Callippe Preserve Golf Course

For the life of me, I do not understand why you set the tee times in 8 minute increments and then have no Marshall miles to be found. Literally every hole you have to wait for 2 groups and cannot get off the course in under 5 and a half hours. I’ve teed off several times now on weekdays anywhere between 11-2 and have never been able to avoid a 5 and a half hour round. I played on a Sunday two weeks ago and then round was 6 hours and 15 minutes…you guys have got to figure this out

As most know, this is a great course at a fair price. Course conditions were excellent with exception of the bunkers which were dirt and mud - they need some attention. Greens were in very good condition but not scary fast like they can be sometimes. Pace of play was OK - 4.5 hours, but it was 7:00am tee time so still relatively slow for that hour.

I’ve played Callippe multiple times, and the front nine is completely different from the back nine in terms of layout. Personally, I prefer the back nine. However, it’s always significantly slower in terms of pace of play. Overall, it’s a very good course in the area, and it was in great shape. Expect around 5 hours round in the afternoon.

Called the pro shop because I was in a twosome behind a foursome with one walker. (My twosome and I rode). We waiting on every tee box and even teed off late! Finally after waiting on every hole I called the pro shop on the tee box of hole 11. Asked about the pace of play and even told them our cart number. Still no Marshall or pace warning anywhere. There were 4 pre-teens working outside near the starters booth and a young man inside the pro shop. I went in and told him how awful today was. I wasn’t expecting a refund or special treatment, but the gentleman in the pro shop couldn’t have cared less. Overall, if you want a normal pace of play not clogged up by elderly people. Don’t come here.

Pace of play was absolutely terrible for a Thursday. 6 hrs to play 18 and not once ever seeing a marshall. The tee boxes were covered with divots. Fairways and greens were in decent shape.

Best bang for your buck, hidden gem. If the bridges golf course and poppy ridge had a baby, it would be Callippee.

This course literally had the worst green conditions I have every seen

The greens were punched 3 1/2 weeks ago

But they look and feel like they were punched yesterday.

The fact that this course is not disclosing the fact that greens are in unplayable conditions to patrons says a lot about the poor management

On top of the greens being completely unplayable the round took 6 hours on a Monday early afternoon tee time

Zero Marshalls in site

There was a two group wait on every hole

This is unacceptable anytime but for a Monday 12:30 tee time comeon

I would fire everyone working at this course because the incompetence ranges from green keepers to management

I will never play this course again

This is one of busiest courses in the Bay Area, especially on holidays. Gets really backed up in the afternoon and evenings on weekends and Fridays.

We played this Easter and there was no warden to call when we were backed up for 20 minutes and everyone just figured it out on their own. People started playing random holes at twilight times or just played the first 9 twice.

Overall it’s a really nice course and well maintained. I would say it’s up to pristine condition on most holes. They do start the sprinklers once it hits 7 on the holes.

Fourth cancelled advised proshop told no problem then later charged -BAD BUSINESS!! As first time at course this happened worst was not being advised prior to booking that greens had been punched again BAD BUSINESS! Definitely will not be back here again as such
