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 course, very good conditions

This is a fun course and it’s in good condition for mid-February. All the holes are fun to play except #11 which is unduly uphill!

Challenging but Fun

It’s been a while since I’ve played here but I always enjoy this layout. Naturally with all the rain the fairways are still damp and it’s cart path only. Still the course was playable and enjoyable.

I played in the afternoon and the back nine got really backed up so we opted to play the front nine twice. Greens initially rolled smooth at a medium fast pace. By late afternoon they were a bit bumpy and had slowed down some.

Highly recommended

Pace of play

It’s crazy to have a 7:10 tee time and finish at 12:25. Pace of play was not upheld and it was a very long round. Would love to play this course again but this is the second 5 + hour round when having an early tee time.

Longest 18 holes ever

We had to tee off 15 min late because they were backed up and then we proceeded to play a round that took over 5 hours. We had to wait for every single shot. It's a nice course, but man they need to do something about pace of play.
