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.

I love this course

I've been playing Callahan for the past two years and can't say enough good things about this course. From Josh & Julio in the pro shop to Matt the superintendent, this is a first-class operation. No three people try harder to make your day better than these three.

There are plenty of Country Clubs nearby that I have either played or been a member of that I never felt part of. Callahan is a friendly, family course that everyone will enjoy. If you play from the "tips' I promise you will be challenged at this place. If you are like me, (I'm 64 and have earned the right to play the whites ;-) ) this course is the perfect place to spend your days enjoying the rolling hills, wide fairways and smooth greens.

Weekend getaway

Vacationing in the area and wanted to play without breaking the getaway budget. Found this course online and thought we'd give it a try. So glad we did. The staff were friendly, and the locals we were paired with were a lot of fun. We love the area, and will definitely be back.

Fun layout...

I've played here a good bit. Greens are in great condition and it's a really great layout. Some tee boxes aren't in great shape but, I mean, youre using a tee right? No big deal.

Good Value

Only major complaint is the number of range balls you get for a $5 bucket. Kind of paltry.

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.

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.
