Callippe Preserve Golf Course

It was a pleasant round of golf. All three of my friends from Hong Kong enjoy playing this course saying it is one of the best Public Courses they have played in the Bay Area.

Played there several times. Poppy and Las Positas much better value, and better courses. Holes 10, and 18, besides being tough (ok to be tough) are so filled with trouble that they belong at Bridges. Food is terrible along with the little or no service. 2 waitresses were not seen for over 15 minutes. They don't have salsa! An air of superiority among many of the employees---although not the girl who checked us in at pro shop. The starter and marshall must think they are in Atherton and not Pleasanton. For anyone who shoots in 90s, go elsewhere.

Just overall a great experience. Course was in pretty good shape

The redesign of the 11th and 14th greens is a vast improvement over the old unfair design. The average hack actually can now hold the green on their approach.

A challenging course that is fun to play. Tees provide a challenge for all golfers. Greens are in good condition and require a challenging read. Ecological hazards can add strokes to your round. Sand traps were a bit "crunchy" due, I think, from new sand added and watered.

This is fun course. The front nine is pretty straightforward. The teeth come out in the back 9.

At times the greens can be a little rough, some are struggling with Poa Annua growing in. But, generally they are in good shape.

One annoyance here is the clubhouse continues to grow more intrusive. A couple months ago, they began requiring signatures for some sort of legal agreement on the first tee. Last time out I saw the started making an eight year old boy sign this agreement. I'm used to places requiring a cart agreement to be signed, but here they require walkers to sign too.

I also found that they do not make adjustments to walking rate at the course. Despite the fact that they do not offer walking rate tee times, they do not adjust down to walking rate at the course.

Callippe Preserve Golf Course is a beautiful hidden gem a few minutes south of Pleasanton, Ca.. The course was in fantastic condition for our round of golf today. As a twosome we were paired with two courteous and friendly singles. Located within a wonderful valley, protected from the wind, the layout for Callippe is both challenging and forgiving. A tremendous round of golf, at an affordable price ... heck yea I'll be back.

Course in usual excellent shape. Have leveled out previously impossible to hold greens on holes 11 & 14.

We had a great time. Some holes are a little confusing for someone playing there for the first time. Course is in excellent shape considering the drought.

Have played Callippe several times...but today the play was very slow. Not sure why because the front nine played at a good pace. I guess we caught the crowd on the back.

One of the better tracks in the tri valley. Always in great shape and a fair challenge.

Stunning views, challenging course, shape shots, greens were perfect, changing winds and wild life (deer) walk the course.

In my Top 10…. And I have played Pebble , Spyglass, Troon North, Doral, Robert Trent jones trail, Copperhead…..

The course was packed, we were playing as a twosome behind a foursome of women and in front of a foursome. We kept up the pace and stayed behind the group in front of us without hitting into them but the group behind us was dropping balls 10 - 20 yards from us until one hole when they were actually hitting onto the green while we were still putting. We only played 6 holes and got our money back but it is doubtful we will return.

The course was in relatively good shape, though the greens were slower than I was expecting for this time of year and water conditions.

Course still has issues with pace of play, no matter than time or day of the week. Besides being told when I checked in with the starter that there were two marshals out on the course, didn't see anyone during the entire time. Bottlenecks on this course is easy to figure out (1, 4, 6, 9, 10, 15, 16, 18) and the gaps were easy to spot. Still don't get why this course doesn't prod groups to speed up to catch the groups they've fallen behind on.

My first time ever playing this course. It will not be the last. I was doing good until I got to the last hole. OMG. I'll be more careful next time.

Aeration is done. A couple greens are still bumpy. Other than that, the entire course is in very good shape. The group in front and the group before them were taking their time but that's expected at a beautiful and challenging course.

Price was better than normal and when I got there I found out why. Greens had just been punched so putting was not good. Why was this not noted on Golf Now? I would have played another course if I had known. Tee to green course was in good shape though.

I was excited to finally play here, and I drove an hour and a half to get there to find out the greens were aerated. I understand that this is necessary, but they need to notify people that the greens are unplayable before they decide to drive all the way there. The course was very attractive and challenging, but the groups we got stuck behind were painfully clueless and slow. Why do slow golfers never admit they're slow?!? Saying you' were waiting for the group ahead is kinda stupid when there's a hole and a half open in front of you. Seems to be no escape from idiots these days.
Back to the greens, they were not bumpy, they were completely unplayable. Again, if the pros there had a little integrity or appreciation for their customers, they would have mentioned it. Will never go back, and will tell everyone I know not to bother.

Very nice course. Got a good deal on Golf Now but when we arrived at the course we were informed that the greens were airated a few days ago. It would have been nice to have know about the greens being airated I would not have booked the round.

We played right after they punched the greens so they were very bumpy but the rest of the course is in great shape. Also something going on in the back nine so we played the front twice. If memory serves, the back is a little more difficult than the front.

Because of the issues above, we got a great rate.

Staff were very friendly.
