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.

Great place!
Great place to play! Does not cost to much for a round of golf. Will be back almost every week
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
Golf on 8-17-22
Course was in great shape but greens need some TLC. Most had some dead spots an some had large areas of issues.
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 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.
Pace of Play
The marshals did their best yet pace of play was slow. This was not the course’s fault. Golfers need to learn to practice etiquette. One mulligan per nine, not every shot. Greens were a little rough but overall not bad.
Great course at a great value.
Callahan is a great course. Right now they are struggling with the condition of the greens due to the heat, but they’re working on it. I highly recommend this course.
Green maintenance
Greens are just very bad in general. There’s weeds and craters everywhere. If those get fixed then the greens would be solid
Great Day on the Links
I had a great time on the course. Callahan’s is a challenging course that plays friendly for mid handicapped players when played from the white tees. The blue tees can be difficult, as it should be. The greens were a little slower than usual and had a few bumps, otherwise the course was in excellent condition.
