Callippe Preserve Golf Club

Callippe Preserve Golf Club occupies rolling terrain in Pleasanton, California, within the Tri-Valley region east of the San Francisco Bay Area. Designed by Brian Costello and opened in the mid-2000s, the course was developed as part of a residential community and serves as a daily-fee facility. The property takes its name from the Callippe family, early settlers in the Pleasanton area, and the routing makes use of the natural topography characteristic of the East Bay foothills—gentle to moderate elevation changes, native oak trees, and open grassland corridors. The layout incorporates environmental preservation areas and wetland zones, reflecting California's habitat protection standards for modern golf development. The design balances accessibility for recreational play with strategic interest, using natural contours and native vegetation to define playing corridors and frame green complexes. Water features appear on several holes, and the bunkering style follows contemporary shaping trends common to Northern California courses built in this era. Callippe Preserve functions primarily as a public-access course serving the Pleasanton and Tri-Valley golf market. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse with food and beverage service typical of daily-fee operations in the region. The course provides views of the surrounding hills and valley landscape, and its conditioning and playability reflect the management priorities of a municipal-style facility in a competitive Bay Area golf market.
