Callippe Preserve Trail

This hidden little gem is a great way to enjoy playing golf. It feels more like country club setting then a typical public course. The club house is nice good for picking up some new stuff. The restaurant and bar is good and very quick and fast. Playing 18 holes feels good lots of challenges on the front and back nine specially the last hole in the back nine lots of challenges. It’s a very reasonable price golf course. The carts have navigation clean and plenty of getup and go for up the hills. So go ahead and setup a teatime and enjoy the beautiful Pleasanton rolling hills. Keep on going guys and I’m coming soon to play again.

Claudia and the entire Callippe Staff did an amazing job for our wedding back in March. Food was second to none! Service was fantastic. Venue for the price. Best value in the area by far compared to others. Especially if you want a GREAT view. I would highly recommend Callippe for weddings, events, meetings, or any group outing where you want great food, great service and a great view! Thanks Claudia, Tiffany and the staff for making it an amazing day!

The entrance to the trail is a bit hidden.
I don’t think I would’ve been able to find it if it wasn’t for a couple of people in hiking gear that I followed, I probably wouldn’t have found it.
Okay, so here is the clearest directions I can give to the entrance.
Head towards the clubhouse or venue where it looks like people can hold receptions.
Go down the concrete driveway & keep going straight until you see a little sign that says «Callippe Trail» & it states a bunch of rules for the trail.
I took the trail to the right, I didn’t see the trail on the left until I was walking back.
The trail has certain spots where you are hiking right by the holes so you have to be extra quiet if that’s the case.
There are shady parts of the trails so it isn’t too bad. The trail is enough for a one person single file line, so if you’re going to hike with someone, they will be either behind you or in front of you.
The trail ends at the entrance of a neighborhood, it’s weird. I was so confused. I just turned around & went back to where I was parked. I guess you’re walking on the sidewalk half the time? I don’t know, still confused.
I’ll be back, just to see what the other trail has to offer :)

Nice hiking trail. Roads are somewhat narrow. We brought a jogger stroller for little one, but it give one a nice exercise pushing it up and down hills. Also, there are horses walking too so be prepared to share the road. Views are amazing. Park all the way in the back of golf course and head of trail is hidden on right side of parking lot

This is a nice relatively short mixed trail which encircles the Callippe Preserve golf course. The total loop is only about 4 miles and you can easily fit in a couple of laps with a nice run. Most of the loop is off-​road but you do have a brief stretch of pavement to complete the loop. The loop is relatively flat, with limited elevation changes. In terms of difficulty, this trail is perfect for beginners and intermediate enthusiasts. The trails are fairly quiet and there’s plenty of wildlife to see (i.e. deer, birds, butterflies, etc.). Weekend mornings are the busiest time, relatively speaking, with other hikers and trail runners frequenting the trail. Unfortunately, mountain bikes are prohibited from the trails, but bikers can easily head down the road to Pleasanton Ridge for some off-​road riding.
