Elks

Great course for beginners, and extremelyaffordable. . Staff are all friendly. Greens are rough on some holes, but theyre getting alot better the longer we play the course. Over all a great course for the value.

Greens are in poor shape

This is a great course for learning but you can’t putt on the greens at all, which is one of the most important aspects of the game. Learning to drive the ball or shape shots this is a good course.

Not bad for the money

Start with the good the carts are new and are very comfortable. The bad is, the on board computer has little to no info. No yardage, so it is basically useless. The front nine greens were horrible, it was like putting on a gravel lot. You can not beat the price. When we went it was like having the place to yourself. So it made it a very enjoyable day. The cart paths could use some maintenance. We have complaints but still enjoy the place. I wish they would make some improvements to make it better. It wouldn’t take much.

Fine for beginners

The course has a good layout and will be a great course once they figure out how to have greens.

Course conditions

The greens are pretty poor shape years ago it use to be a nice little course to play but I’m afraid the course just keeps going downhill each year it seems but it is pretty cheap to play 18 just wouldn’t rely on putting on the greens.

Not bad for price.

The course is not bad for the price but the greens were a little rough. I expected as much since it is the winter. The golf carts are electric and brand new. They had the Golf Cart GPS System which told you what hole you were on and where the next hole was. It also gave you distance to the hole from tee box and distance to hole from fairway. Very Nice! Also warned you when you were heading to restricted areas. I scored my second birdie of my short golf experience. I'm sure course is better in warmer months. But hey golfing in December is still golfing.

Good cheap golf

Calhoun Elks always has good deals to play, and the staff is always friendly. The course is very wide and easy to play, but still has some challenging holes. Great place to come for a cheap golf day

Great People, But Course Needs Some Attention

Calhoun Elks Golf Club has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere with a great group of members who clearly care about the place. The layout has potential and offers a fun mix of holes that could really shine with some additional upkeep.

Unfortunately, the course conditions right now leave a bit to be desired. Fairways and greens could use more maintenance, and some areas feel a little rough or uneven. It’s still playable, but not quite at the level you’d expect for the potential the layout has.

The clubhouse is very basic, with just a few vending machines and limited amenities. While it’s a quiet place to take a break, it doesn’t offer much in the way of food or drink options.

Overall, the people are great and the atmosphere is friendly, but the course and facilities could use some attention to reach their full potential.

Try another course

Played here today. Only the ProShop was open. Electric carts were fine. Couse was in terrible shape. Almost impossible to put a tee in the ground. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were Full of weeds. Two temporay greens (if you can even call them greens) were being utilized. Greens were basically an extension of the fairways. Bunkers were well maintained. Putting green was excellent. Too bad the same care was not put into the gourse greens. Spend a few additional dollars and find a real golf course.
