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.

Always a fun course...

The course has really come around this year and is in the best shape I can remember. There are a few Tee boxes that are in dire need of help. One par 3 has rough length weeds on it. Several are so hard that it is almost impossible to get a tee in the ground. I was disappointed that they didn't notify GolfNow about Aerating the greens. Given the fact that they were aerated, the greens weren't terrible. I've definitely putted on worse after this has been done. The course desperately needs to have a starter. Right now, the players just pretty much roll up to the tee box and go without any regard to their tee time or group size. That lends itself to a bunch of singles and twosomes scattered out throughout the course. Pace of play is definitely affected in a negative way. It should not take 5hours to play this course, but it often does.

Wish I knew the greens were punched

Great course. Played it several times before. Just wish it had said the greens were just punched. Still worth the hot deal price though. Love the layout; not having to hit driver all day if you’re struggling with it.

Grass range and a super chill staff make for nice vibes on the course too.

Pace was up and down. Played the front in 90min. Took more than 2 hours to play the back once we caught a few groups.

Good value track

Callahan has been our go-to course for leisure rounds. The value is excellent for the conditions provided. We got a 4-some around in 3.5 hours with minimal waiting.

The course has many areas where the grass is far below standard. A few greens and many tee boxes have either no grass in areas or are mostly cut down weeds. Furthermore, if your ball lands outside the fairway I’d suggest moving it to a patch of grass. There are rocks everywhere outside the fairway.

We will continue to play here and enjoy, but wish there was more standard grass conditions throughout.

Local knowledge

Callahan Golf Course was in good condition. If you have never played there before it is best to get paired up with someone with local knowledge of the course. Fairways and greens were in good shape. The day I played was cart path only, not due to previous rain, but to give fairways relief from heat. One of my favorite golf courses to play.

They are working hard to bring back the lost areas. It had little to no impact on my round. The rest of the course is in fantastic condition.

Callahan’s 8/1/24

It was a hot day with heat index in the 102-103 degree range. We were surprised to see as many golfers playing that we did given the conditions, in my opinion that speaks well for the course that players would risk heat related issues to play.

The staff have always been great and the course looked to be well tended to. The fairways were well tended and cut and made playing off the fairway easy. The greens still have some tending needed but are doing well despite recent damage.

Love this course

I’ve been coming to this course for about 4 years now and it is consistently good, staff is friendly, and you can actually tell they put a lot of effort into maintaining the course. I hope a couple of membership spots open soon so my wife and I can join.
