Beautiful views. Very nice course

This was our first time playing at Callipe. The course was very nice. It was very hot and it would have been nice to have somebody offering drinks on course, but we did stop after the ninth hole to pick up some drinks. We will be back

Not what it used to be

This course used to be great. Not any more. Pace of play is incredibly slow. Last round I left after 3.5 hour front nine. Round before that was 1 hr tee delay because they "overbooked" and ran out of carts. Course conditions are getting worse also. Beware of the bunkers as there is a thin layer of sand covering all kinds of rocks. (see pics)

Fairways in bad conditions

This is my favorite course in all of tri valley. Greens were phenomenal but the fairways were brown and shotty. Lots of dirt patches. Had terrible ball placement on dirt with no grass.

Are you kidding me?

I play Callippe at least once a month, usually a tad more. The kids in the clubhouse have become increasingly obnoxious over the years. I booked using Golfnow and couldn’t make my tee time as my wife is ill. I called to cancel 14 hours in advance and was told no dice. I’d be charged for the time and I’m sure with a early tee time they filled it as well. Not sure if I’ll ever play there again.

Nice Course even w/Slow Play

The staff was accommodating with me getting on the course a little ahead of my scheduled TEE time. I did get stuck behind two SLOW foursomes which turned my round into a 5:10 hour round. I guess that is the most frustrating aspect of that part of golf. I was a single, so the two some behind me joined. Even so, we waited so long on each tee box. Overall, I would play the course again, but I would make sure my schedule is open just in case history repeats. The weather was kind of hot, which makes patience more of a challenge.

SLOW PLAY

Slowest playing course in Bay Area

This is during week. Don’t even think of playing in 5 hrs on weekends. It already plays 5 hrs during week. 4 hrs is acceptable. 4.5 is not

Great people. Foods good. Course is one of best in area. If you are a sloooowwww player. By all means play. They are looking for you. If you are a 30 handicap. You won’t even notice. Too bad mgmt doesn’t listen

Oh. Also if you are not a pleasanton resident. They don’t want you. Ulless your loaded with money and lots of time. Guys /Gals are great in shop. And restaurant

Well-maintained course & relaxing atmosphere

Had a Monday afternoon tee time and the pace of play was great (practically no waiting at all on any of the holes). The fairways and greens were well-maintained as usual. Afterwards (close to 6 pm) went to their restaurant for a bite; the food menu was limited to hotdogs but at least the drink menu wasn’t. :-)

Slow Play

It took 3 hours to play the back nine. We started on this nine because the front had some issues. There was no marshal and thus the pace of play was really slow. Also, it was a very hot day, and there was no water on the course other than at the clubhouse. I only played nine because I had an appointment later and the pace of play made it so I needed to quit early. I also got no compensation for playing only nine hole when I paid for 18. Finally, I was a bit hesitant in sharing a cart with a stranger with all the Covid concerns. They were not accommodating on this either. Overall, it was not a memorable experience.
