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.

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.

End of June Course Condition

We have always enjoyed the friendly interaction with the staff at this course. My son & I played the course for the 1st time in about 6 weeks because of temp & greens being aerated. Although we enjoyed our round, we were quite disappointed at the condition of the greens. They were extremely slow, had numerous bumpy sections, & even bare areas..

I still recommend this course to others, but with the prices increasing we have recently played other courses

similarly priced & in better condition. .

Going downhill

this course is dried out from the tea boxes fairways and greens. Sometimes it is even hard to put a tea in the tea boxes and the fairways need to be watered. The greens have just been aerated but they need a lot and I mean a lot of water. Some show signs of major burn out and tthe Course should probably install some fans around the greens.

Staff are ok but nothing special.No ranger or cart person all day.Pace of play was fine but this place needs watering and a lot of rain.

Will give it a month before returning

I thought the course was good. Nice layout. Need to roll the greens . They are very shaggy and slow. Some tee boxes need work.

So much potential

This course has a very good layout. Disappointing that the greens were so thick. Numerous groups in the parking lot prior to any staff arriving is a bad look. Would be a spectacular course if they had Bermuda instead of Bentgrass and invested more in the course amenities( Range, bar and grill). A nice back up course to get a tee time. There are too many other courses nearby that are a better value for it to be a first choice.

Nice course for the price

I know it’s the dog days of summer, but could use more water on the fairways…both drinking water coolers and on the grass. Most fairways are very dry. And the course “official” driving around with his big stogie couldn’t be bothered to wave back the three times he passed us at full speed…but I guess the cigar was getting in the way

Good course

Front 9 - tee boxes and fairways in decent shape, greens were slow and shaggy, possibly in prep for the upcoming heat. Couple of hole designs were borderline crazy.

Back 9 - tee boxes in need of some TLC, fairways in good shape, greens had some speed, way better than front 9.

Views are second to none throughout the course.

Very few bailout options throughout the 18 holes. Gotta keep it straight and plan on extra roll with the summer conditions which will have you frustrated for sure.

Would love to see how this course would play with a bit more attention to details.
