Located less than an hour east of San Francisco, the Course at Wente Vineyards sprawls across the lush, rolling hills of Livermore Valley. Greg Norman carefully crafted the golf course, creating one of northern California's most challenging layouts. The course incorporates three different landscapes: woodlands, grassy meadows, and mature vineyards. All throughout the golf course though, golfers will be faced with dramatic elevation changes that cause tricky uneven lies but that also means there are panoramic views to be enjoyed on almost every hole. The fairways and landing areas are narrow and require good club management. The prevailing winds add another challenging element to the course. The Course at Wente Vineyards' back nine holes are more demanding with the par 3s being especially memorable. It is a tough but fair round that will reward proper club selection and strategy.

They allow members to play a 5some
Pace of play was really bad . They wouldnt let us go past the 5 some. The 5 some were members and i guess if your a member then you can bend the rules. The round took 5.5 hours for us. Course is nice but be willing to stay for some time if you come here . Conditions are good and staff but marshall wouldnt help us on speed of play.
