5.5 Hour Round

I don't understand how Callippe sends people out in 10 minute intervals only to have MANY tee boxes stacked up three groups deep. Our round today (Saturday) in perfect weather was 5 hours and 26 minutes. Several groups ahead of us we saw empty holes, but no marshalls the entire round to help.

Such a beautiful location, but never play this course on a weekend if you value your time and sanity.

Beautiful & well maintained

Course is in great shape (March ‘25). Weekday rate is a great value for the Bay Area. Lots of beautiful holes. Walked with a push cart, which was a good workout

Tough but Fun

Callippe Preserve is a tough track but definitely fun to play. It’s target golf for sure but with all
Of the elevation changes, forced carries and danger side to side it’s far from boring golf. This track will keep you on your toes. Conditions are always nice and even in mid Winter shape it’s still worth the price. Pace of play is always slow but the tough track probably has a lot to do with that.

Love the course

I love this course, but the pace of play is slow. Waited all day to hit tee shots and approach shots. Would still play here, though tee times every ten minutes back the course up.

6 hour round?!?!????

I chose to play the course knowing they overbook and get slow during the late mornings especially on the weekends, but I was not prepared for today.

We started out strong, teed off on time at 11:30 am. Then it was all down hill from there. 1 hour thru 3 holes. There was a 3 group back up at hole #4.

It took 2 hours and 45 mins to finish the front nine. Hoping others would drop out at the turn, boy was I wrong. At hole #10 there was another 4 group back up. I parked my cart went into the bar and was able to order drinks and a hot meal from the kitchen before teeing off.

From Hole 15 till the end, it was nearly a 5 mins wait per shot. I wished the Marshall out there would enforce the pace of play a little more. Or maybe the course should increase the gapping between tee times. Played my fair share of slow golf but this round takes the cake.

I like golf but 6 hour rounds is brutal.
