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.

Slow play
We had an 830 tee time. A threesome was already on the fairway at the first hole so we had to wait before we can tee off. While waiting, a twosome came up and said they had an 830. But we were already paired with someone else they had an 830. So there should not of been a fivesome going off on the first hole at 8:30 in the morning so we were suspicious of that. A twosome that had just drove up said that they were gonna go ahead and tee off against our complaints. Add the third hole to some that had teed off in front of us joined up with a threesome that was already on the first fairway. At that point play came to a halt. There was no chorus Marshall to keep play times in order. Every T-shirt the fivesome had to look for their balls and would not allow anyone to play through. We did not finish our round till 3 o’clock after starting at 8:30 in the morning.
Other than poor time management, the course was in really good shape and the greens were fast and true. I do recommend play in this course but I would confirm upon arrival that no one else has got your tee time.
Slow play
Had 8:30 tee time as a 3-some. While waiting to tee off , a 2-some came up and said they had an 8:30 as a 2-some. They basically stepped in front of us and teed off. Then on whole 2 tee box, they a 3-some to become 5-some and the whole course behind them slowed to a snails pace. This group spent a lot of time searching for balls taking more than 20 minutes per hole.
No course Marshall around to hurry the pace!!!
Solid course for the money!
The course was a lot of fun to play. It is set up for any ability level. I did not play from the tips today…but I plan to give it a try from them in the future.
The course gives many risk reward opportunities. It’s going to be a course I try and play often. Awesome value.
Course in great shape
Course , fairways and greens, all good. No complaints, all good.
Course review
As always, the course is in excellent condition and the groups were stared off on time with no wait time be tween groups
Fun layout
Interesting holes. Challenging but not too hard. Greens in good shape, but SLOW. very enjoyable.
Great value for all golfers
Great course for all golfers. The course itself was in great shape! Tee box’s we’re fairly flat considering it’s a public course and there were plenty of areas to get a good tee shot from fresh grass. Fairways were great, first cut was okay and even the second looked decent. Greens rolled pretty true and again, we’re in great shape for a public course! - we played Fairways of Canton the day before for $70 and I thought Callahan was in much better shape regardless off the $$.
Driving range is so-so as is the clubhouse however the bread new carts were a very nice surprise. Course was A++, I can’t say enough good about this one!!!
Great shape
I have played there many times and the course is is great shape.
One of the best values in North Metro
Greens are in great shape, the layout is good for every skill level. Rangers keep the pace moving. As a twosome we made it around in 3. Hours 15 minutes playing through a couple foursomes.
Review
Great course, always in top condition thanks to Mark Reese. Clubhouse runs smoothly with Josh.
Nice course
We started right on time. Course is in excellent condition. Greens and tees excellent condition. Fairways as well. We were both surprisingly impressed with the course which apparently was built on farm. Callahan is deceiving from Rheinhardt College Pkwy view. It's much nicer than it appears.
We never had to wait and no one was ever directly behind us. It was a very fun morning of golf for the two of us. Cart paths in good condition as are the carts. I did lose a few balls.
