About Us

Outdoor swimming pool area at Calhoun Elks Lodge & Golf Club.

Calhoun Elks Lodge 1883 sits on Craigtown Road NE and has been doing two things well for a long time: keeping golf accessible and keeping community alive. Pull up on a weekday morning and you'll find regulars loading bags onto carts before the Georgia heat kicks in, swapping stories the way only a lodge crowd does. The course plays relaxed, the prices stay reasonable, and the people are genuinely glad you showed up.

The 9-hole layout winds through ground that floods after a hard storm, which is just the honest truth about playing golf in the Georgia foothills. The greens can run bumpy after a wet stretch, and the fairways show their wear in the heat of August. But members and guests keep coming back because the atmosphere makes up for what the turf sometimes lacks. You are not paying country-club prices, and nobody expects country-club pretense.

The lodge side of the operation carries the full weight of Elks tradition, supporting veterans, local youth, and charitable causes throughout Gordon County. Open seven days a week from 8 a.m., this is the kind of place where a round of golf flows naturally into a cold drink and a conversation that lasts longer than you planned.

What We Offer

The golf course is the centerpiece, offering a laid-back round at a price point that lets you play more often without doing math first. Cart rentals are available, and tee times keep things moving without the stiff formality of bigger clubs. Mornings are popular, so arriving early on weekends gives you the best conditions the course has to offer.

Beyond the fairways, Elks Lodge 1883 hosts the full range of lodge programming: member meetings, charitable fundraisers, community events, and social gatherings that fill the calendar from spring through fall. The facility is available for private events, and the lodge bar provides a natural end to any round. Friday and Saturday hours run until 10 p.m., giving members plenty of time to settle in after a late afternoon nine.

Membership through the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks opens the door to national reciprocity at thousands of lodges across the country, making this Calhoun location a home base with reach well beyond Gordon County.

"It's a good deal for playing golf. The course is nice but some of the greens were a little rough. It has been a long hot summer and I bet the course will get better when it cools off a little. I am working up here for several more months so I will be back to play."

"Decent price. No signs telling you where the holes are. Spent too much time driving around trying to find the next hole. Course needs tons of work. Fairways were rough and greens were sandy, bumpy, and full of weeds. Group of 2 in front of us was taking way too long. No pace of play was enforced. Overall not the best course, but it’s one of the cheapest rounds available. Not sure if I’ll be coming back."

"We love golfing here because it’s a laid back course and the people are so nice. But the course itself needs some work. Unfortunately this course floods every time it storms so the greens are a mess and the restroom on the course is just disgusting. But it is fun course to play."

"It was flooded on most holes. I think they had 9 holes open between the front and back so I will give a better review the next time. I do know one thing you can't beat their price for an 18 hole course. I paid for 18 with a cart on the golf now app for less than it takes to play 9 with a cart at callier springs."
— Robert Hughes

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
