The Course at Wente Vineyards

Great course. Beautiful views. Friendly staff. Pace of play was great. Glad we found this course.

Course was fun and challenging but very very slow. I was five and a half hours in and had three holes to go. I ended up leaving.

A great layout and amazing views. I really loved how the holes all seemed to challenge you to decide to go for it or play smart. Hole 10 gets you way up on a hill and you drive to a 285 yard green perched on another hill. It was so fun to play. I don't think walking is the way to go though. The hills would make that almost impossible.

This was by far the most beautiful course I've played.

Awesome Greg Norman-designed course with lots of panoramic views. Tests pretty much every club in the bag with elevated tee shots and interesting angles into greens. Started in the afternoon on a Saturday and got 36 holes in before dark, great pace of play on this particular day and really nice weather (not many people out there this afternoon). Greens had just been aerated so they were pretty sandy and slow as expected, but they still rolled pretty true. Fairways were in great shape. Would definitely come back to play again.

How does a course of this stature not have enough carts? We showed up 2 hours early, wanted to warm up on the range and eat lunch, the driving range is about 1 mile up the hill, they didn’t have a cart or a stsff member to give us a ride, walked 3/4 of the way up before someone offered me a ride the rest off the way, walked all the way back down, the restaurant told us 45 minutes for a table, called us 1 and a hslf hours later, we were on hole 3 by then. Course was ok, service was by far my worst experience in the last 5 years, as unprofessional as it gets.

Course and facilities were terrific. Equipment and pace of play was below standard. There were no carts available when I arrived and the cart they gave me only had a partial charge so it had to be switched out before the end of the first nine holes. Clubhouse meal selections are very limited.

What a great course to play and the experience with the course views and staff were great. Everyone was very kind and helpful. Breathtaking views and fast greens made me feel like I was playing on a PGA event course. It is pricy but I will be making it a normal stop twice a year.

Fabulous course! Enjoyed the challenge of golfing in the mountains! Well laid out course!

Staff was great, especially the course ranger.

We will return!

I will keep it simple. This course is beautifully kept. The layout, scenery and weather was perfect.

This is a scenic but challenging course. Wind can play a big role here. We mostly played with lot of headwind Had difficult times on couple of greens also.

Frost delay. Packed. Left after 6 holes. Don’t put up tee times online if you’re already scrambling from a frost delay. By 1:30 the place was at a standstill with no rangers on the course. Yocha Dehe is twice the caliber of Wente and always manages their pace of play better. I’ve yet to play a round at Wente without egregious waits on every hole. It’s a shame too, Wente is an awesome course, but the consistently slow pace of play combined with foreign, out of the country hackers everywhere is making me seriously reconsider playing again. It’s a 1.5 hour drive for me to get there and I didn’t make that sort of a trip to twiddle my fingers during a 6 hour round.

Very dissapointed tried to book on line and because of the poor design of the golf now website It booked the wrong day and neither Wentevinyards Or Golf now was willing to work with me to either change the date or credit me on another round of golf. I lost some money for that day but they both lost a customer for life Golf is a gentleman’s game of honor I know courses are struggling to survive maybe this is part of the reason why. Super bummed to scratch you guys from the rotation.

We played Wente in early December which turned out to be a great gamble as it was sunny and surrounded by vines turning orange.

Course layout was great with good challenges. Very hilly and well maintained all around. Tended to be fairly wide in most areas which was helpful as we weren't swinging the clubs particularly straight...

Greens were pretty fast and tended to have lot of movement. We all struggles with the putting but just because we are used to the muni courses.

Highly recommend going! One of the best courses I've played.

This has spectacular views and challenging holes. Loved it.

Like Poppy Ridge, beautiful vistas. Wente is like miniature golf writ large, and includes a cell tower

disguised as a water tower using a big Oak like Wine Barrel - but no windmill holes. The greens are deceptively fast but true. The Lombard trail is an e-ticket ride. All in all, a worthwhile test and venue.

P.S. The snakes are hibernating so I picked up a few near new golf balls found in the brush. This new treasure more than paid for the entry fee. LOL.
