Still Slow give it a week

Greens are still recovering from

Spring aeration I’d say they are about 10 days out from being fully recovered. Right now they are rolling slow and a bit bumpy. Speaking of slow the pace of play is always on the slow side. Most rounds are in the 5-5+ hour range. This includes mid week rounds.

The rest of the course is in nice shape. It’s a fun and challenging layout.

If you want to play for 5+ hours, this is the course for you!

I have not played Callippe under 5 hours in the 4 times I have gone. I normally play on a monday or a weekday and pace of play is just terrible. Great layout, great course but pace is absurd. Played Monday 4/29/24 and the round took 6 hours.

Good course but slow play

This is a good course but just be ready for a 5 hr round. On the weekends could get to 5 1/2 hrs or more.

Great views

This course is great a little challenging but a must play. They had just aerated the greens the week before really bad condition obviously once that’s done the course will be very nice. Week day rounds for only $49 great value views of multi million dollar houses and the hills. Pace of play was a bit slow after the turn, but that seems like about everywhere these days.

Tough & Fun Track, but slow

This layout is tough yet fun to play. Set on a hillside, there’s plenty of elevation changes throughout the entire course. Course runs north/south with the slope so there’s no real awkward stance and remaining in the fairway if you hit it is almost guaranteed. With that said if you miss your shot to the side it’s pretty much gone.

Greens are a great balance between challenging yet very playable. They roll smooth at a perfect medium fast pace. What isn’t fast is the pace of play. 5 hours for a late afternoon mid week round

Other than that it’s a great course with great service

Beautiful Views but Slow Play

Calippe is surrounded by gorgeous scenery - everywhere you look is breathtaking, especially when it’s all green. Fairways, Greens & Tee boxes are in pretty good shape & traps have enough sand in them. Pace of play is horrible. No Marshall means players can take their sweet time & nobody says boo. What should be 4 hours or less can easily push 5+ hours. If they added a Marshall or 2, I’d be back.
