Callippe Preserve Golf Course

The course was in great shape, but with our 9:10 tee time we did not tee off until 9:25, and waited on almost every shot all day long.

My friends and I play Callippe quite a bit and we like playing there because the course conditions are always on point...especially the greens, and the golf course is a favorite because of the challenge to create shots. The staff are consistently delivering the type of service every golfer expects, prompt, courteous, and respectful. Thats why I keep coming back!

Very nice course conditions every time I have played here. Caught a golfnow deal so it was a good bargain. Interesting course that makes you think on almost every single shot. I will play here more often, using the golfnow deals.

Staff was very nice. Course was in good shape, a little wet on hole #1. Not a course for beginners. Many blind shots and areas that you must be able to carry or your score will be higher than you like.

Would play this course again now that I have seen the layout.

First time playing the course. As other reviews noted, playing with others who have played the course was extremely helpful. Lots of blind greens and crossings. They were getting the course ready for a tourney and they were doing a good job of watering (too much?). The fairways and greens were in really good shape. Super good deal for $36 with a cart. Some of the bunkers were super wet but others (I found too many of them lol) were good and the ball came out well.

Good layout with some variations.

Unpleasant experience with drunken golfers behind us.

horrible pace of play no marshall in sight.. they were 20 mins behind

This is a challenge for a bogey handicapper such as myself. It helps to have someone with you that has played here previously, some of the holes are tricky to navigate. Also, bring a few extra balls - lots of opportunities to lose some along the way with all of the 'environmental areas' on every hole. Bring your A game!

Course was in excellent shape ! Being able to know where to put your ball off of the tee and on the green will save you a lot of strokes. First time I played this course I thought it was almost unfair but now on my third round you really learn the course and it becomes a true players design. Live in St Louis and visit here every year and Callippe will always be on my play list.

Probably the best muni in the Bay Area. Gorgeous setting.... challenging but fair layout...great course conditions

Played in 5 hours. I get Bay Area weekend play but, 4 some in front of us was not playing ready golf which didn't help. Marshalls comment about "just a lot of people on course" didn't make sense. Isn't their job to ensure people are playing ready golf on busy days?

Walking should no be allowed on this course.It is too long and has too many elevation changes. People who walk simply slow everything down.

Location it is on top of hill so little bit of out of the way driving is necessary, overall experience is good.

The threesome that joined me on one had already played the front, decided to not wait another three and a half hours to play back nine. 7 hours to play a round of golf? TOTALLY NOT ACCEPTABLE. But, since I know that this course has been slow since day one, I come out late and play the front twice, get in 18 holes and I'm good with it. Do not expect to tee off near 2pm and expect to finish 18. You will have a six hour round. Great views of valley and no noise from cars or p[lanes. Good course, good layout, long day if you want to play 18. Its been the same since 2005. Good for them, making money in this business has been tough on some courses closing and all, must be nice to squeeze in every golfer. This place is not hurting for business.
