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
Beautiful layout
Played from the gold tees which present some quite long par 4s. Layout is beautiful, conditions of tees and fairways were excellent, but greens were not that great. I’d definitely play again, but my wallet can’t handle the price too often :(
Dynamic layout
This course has many dynamic looks with incredible views, although some of the holes don’t work all that well, but overall a fantastic track, maybe a little expensive!! Also this course is very good condition!
Resort
As close to a resort experience you can get on a public course. Fast greens, good people and a great view
Fantastic layout, amenities leave a bit to be desired
In terms of course layout, this is maybe the most fun I’ve ever played. Lots of dramatic elevation changes and fantastic views, and plays in a way that is not overly challenging for a higher handicapper.
The course was in pretty good shape but not top tier. Greens not quite as fast as I would expect and some were in poor shape.
We played early so pace of play was excellent.
My biggest complaint is that compared to other courses I’ve played in this price range the amenities were mediocre. Our tee time was just before 7 on a Saturday and nothing was open, so I couldn’t even get a coffee before the round. At the turn, which was after 9, stilll nothing open. On a Saturday I’d expect to be able to get coffee at minimum. I realize labor shortages have been a problem during COVID so perhaps that’s to blame.
All in all this is a top notch course you should definitely play. Well worth the price even without the amenities.
Played the course well over 100 times and it’s always in excellent condition. However there was not one drop of water anywhere to drink and I’m thankful I had brought 2 bottles of water with me because it was 108 degrees today. They really need to get water on the course
Wente good!
Great golf! I was surprised how good the pace was. We rocked through on a Wednesday afternoon in 4 hours. Postcard views from nearly every hole. The blue tees challenged us (15 handicaps). Very good greens except for #1 and 16, which had some diseased grass. Sand is immaculate.
