys and ponds. Accuracy rewarded. If you are wild off the tee it won’t be your favorite place. Greens are moderate to fast. 3 and 16 are drivable par 4’s. 5 and 10 are very challenging unless you’re a long hitter. 3 and 15 are my favorite.

Windy & cold

Good course, it was really windy and cold the day we played, challenging to say the least. I can tell it is for most people with all the balls that we found off the fairways(yes, I was there a bit) As a beginner in folding, I found this course challenging, but would definitely play it again.

Greens are beat up. Tees horrible

The golf greens were in horrible condition. Tons and tons of bare areas. I know it’s winter time but it was horrible. They shouldn’t be charging the amount they charge for the round. T boxes were an absolute terrible condition.

Just what was “cold” fore!!

You will have to forgive me for having a little pun in the title but now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, I’d like to say what an excellent round of golf my buddy and I played at your course a few days ago. We both played terribly of course and the weather was worse but that is rarely the point. Keep up the good work guys and gals of Callahans. I appreciate it immensely

Great value!

Beautiful course and great value. Bent grass greens are good with above average speed. A few bad spots on greens here and there but very playable. Fairways are tight now that Bermuda grass is dormant. Traps were in very good shape and fortunately I was only in one. They always seem to be making improvements on this course. Several newly sodded tees and areas around the course. I will play here more often.
