The Callippe Preserve Hiking Trail surrounds Callippe Preserve Golf Course and some of the home sites. The trail meanders under large Heritage oak trees, over vast graze land, and along the golf course. Many forms of wildlife may be seen from the trails, including deer, squirrels, raccoons, foxes and other furry friends. Bird Watchers will love the views and sights, as many species of birds, including hawks, vultures, and turkeys, are very active in the area. The trail also borders areas designated for species preservation of the endangered Callippe Silverspot Butterfly. The trail provides beautiful views of the surrounding hills, Pleasanton Ridge, Mount Diablo, and the golf course below. The trail head is located behind golf course parking lot (8500 Clubhouse Drive in Pleasanton) and meanders west (behind the 18th green).
There is plenty of parking and the golf course hosts a restaurant and bar for refreshments, hiking snacks, or a post-hike meal! At one point, the trail stops at Happy Valley Road. Hikers need to walk along the side of Westbridge road up toward the water tower, and reenter the trail system. The un-paved trail is well-maintained and is fairly flat. There are some slight elevation changes, so beginner and moderate hikers alike can enjoy this 3.5 mile beautiful hike! Bicycles are not permitted on the trails. Dogs must be on leashes.

Callippe Preserve Golf Course presents, "SHADOW GOLF"
a way for new or beginner golfers to learn the game of golf in a non pressure environment with the help of a pre qualified experienced golfer.
Experienced players may register at Callippe Preserve Golf Course and then can bring out new golfers (family, friends, business partners etc) and teach them the "ins and outs" of the golf experience. (From making a tee time, to checking in, driving a cart, basic rules and etiquette.)
The experienced player will mentor the new player and will receive discounted rates during specific "Shadow Golf" hours. The "Shadow Golf" participants will play a two person scramble to help take pressure off the new player. Once on the green the new player will putt his own ball. (After 3 putts the new player will pick up his ball.)
The "new player" needs to have some golf experience, and be able to strike the ball with some consistency. If the player is new to the game they will have to take lessons from a qualified professional before they are able to participate in "Shadow Golf".
"Shadow Golf" is about making the golf experience from start to finish easier for a new golfer; it is NOT in place to have the experienced player teach the new golfer.
If you are interested in joining this new Innovative method of introducing new players to the game contact Mike Ash General Manager of Callippe Preserve Golf Course.
