Callahan Golf Links
About
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.

Greens are Unplayable!
From the unfriendliness of the girl in the pro shop, to the lack of directional signs from green-to-tee, to not having a Junior rate, to the greens being unplayable…. It was rough!!
Disappointing Greens
Played the course a couple of weeks ago and everything was excellent. Now after challenging weather conditions the past weeks the greens have taken a beating. Overall, the greens held approach shots well, were medium speed, but bumpy with a lot of splotchy places (mixture of grass and no grass). Only putts that were struck very firmly held their lines.
Love Callahan
Usually 5 stars across the board for this course and crew but the Greens are miserable right now. You can tell they are working to fix the problem (lots of sand on the Greens) but overuse and two heat waves have burnt them to pieces. I've no doubt these guys will get it righted soon. Love Callahan.!
Callahan is always a good time.
The owners have put a lot into improving conditions since early spring. They top dressed the greens that morning making the greens a little slow and bumpy, but still putted fair. They've done a lot to improve the tee boxes and fairways since all the winter wear. The traps could use dressing, but were overall good.
Callahan's is a great value and a challenge for all levels of golfers.
Beautiful layout
This course is challenging but short enough to be fun. The greens were slow the day we played. Staff was very friendly.
Rough condition
The weather has not been favorable for this course this summer. The greens and tee boxes where not up to the normal acceptable condition from previous rounds at the course.
Course needs some work
Got to play 9 holes because of an incoming storm, was offered raincheck on the turn. Greens were in poor shape, some tee boxes very rough. For the price being charged, it's not worth it. I've always liked the layout here, but until conditions improve, I may not be back.
Good time .
We had a good time . The fairway were great the greens were not so great . The practice area for putting is what I was expecting for the greens but they were nothing like it . The staff were very friendly and polite. We will definitely go back as I shot a 82 for the first time playing from the white tees :) . Thanks
Greens In Poor Shape
Bentgrass greens in poor shape. Tee boxes in poor shape
Country Golf
Callhan is always what you expect. This ain't no fancy country club. It's just country with ordinary folks and lots of retirees looking for bargains. And most usually friendly.
The course is in good shape overall for what you pay for. Fairways in good shape and tee boxes mostly ok except the heavily shaded areas. The problem is always the greens. They keep them very long and shaggy. This means VERY SLOW. Like you are putting on the fringe all the way to the hole. I know they don't want them to die out, but cut and roll them.
Always an enjoyable round
The course is in pretty good shape considering the heat and lack of rain. Fairways have some thin spots but are playable. Greens have been 10-penny nail type punched. The result is the greens are a little rough but still OK. Just putting (or getting) a lot of water on the course for a few days would move it up to a 5-star rating.
