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
Nice course but too much “monitoring”
One of my favorites courses but a little annoyed with the tracking and monitoring of the golf cart & cell phone..
I got a warning messages on using cell phone while driving multiple times even when I didn’t use it. The area where carts are not allowed should be on an honor system and not monitored for this caliber of golf course.
Best golf course
It was the best weather to play at the vineyards. The courses had many bunkers, but fewer in the back nine which was great. It had the best fairways to play your woods. Definitely coming to play more pars!
Absolutely amazing course
This is the most beautiful and interesting course I have ever played. The layout is so varied, and teeing off among the vines is magical. The pretty extreme elevation changes keep things really challenging and novel for every single hole.
The staff is alright...some were not the friendliest, including the Course Marshall who was unfriendly right from the get-go. It's an expensive course, and by and large it felt like a luxurious golf experience. The Grill had great food and views, and their own Wines are inexpensive but really good.
Great day except
Wonderful course except the carts are set that you can’t leave the assigned hole to use the rest room without having to back track completely on the cart path, have you seen the back 9? Tried to cut across 16 to use restroom- nightmare
Great course
I played Wente with my friend today. Course is in great shape. Must play there if you haven’t.

This is one of the best courses in Northern California if not the best
Challenging upscale golf
Like most courses, enjoyment related to pace of play. On this day I was with another golfer and we were behind a foursome and we still finished in four hours. We waited maybe twice for like 2-3 minutes. Pace was fantastic. Greens rolling well and everything in really good condition. Wente usually wants $100. If you get it for under $80 it's good value. You have to be on your game here--it was crush the novice golfer.
5-some on the course??
Very slow play as they allowed a 5-some / 3 cart on. No Marshall to regulate. I really want to give them a 5-star. But due to the slow play...and allowing that group to play was a F up
One of my favorite courses
The course has nice layout that and scenic. One of my favorite coursers. However I don’t think I like to play here during greens irrigation period. A few of the greens are like beaches.
I still love this course for the test of the year!
