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.

Disappointed in time/golf cart management

We made our tee time for 2:50 in hopes of getting all 18 in while knowing full well it would be very close. Arrived to find that they were having to turn golf carts around as players finished. In doing so, pushing our tee time back to 3:20. As a result, only getting in 12 holes. Also saw multiple (only 2 but on a packed Sunday that should absolutely never be the case) groups of 5 ahead of us; which obviously didnt help our already slow round. Callahan definitely won on Sunday, Feb 2. Feel like a refund is in order.

Slow play on s weekday

Over 4 1/2 hours to play on a weekday is ridiculous. Course is in OK condition.Some of the greens are nearly unplayable and the tee boxes are in desperate need of attention.

Not sure what happened to this course but it is going down hill fast .In desperate need of someone who takes pride in their work to bring this place back to what it should be

Its all the small things that this course doesn’t do that add up to a not very enjoyable day

Windy weather
Used cart

Course is open, greens are terrible

a 10' downhill putt on one green will roll 3 times as far on the next green. Super inconsistent and terrible greens. Maintenance staff are working on bunkers and cutting tee boxes/fairways while you are playing. Because half the holes are in the open with any wind it is a disaster and we were playing in gusts of up to 40mph just impossible to shape shots(maybe I am just bad). Greens are really the worst part of this course. on a nice day with no wind I would play it for a max of $35

Great course

Exceptional course and friendly staff. The temps were low 40s with some winds but very much bearable this time of year. Tees and Greens good shape but had to keep it moving to stay warm.

Best Public Course Around

For the money, best course around. I enjoy "mountain courses," and this was that. I'll definitely be back.

Fun and challenging for a fair price

This was a great change from other courses that are tree lined with huge hills. The layout mixed with a foggy day felt like a true links style course. Cart girl was quickly making rounds but there was no Marshall to help keep pace of play. Being stuck behind a slow group happens but having another group then hitting in to you starts to get annoying. Overall great time for a great price.

Nice, but just ok

They don't have rain hoods on the back of golf carts. If it rains your clubs get wet.

So many rules posted everywhere. If you are hitting a range ball on the course you get kicked out??? I mean, are things that tight that a range ball is going to hurt you?

Greens are in good shape.
