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.

A Big Surprise

Have driven by this course thinking it was a 9 hole executive course with a driving range. To my surprise, this was an enjoyable track to play. Challenging holes with a great layout. I will definitely be back!

Strange experience.

Weird all day, not necessarily in a bad way. No one to give you a cart. No starter. Had to go behind the bar myself to fill a water bottle. Needless to say there was no ranger to be seen. Saw cart girl once all round but that was once more than many courses these days. So all that was different but no big deal.

The course was a trip too. Tee boxes were full of divots and broken golf tees. Not many waste baskets so saw beer cans in the trees. Pitch marks rarely repaired. All this can probably be attributed to the same slobs. But it is just lazy course management too. No yardage markers and I question the yardage accuracy too. We had fairway mostly bordered by foot high weeds. Every time you missed the fairway you lost your ball. But so did everyone else because you usually found 1 or 5. And you deserved to lose your ball because the fairways were mostly generous. Quite a few carries would be beyond the high handicapper but the white tees bypassed most of them. Several greens were perched on hills making for a difficult chipping round. Greens were decent if a bit slow. Layout followed the local landscape and predictably up and down especially the back nine through the trees whereas the holes nearer the clubhouse were in a really big field. But the holes were usually interesting especially the par 3’s and this fact alone no doubt boosts a lot of the rating scores, including mine. Compared with other courses nearby I would say this is good value though not for a low handicapper who would likely expect more.

Hidden Gem

Callahan's is a beautiful links style course. The course is always well maintained, with a challenging set up. Very laid back atmosphere with average ammenities, but great value for the price. Always enjoy my experience at Callahan's.

Bring your own water!!!

Bring your own water…there are no coolers and drink cart maybe once a round. To make maters worse, clubhouse often closes early leaving no relief at the turn.

Need pin placement information or red white and blue flags

Amazes me how some so called golfers have absolutely no golf etiquette. They don't repair their ball divots on any green,drive golf carts on holes that say no golf carts and on every par 3.

Worst of all you are stuck behind them and they refuse to let faster players play through.

Course needs a marshal who can advise said golfers on some of the most basic rules.

There are no water jugs on the course. When it is this hot out there should be water jugs.

Great Pace of play, not an excuse for no drink cart

Been here a few times. Really enjoy the course, the greens are in even better shape than the past. Some of the par 3s REALLY need attention though. I couldn’t find my pitch marks because there were so many.

Only real complaint is lack of drink cart. On a day where the temp is 95+ “Not a lot of reservations today” is not an excuse to not have a drink cart out. Even at any temp, it’s not a reason.
