I just played Callahans and found the course much different than other
courses. The price is a good value.
The course can be trying if you don't keep it in the fairway. The course was
built on old farmland and buildings still remain in the middle of the course.
The holes along the front of course are links style, while the others were
carved from the many hills.
This is not my favorite course, but nice for the price.

This is a great course for the price. The layout is great... goes from open
holes to target golf and back again..
only a couple of holes that are unfair but if you can stay in the fairway
you can go low!
Not many yardage markers in the fairways so you will have to guesstimate alot,
unless you bring a rangefinder.

Played the course again on Sunday and for the 2nd week in a row they had the FMB
pin placement.
Why is it if you play on Sunday you get the Front Middle Back pin placements.
I wish they would change this up so that it would be the same every
Sunday.
I will say the pin placements were not as close to the edges as the week
before - THANK YOU.
The greens are getting a little crusty - I hope they get some rain soon or they
could loose them like other courses.
I am still not convinced this is a great value but I will give it a good value
because of the location.

Took my son and father-in-law Saturday evening to squeeze in 9 holes (it was the
first time my 8 year old had did anything but hit at the driving range).
We had a great time, I tried to plan an outing so my son could learn the game
without pressure and it was perfect for that.
We teed it up at 6:30 and didn't have anyone behind us the whole time.
I do wish we could of had a little longer to play
(carts had to be turned in at 8:30 and they made sure we did- I think we
could have played another couple holes)
They gave us a good rate and it was a day my son and I won't forget...
(the greens were a little fast but the course overall was in good shape for the
middle of July)

I played this course on Monday 7-6-09.
There was a golf league playing so we had to play the back nine twice,
which was annoying since we didn't even get told that when we made our
reservation.
Greens were actually pretty nice. Not to fast or slow and the pins had been
moved since the last time I had played here.
Fairways were in decent shape and there is only one blind shot from the tee that
doglegs to the left.
Compared to other courses in the area this a much better value for the money.
Only complaint is I never see the cart girl before 10AM or after 3PM weekend or
weekday.
Other than that no complaints. Very capable course to play for the average
golfer with a few challenges for better players.

I play this course 2-4 times a month.
Greens can be a little hard.
Fairways are in good shape and fairly wide.
As long as the rough is cut down you will find all but the most erratic of tee
shots.
Good mix of challenging and standard holes. Only problem I have is having to
wait for slow golfers.
But if you call the clubhouse they will send a marshal and warn them and follow
then for a hole or 2 to make sure they play faster. Great deal for the money and
location.

I agree with the last 2 reviews about the pin placements.
I am also questioning why some people consider this a good value after leaving
it a bad review.
Value does not always equal $.
If you want a good value try Stonebridge and Fields Ferry.

Come on guys, what's up with the pin placements? It's been like this the last
three times we played.
All but two or three were 4 paces from the edge.
Paired with the slick greens, some approach putts went off the green.
At least this time the Blues Tees were not paired with the Blacks, as they
were two weeks ago.

As my name says I am an average golfer and not a touring pro.
I do not expect to hit every green or make every putt, but it would be
nice to to have to hit into Pro pin placements.
This is not a joke, but all but 3 pins were less than 4 paces from the edge of
the green.
This was compounded by the extremely hard green surfaces, which made you bump
and run every shot into the greens.
I think this is an up and coming course and for the money it is a still,
but be ready to play a different type of golf.

It is a great course for the money 38 bucks for 18 holes.
First hole is a little tricky playing through the power lines.
Greens are hard and fast so watch your putter but overall I will
continue to play here.

Played here on 6/29. Course is in good shape.
A few tee boxes are a little thin on grass but the aeration holes on the greens
seem to be filling in nicely,
with little or no sand remaining on them. The greens are hard as one
reviewer pointed out.
I think I repaired 1 or 2 of my ball marks the whole day.
Greens are rolling at a good speed. Not slow and not roll it off the green fast.
No cart girl today so service gets a "OK" rating.
Over all, one of my favorite courses for the dollar.

I played on 6/11/09 for LMTT fee of $27.
Some of the tee boxes were in bad shape (not much grass), but that did not
affect our play.
Most of the blue tees were moved back to the tips, or black tee boxes.
The additional distance made the course play long due to rain the night before.
The greens were in good shape, but were sandy and still had aeration marks.
The greens were surprisingly hard, so I recommend you plan shots for bump
and run from the front fringe.
I lost a few strokes from balls skipping off the green. I do recommend this
course
to my friends because of the low cost to play. You should give it a try.

Had tee time @ 11a, Sat. and was already 20 minutes behind even with the great
weather.
5+ hour round and we played through two groups.
For $38 on the weekend, not a bad deal but can be a chore waiting.
Come out and just keep up.
Nice layout, greens needed to fill in after aeration.

Great value for the money.
Greens need to fill in after being punched, other than that everything else is
good.
Understand this is not a country club, it is a public course,
and you may experience slow play or beginners on the course.
So be patient and just enjoy your time on the course.

Played Friday June 3rd 2009.
Greens still have punch marks, otherwise course is improving in shape.
Ranger kept pace of play at 4:10.
