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.

Worth a drive up there
I’ve played Callahan 5 times now. I drive up from Marietta and play. It’s a very solid course and worth the money. It’s not going blow you away with 5 star luxury but it’s very very solid. Greens look healthy, fairways are usually in good shape, tee boxes overall are pretty solid. Layout offers some variety. It plays a little short but that makes it enjoyable hitting shorter irons or wedges more often than not. They just got some new golf carts and they have a little restaurant/bar are.
Also when the starter is out there rippin’ cowboy killers and shootin the breeze you understand the environment and how it’s the perfect amount of laid back.
Beautiful morning and late afternoon views across the valley here.
The only thing i caution about is when you lose your ball deep into the high grass you aren’t finding it. It’s like a big hayfield, not normal rough/grass.
Callahan is worth a trip to Waleska, good little course.
5 Star Public Course
It never stops amazing me how well taken care of this golf course is. Always playable, good pace of play & great greens! I have played it even when it first opened & most fairways were sprigs of Bermuda, fairways are so full and covered . An absolute value for the cost. Must see Par 3 - 8th hole from back tees in the Autumn, colors along Mountain back drop are spectacular.
Good course
Hole 1 is irritating but all others are fine. Good greens and a fair course.
Fun course
Really enjoy playing this course. They’re out a ways but if you get a chance go have fun. Greens are healing up nicely after aeration and the balls are rolling well over most.
Great value
Greens had been aireated but didn't effect play very much.
Had a lot of fun.
Wife and I played the course got paired with some really nice guys who play the track quite a bit. That was a ton of help because there is definitely course knowledge you need to have out there. Layout was awesome and absolutely beautiful. The greens were punched and I still loved the round. Would recommend to anyone willing to make the drive.
Steve’s review
Amazing course, most T boxes was good. Fairways good to play, our group had had a good time
Cart path only
Because of heavy rain Saturday course was cart path only. The hilly nature of the place always makes it a challenge. That having been said course is in great shape and the new golf carts are very good. Didn't hurt that I had 3 pars down the stretch (a rarity for me)...
Good day
Had a terrific time with one of my sons, faculty could not have been friendlier!
Exceeded expectation - I will return
First time playing this course. I didn't have high expectations based on price but it definitely exceeded expectations. The course is fairly open but with the elevation changes and slopes on almost all holes you need to hit shots in correct locations not just in fairway. The greens were aerated but not sanded so kind of bumpy but you could tell very well kept and fast greens when not aerated.
