The Course at Wente Vineyards

This course is amazing. It was a bit chilly when I arrived and there was a slight frost delay, but once you got to the first tee box and the sun hits you it was not cold again.

The grounds are in amazing shape. Fairways are immaculate and the greens quick. The sand is also phenomenal. Truly one of the great courses in the Bay Area.

I think it’s great that they are on GolfNow, but the members I played with didn’t love that. They were great partners though and made me very interested in a membership.

If you get a chance to play, I highly recommend. It’s worth the $150.

I've played here 3 times and each time I leave thinking "that was golf heaven." If you exclude the Monterey Peninsula and private courses, this is the best golf course in the Bay Area by a wide margin over TPC Harding Park and the other candidates. Every blade of grass, every bunker, every green is just exactly as you'd want it. And the views on some of the holes are just absurdly good. This is Greg Norman's best course and probably in my all-time top 10 public courses.

The problem was with golfnow. I booked for 1:15 and the conformation showed 1:15 to 5:15 in one place and 2:15 in another place. The course received 2:30 from golf now. Something is very wrong on the golfnow end.

The entire front 9 and 1-2 holes on the back nine are cart path only. Allow more than 3 hours to play 18 holes. Cart needed to be returned by 6:30pm. Will definitely return!

The course was in excellent shape. Greens firm and very fast. The practice green speed was identical to the course. So get some pre round putts in. Layout is amazing how they utilized the top of the hill for 3 holes after you climb “Lombard Street” to hole 10. Overall experience was excellent. Highly recommend a round here. The facility wasn’t entirely open for Covid. But there was still a food and drink service on the patio.

Beautiful views. Greens in great condition. Amazing views were at times distracting...not a bad thing though.

A very nice course, great layout, fairly good shape. Driving range is way up the hill, so give yourself extra time if you plan to warm up. The snack shack at the turn was closed which is unfortunate since it was a hot day and no other water was available on the course. Plus there wasn't a beverage cart. Greens were recently sanded, but not that bad. Not a marshal in sight. The loud "scarecrow" bird noises from a nearby vineyard loudspeaker are very annoying. The drive up "Lombard Street" to hole #10 is quite fun. Read/copy/printout the helpful hole tips from their website before your round. Apparently wind is often a factor on this course, but not the day we played.

The only non-five star rating was completely impacted my COVID-19. Even with the lack of open food or beverage stations the staff was very friendly and professional. Also they deserve a 20 star rating in how they protect staff and golfers. Temperature taken, promoting distance of, supporting masks, and they do an outstanding job cleaning and sanitizing golf carts and restrooms. Job well done to the team of Wente Golf Properties.

first off, amazing staff, greeting you in the parking lot with a cart ready to go, check is temp check/covid form fill out, which I commend them for doing. Starter is an energetic humorous guy. Day was smoking hot and the sky was hazy from the fires, but they really made the best of an interesting time and day. Complimentary ice cold water bottles were so appreciated as well.

The course: greens will ruin your day with how fast they are haha. Read them well as they are super firm and can get away from you at one roll too many. Beautiful , challenging lay out and I hope to return soon. The bunkers are pure as well (fortunately didnt get to experience one this round) hoping to return in much less time than the previous. Thank you Wente

Im a single digit handicap and golf all over, and this place is one of the best in the area hands down. From tee to green best. Thanks for the opportunity

6:48AM Tee time. "The early bird gets the worm". Boy did I get the worm. Finished 18 holes in just under 2 hours. . Yes, I said 2 hours. the guys I was paired up with were late to the tee so I went off by myself. Did not beat my personal best round on this day but being able to fly through holes without waiting on people made this round one of the best I've played in a long long time.

Rough was high, but that wasn’t a problem. Sand traps are hard as rocks. That is a problem. Paying almost a hundred dollars and not being allowed to finish was a big problem. Teed off right around 3:30 and was informed on the first tee that the carts had to be be back by 7. Our foursome moved quickly, but There was no way we could finish the round in 3 1/2 hours, so, although there was sufficient sunlight to finish, we weren’t allowed to. I like the course, but I could have played elsewhere for less and actually finished. Covid protocol was excellent.
