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.

Course conditions
The Course at Wente is the BEST non-private golf course in N. California. Even better than most private courses in area. I would highly recommend this golf course.
One of the best courses I have ever played
I have been wanting to play this course for a very long time, and today, a weekday at noon, the price was right. Everything about this course is superb, including the course layout, attention to every detail of maintenance on this course, and a sense of friendliness and genuine care from all of the staff members.
Great Course
Scenic is an understatement. Course was gorgeous and the surrounding area was stunning. The layout was great too, and pretty tough. Pace of play was perfect and well managed.
Always in Excellent Condition
Wente is always in fabulous condition, whether summer or winter. In fact is was two days after it rained and the course was great and it was not cart path only. The setting of Wente is outstanding in the Livermore wine country, with vineyards along the fairways and the rolling hills surrounding the course. Do to the setting, all the holes are unique and offer different challenges. The greens and fairways are well manicured and the sand traps are in great shape as well, not that you want to get in them. Go and play, you will not be disappointed and enjoy wine tasting after the round.
Top notch public course.
Very well maintained with fast greens and great views.
A great day at Wente
I had a fantastic day, with wonderful conditions at a course filled with beautiful fall scenes. It presented 18 challenging holes, all of which were in perfect condition.
Well worth the drive
I’ve played the course twice now and loved it both times. You may not shoot your low round here but odds are you’ll capture some Kodak moments. Lots of interesting holes, elevation changes and challenges. Likely helps to play it a few times to figure out strategy. Greens, bunkers and fairways were in excellent shape. My only regret was the long drive back to Palo Alto during rush hour so couldn’t finish with some wine tasting
Stunning views
Even though I have only been playing for about 5 months, this will probably be the most beautiful course I'll play in a long time. It's not easy, especially for a rookie, but the views are stunning, fantastic and friendly service and what's better than combining golf, nature and wine? Hit a par on hole 3, which I'm pretty proud of :-) Can highly recommend!
Wonderful Wente
Wente is one of the best maintained courses in Northern California. Everything about the day was perfect, including the beautiful weather we get this time of the year, Its unusual to Not have wind in the Livermore area.
