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.

Good experience
Came to play on Mother’s Day, due to my mom passing last October and wanted to spend the day to myself, but ended up catching up with the group in front of me and and joined with them and the group behind me caught up with us so we all played together and had a great time! I will be back to play again! Great course and great people!
Sweet
It’s an open course but challenging.
Be prepared to lose a ball or two if u aren’t hitting well as some of the rough will absolutely swallow them up.
When in doubt..... lay up!
I was a member at Woodland Hills in Cartersville but gave it up, I enjoyed this course so much more.
Nice Day at Callahan
Comfortable day at Callahan . Course greening up fairways and greens in good shape. Need some work on several tee boxes. Good value for the money.

Enjoyable coarse to play. Several holes very challenging
Friendly but Expensive for the Quality
Played with my wife and young son for both of their first times. For that purpose, everyone was very friendly and relaxed so a great experience with them. I was privately annoyed with how much it cost to play a round versus the poor greens.
Mr Bill
Love the coarse. Greens where spiked so that's why I said four or else I would give a 5. I know, it has to be done .
Going downhill
This is a fun layout but the course conditions, staff, and amenities are all below average. The tee boxes are mostly bare dirt, the greens are in poor condition, the staff is rude, and the amenities are, well non existent. On the range they have spray painted a message that says, “Read the F/N signs.” This in reference to not hitting of the grass but hitting of the mats. I get it, but completely unprofessional. I enjoy the laid back experience that Callahan offered but it’s gone beyond that now. No beverage cart and to top it of, not one water cooler on the entire course. Hate to see the course go downhill but this is the last time I will play here.
Enjoyable afternoon at Callahan
Course in pretty good shape, greens coming along since played last. Met a nice gentleman and enjoyed the company. Callahan is a nice golf course for cost and proximity to me. I live at Fairways of Canton so pretty close. Facility and course and staff represent a reasonable rate and friendly atmosphere for 18 holes of golf. I will play at least once or twice a month.
Best Value Course in NW Georgia
If you're looking for a course under $60 in Georgia that's not a par 3 course are poor quality maintenance course this is the course for you play can be slow sometimes but overall expect a 4-Hour round greens are usually in good condition with the exception of the first hole course plays pretty normal would recommend for high handicap and mid handicap golfers who don't want to pay a lot to play golf.
Worth the fee
Challenging course. Greens were aerated so bumpy putts. Staff friendly.
Great place to play!
Great place to play ! Very affordable. Several renovations in place. Staff very friendly. Prices in pro shop are the best !
