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.

Solid course

Enjoyed playing here in the scenic foothills of the mountains. Nice course layout, challenging, yet forgiving for the novice golfer. The greens looked good, but we’re really slow! Felt like I needed to do a full swing to get the ball across the green! Overall, I would recommend, and will return.

GolfPass screwed up

There was nothing wrong with the golf course. I play there frequently. The problem was there was not a reservation for me so I ended up paying full price and luckily there was a spot near my requested time. I am debating on cancelling my. golfpass account because I have heard too many people complain that you have dropped the ball. Even Callahan says not to use your services because they have had too many complaints.

What good is it to have a discount program that doesn't work? You can make it right by giving me some compensation or consider my account closed and return my annual fee.

Pretty good course

Had to walk all course because of rain. I could see flat and low lying holes but looked like we could have driven on the ones that had a slope where it had drained well. I won’t never play it again if it is cart path only. I just had a total knee replacement eight weeks ago should have had a handicap flag but they would not let me have one.

Pace of play WAY too slow on the weekends here

I played this course yesterday also, so nothing has changed as far as the course itself, but the difference in the pace of play from a Friday to a Saturday was huge. An hour more to play the same 18 holes, and it's not like we played fast on Friday. Marshalls have to push the pace of play to make this place enjoyable to play on the weekends!

Great course condition, always interesting layout

I play this course a few times a year, and it was in terrific condition, especially the greens. I only wish the clientele who play here would help out the greenskeepers by fixing their ball marks! The layout is always interesting, lots of different looking holes.

Even give the amount of our recent rain, the course was in excellent condition. Mark Reese is doing a great job maintaining the course.

Great Value

For $50 on a Saturday with a cart this one is hard to beat. It is a very challenging course, do not be in the pasturegrass!! We could pinpoint where a couple of balls went in and still could not locate them. Overall the course was in great condition for being the middle of August. A few nit picks: a couple of the tee boxes need some work, a second beverage cart would be helpful (we saw her once the entire round), add sand and coolers to the carts (they looked brand new so maybe those are coming), and the clubhouse and range could use updating. But that is why the round was $50 and not $75-100, so not complaining. I was also shocked at the lack of golf etiquette shown by other player in not replacing divots!! Also, i left my rangefinder on the cart and while they could have easily said they couldn't locate it and walk away with the branch new $200 rangefinder they didn't, and it was there for me Sunday when I went back for it. So kudos to them .

Overall, great round, will be back

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!
