Decent course but greens rough

Teh course overall was in decent shape. There were some less than green areas but that is to be expected when conserving water. My big complaint is that players were not repairing their ball marks so the greens were getting beat up and very bumpy. our group was repairing as we go but players need to learn more than just how to hit a ball. Maintaining a course is the players responsibility as well as the course staff.

A Bay Area favorite shines bright

As a former resident of Pleasanton, I try to get in a round there whenever I visit. The course did not disappoint as it is in fantastic condition. The greens are in the best shape I can remember. It is a tough layout that will challenge any golfer. Shots on this course require some thought or you will be looking for balls or hitting extra shots. This can contribute to the pace of play. Not a problem when we played as we were finished in 3 and 1/2 hours. The restaurant food is very good and they have several nice craft beers on tap. All of these good things and it cost me $20. It doesn't get better than this.

Course was fine, but the staff.....

Ive played this course many times. It's a fun & challenging track. My only issue is the food service staff. The last few times, with yesterday being the latest, they seem out of touch & rude. How wants to deal with a rude person at the turn or after the round. It's mainly Melanie, she seems to not want to be there & projects it loudly.

Enjoy the course, but avoid the restaurant if you don't want to risk being thrown completely off your game by someone that hasn't made a single birdie.

I've had horrible back nines because I think it's crazy to deal with rudeness while spending my hard earned $. Thanks, but no thanks.

Great condition's

The course was in great shape, greens were excellent, layout is what Callippe is all about!

The only problem was the pace of play and too many groups out too fast!

I think the management needs to address this ASAP !

The course design encourages slow play with its short par 4s and pat 5. That accompanied with sending groups out every 8 minutes is a recipe for 5+ hour rounds.

Perfect Conditions

First time playing this challenging course to a mid handicapper, but played with 2 guys who had been there before and of course the in cart GPS helps a lot. Beautiful course, views, greens, tee areas all in pristine condition after nice wet winter but rough all cut down so can find loose balls. 18th hole finally got me but played 17 well just have to remember to hit those uphill putts much harder.

Play The Same Nine Twice

Turns out the pricing was good, playing the front nine twice was bad - never have I paid a lower price during an aeration process and played the same nine twice. Poor policy, won't be playing at this course any time soon!

Very challenge but if you hit good shots, you really feel good about it at this course!

Everything was great but for a Mon, it took almost 6hrs to play! Tee off at 1052(maybe close to 11)and finish at 445p.....plus group behind us hit into us 3 times---one went over my head!!! There was no where to go as we were keeping up with group in front--finally had to yell at them--couple of young fellows...

Great Course, Tough Greens

The course is beautiful, in a peaceful surrounding. Course conditions were very good. Be prepared for tough putting as the greens undulate at extremes and when I played, some pin placements were on crests.

Need Local Knowledge

Callippe Preserve is a very challenging course. You need to play it several times to know how to play it and where everything is. The course and the greens were in very good shape. There is plenty of undulations on these greens. The front side plays easier than the back side. There are plenty of carries over creeks and steep hills. The course requires some careful shot placement. The natural areas are closed to golfers, so you can't look for your wayward shot.

The weather was excellent the day we played and the hills were green. Very nice.

Be sure you look at the 18th fairway from the first tee. The information will come in handy.

Watch out for the old man on the 16th hole!

Pace of play was excellent and golf course is in good conditioned. This golf course requires controlled shot from your tee and to you approach also helps knowing where not to miss the green otherwise your short game will be challenge. The golf experience was excellent until we've reach the 16th hole when a marshal warned us to park carts on the designated area only. This cart path is also a private driveway of an extremely rude & confrontational old man so watch out!

2nd half is more difficult

I got more than 5 roundings here.
This course is not for beginners. There are a lot of hazards, creeks, up & downs that even bogies cannot manipulate well. Greens have various undulation.
Especially, 2nd half is much more difficult. You may have 2~5 more hits than the 1st 9.
My overall evaluation of this course is saying as good as Tournament of Coyote or even Cinnabar Hills(Cinnabar is somewhat better).
