The Course at Wente Vineyards
About
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.

Golfer Reviews
Free driving range with reservation
Great views, weather was perfect..overall a fantastic day
I want to play here again!
Great Tuesday afternoon tee time on a beautiful sunny day. The restaurant/bar was open and had wi-fi so I was able to work for a while before my round of golf. I was out on the course solo with a cart and the round went pretty smoothly.
Overall the course was in really good condition and the greens were fair (not too slow, not too fast) but there were quite a few I repaired divots that could have been better. The fairways were in really nice condition as well and the rough areas weren’t difficult to get out of.
My chief complaint was the group of 4 guys behind me that were extremely loud and had a speaker playing music at a volume that was disturbing and nothing was done about it and I could hear it from a couple of hundred yards away.
I’d love to play this course again but perhaps a bit earlier in the day to make sure I catch the restaurant before they close at 6pm because all the carts have to be back by 7pm.
No Food
I had family in town and I thought this course would be fun and it looked nice. We got to hole #9 and called in for food and they said the cook was not ready it was 10:30 am. Disappointed. They need to fix that.
Nice course
Very nice course but a bit pricey and hot in the summer
Lovely Course with Minor Drawbacks
The Course at Wente is my favorite golf course in our area although the price limits how often I play there. The course was in excellent condition on our date of play (16 Aug 22). There were a couple of aspects that detracted from the experience this time. First, the surrounding vineyards have been set up with loud and irritating bird noises to discourage birds from eating the grapes. I understand why the vineyard management has to do this, but it is irritating for birds and golfers alike. I expect the noise makers are in use only during the time when the birds want to eat the grapes. The second drawback is that the grill and bar closed quite early (3:00 and 5:00 respectively) on the day we played. Finally, the driving range closed at 2:30 which meant we were not able to use it.
Very nice but…
Very nice but not worth the regular price tag of $150+ if you can get a deal on a tee time take it otherwise their are other courses in the area just as nice or slightly less nice for half the price. For the price they are charging this course should be immaculate and it’s not. The course layout is nice with some interesting holes and some extreme elevation change which makes for great views with vineyards all over, IMO you’re paying for the views on this course rather than the conditions. I would recommend this course if you can find a deal on a tee time otherwise check out other courses in the area.
Fantastic Track!
This course has a tee box for every level. Definitely an interesting layout and will not disappoint! This is definitely a challenging track coming from a plus index person. Love this course and it was a venue for lower level/development tour events!
One of the best in the Bay Area
I’m and avid golfer and play 3 rounds a week. Wente is one of the top 3 courses to play in the Bay Area. Love the challenging course and how it winds in and out of the hills.
