Callippe Preserve Golf Course

First time playing all 18 holes. Played the back nine a year and a half ago. Got a good deal on Golfnow so went down and played. The course was in great condition, actually had sand in the traps I went into. Back nine is totally different from the front nine. Nice layout and I played with another twosome, father and son, the father plays here often and I got some good tips. If you haven't played here before you need some course knowledge, some holes you need to hit to some areas. The only thing was slow play. We were a threesome and the group in front were a foursome with three walkers. They weren't the problem, just slow play in front of them. Took almost 5 hours but I really enjoyed the course and will play it again.

The course was a good playing course which challenged my skills. The only thing which caught me off guard was that the clubhouse staff was not as friendly as I expected. I had asked since there were open gaps prior to my tee time (at least half hour). I thought they would let me out earlier but they sent me out exactly on my tee time. Logically, it was not a welcoming customer experience.

Pace of play was super slow, 24 minutes on one tee box waiting.

3 hours to play front 9; sometimes 4 groups on each hole. Not sure if they send out too many groups or the golfers don't understand proper pace of play rules. More than one Marshall would help.

The rainy season has worked its magic on Callippe. The course is in lush conditions compared to the dry summer and fall seasons. This is a perpetual favorite for my golf buddies when we're looking to escape the Bay Area.

We usually go for the twilight rates for the value, but it can be slow - I don't think we've ever finished a round under 5 hours. Not sure what it's like after they've been freshly cut in the morning, but the greens were bumpy at times. Our group struggled more than usual from the 4-6 ft range.

Really wish they would redo the practice green near the first tee! It's way too much slope to be of practical use. Just one minor on course suggestion to flatten the black/blue tee box on 16 so we aren't forced to play a draw or fade :)

Tee off at 3 by 7.30 we got to the 16th. 15 holes in 4 1/2 hr is not fun.

With all the rain we've had the course is in good condition. The greens were in great shape. The only problem with the course was none of the bunkers have been raked after the rain. Other than that it was a great round.

Great condition especially after 3 days of heavy rain!

Its a nice course that is well kept with challenging greens but it is by far the slowest course in the bay. I have played this course no less that 10 times and have never gotten out under 5 hours. I haven't played it in a while and decided to give it a try on a Tuesday morning in January.. Yup.. Still 5 hours ans 10 minutes. On the weekends.. Forget about it!

This is an interesting trek and the back 9 by far better then the front.Problem is play is notoriously slow and even if you call the clubhouse and they send someone out it doesn't change anything.This last time out we were behind a twosome that was behind a fivesome that was behind a sixsome,I called the front desk he broke them up into two threesomes and a twosome and a threesome and in two holes they were back to how they were....our round 5 hours 40 mins and we didn't finish the 18th hole.So would I recommend this course....well if you have never played it, it is a great track and worth playing.Can I mindfully knowing the ridiculous time frame recommend it to a friend hard call probably not.There are too many great course out there that you can get a far better deal on that are as good or better with a 4 1/2 hour time frame like The Bridges that I would have to recommend instead.

Staff in pro shop and restaurant were top notch. Food and drinks were good, but wished that there was a cart that came around with hot coffee or drinks because it was so cold outside.

Course was in pretty good condition considering all the recent rain. But it was a slow round, we were waiting on shots most of the day.

I always recommend Callippe to friends as a place with a good layout, friendly staff, and good prices.

This course is pretty fun starts off easy and by 18 its a challenge. Staff was good, lady in the bar could have been a little better but the starter was really cool.

Course is in decent shape greens slowly get back to how they normal are. If you can get a decent price worth playing.

Great layout and really fun to play. Pace was average for a Sunday tee time 41/2 hrs to get around. The only draw back are the greens they were a bit too bumpy Great value and really nice layout with the back nine the highlight of the course

I will definitely give this track another go round.

Friendly staff had a great time and would definitely recommend this cource.
