Great layout, great views!
Fairways shaggy, overwatered.
Greens shaggy and slow.
Great round of golf
The weather was perfect and the setting spectacular. Just the kind of round that will help my wife golf more with me. We both loved it.
$100+ no snack shop/no cart girl
So my main complaint on this really cool track is; you pay $150 and while a live concert &10 food trucks are happening at the vineyard I'm making the turn on a 4.5hr round; no snack bar, no cart person....horrible. Wente GM, figure it out dude.
Current Price Point Is High
First of all this a great course when the grounds superintendent is on his game!
I played early morning (7:30am) and the course everywhere ball landed received zero roll. Multiple times with tee shots the ball plugged which indicated to me over saturation on the course. Fairways were a bit mushy. I have seen this course at it extreme best and currently I would not pay what did to play! #16is going through some transformation do to the past rains received early in the year and it has made the that hole terrible to play from the middle of the fairway at 225 yards. The 9th hole snack shack was not open and that seems to be the normal reoccurring theme on this course. For the price point, with the course lacking a beverage /food cart and a no 9th hole shack was actually very disappointing. I will try this course again once it appears conditions have bettered.
Back after long layoff from Wente
It’s been a long time since I last played at Wente. Long enough that I really couldn’t remember but 1 hole. What I found was a good conditioned course that I felt was a little overpriced. Would I comeback to play it any again … sure, but I won’t be rushing back. Maybe if the fees were around 25% cheaper, I’d find myself playing it more.
Very nice course.
Course in great location and in great shape. Only negative is there was a land slide sometime in the past that damaged 16th tee which is being re-developed. Otherwise, very enjoyable round of golf.
Team play
I went there by myself and joined two other singles.
We were similar level .
I have a good round.
A Bay area go to
You will not be disappointed with this course. Great golf and carts with gps distance displayed…
Great Layout
I’ve heard a lot about this place so I was eager to see if it lived up to its billing. First off, I’ll address getting there. Plan your tee time accordingly to traffic. What should have taken me 25 minutes took just under an hour due to Friday traffic. Lessened learned on that one.
As far as the layout, this course is awesome. Plenty of grip it and rip holes with elevation changes and wide landing areas to build up the confidence, but then there are some short par 4’s that require precision off the tee with an iron. It also has a good mixture of par 3’s. As far as layout is concerned it checked all the boxes. The switch back climb from the 9th green to the 10th tee box which was reminiscent of Alpe D’Huez was fun in a cart but all but guarantees that you can’t walk this course (and still enjoy it).
Condition wise the course was fine. Somewhere between above average and top notch. Greens rolled smooth at a medium + pace. Greens were pretty docile as far as challenge goes. Most were single tier with modest slope. Or maybe my putter was just that good (27 putts total). Fairways were excellent, Nice and lush with great coverage throughout. Tee boxes and sand traps were ok. Nothing spectacular but nothing to complain about.
Customer service - Sucked. I gave it 2 stars for customer service and that was due to the bag attendant being great. The pro shop on the other hand was horrible. They were put out by the fact that I needed change (so I could tip the bag attendant) and looked down at me because I didn’t know the exact time of my tee time. I guess it’s too much trouble to look at the computer. Anyway, for that reason alone, I opted not to buy a shirt in the pro shop.
For layout and conditions, the track is worth playing. For price and customer service, I’d skip it. Not sure if I’ll ever play it again, but if I do it’ll likely be because a friend has invited me.
Grumpy staff, great course
Came in 40 minutes early for my tee time and sat in the restaurant to take a quick work call. The server came by and gave our group some serious attitude for not wanting to order and swiftly took our menus away with a snarky comment. We felt bad so we ended up ordering tea forcefully just to not sit there. Before we left the restaurant, we overheard the server making a comment about us to another coworker who made eye contact with me with a smirk, while folding silverware. Great course though.
Great golf venue
Really friendly staff both at sign up and on course
Played with a couple of locals who also made the day enjoyable.
