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.

Good Value

This course is a good value for the money. Friendly staff and a good layout. Greens need some love and the marshall needs to watch the pace of play. We were a foursome and there was a group of 3 in front of us that had everyone held up. We had to wait on basically every shot. This not only impacted us but the foursome behind us as well. The marshall came by us several times but to my knowledge he never said anything to the 3 person group that was holding everyone up.

9/6/22

Only paying $19 for my round I am not too disappointed however I will say this course is in very rough shape. A couple greens have GUR and some of the tee boxes are near dead. The first green was super fuzzy but most of the others were a little better but I quit putting after the 8th hole or so.

Pace was fine as no one was really out there but they definitely need to invest in the course a bit more.

I doubt I would play again there even for $19.

Greens are in poor condition

The driving range was closed when I got there. Might be nice if they put that on their website. The course is getting a bit rough around the edges especially the tee boxes and greens.Not a lot of fun when you are putting over dirt and infestation but the course is probably doing it’s best.Don’t like the red and black pin flags as you can’t tell what position the holes are located especially on up hill shots.

Will give this place rest and-a chance to get better as it is a nice place to play when it’s in good shape

Not in the best shape

Fairways were in good shape but most of the tee boxes and greens need a lot of attention. lots of weeds and crabgrass on the greens and looks like most of the greens have a lot of bare spots.That teeboxes I also need attention.Driving range was close.Pace of play was fine and the ground keepers are doing their best but course is very dry

First Time Playing

First time my son broke 80

Nice change to all the hilly courses in the area and some really nice holes. Greens were plain lousy and incredibly slow, but I know it costs a lot to keep greens in okay condition.

That said I really like that it was not gimmicky and pretty much what you saw is what it was.

My son (19) and I went out late afternoon this past Sunday and paired up with two singles that were gems to play with and play it regularly.

First tee at 3:15 was crowded and thought we were in for a 5+ hour round and finished in 4:05 which itself was awesome

I played to my handicap and my son broke 80 for the first time with a double bogey on 18 to fire 79. Needless to say, we had a wonderful time at Callahan.

Great way to end a summer full of golf for the two of us before heading back to college

Criminally SLOW

40 minutes in to the round, we are just finishing the second hole. No ranger, nobody enforcing pace of play. It was slow last time I played and I wanted to give it another chance. It was even worse. Unless you shoot 110+ or want to spend 6 freaking hours on a golf course waiting to hit every shot. AVOID THIS PLACE. Don’t let the low cost sucker you in.

This course was challenging. We don't play very often so the high brush (instead of water) was difficult to hit over but it was a good challenge. I think we lost about a dozen balls.
