The Course at Wente Vineyards

The Course is close to my home, but I've never taken advantage of it.

Easily one of the best maintained greens I've ever played.

Stunning views from this course especially on the 10th tee box. Fairways and greens where in excellent shape.

Friendly course, good pace, challenging, and great service.

We have a group that travels regularly to golf. None of us had played the course before but had heard good things about it. We could not have been more rewarded for the drive than the course at wente vineyards. From the immaculate practice area, to the professional staff the first impression was excellent. The course was pristine, the tee boxes were well manicured, the fairways were tightly mowed and green. The greens were firm but receptive, fast and true. The course has everything you could want in a round of golf. Elevation changes,risk reward and some of the best views around.

If you haven't played it I recommend you book your time now and go enjoy some of the best value golf around. We are already planning a return trip

Great Staff, carts are like driving your couch around, and a fun layout. I enjoyed this track but I feel like it's way overpriced for the quality/value. You can pay less than $100 on a weekend at 10 other courses in the area that are all just as nice.

I played this golf course a couple of days ago and they never bothered to mention that they dumped a ton of sand on the greens and that the greens were unplayable !!!! I understand what top dressing is but they dumped a ton of sand and just left it on the course, it was like rolling the ball in a sand trap. I believe that if the course is unplayable, then they should at least advise the players. I drove over 2 hours and it was too late in the day to cancel the round and drive somewhere else.

Loved it. Unique setting, beautiful views, fast, but true greens, tough, but fair layout. Good twilight rate and pace of play. During a week where I played Pasatiempo, Pebble Beach, and Harding Park, this place held it's own, in it's own way. Enjoyed it so much I may play it again today!

Friendly staff, great layout, and beautifully groomed. Would definitely recommend everyone try Wente if in the Bay Area

Wente golf course is wonderful. The layout is great. Greens roll true. Great views. Red tail Hawks everywhere. We saw a eagle too!!! Everyone needs to play wente. First class place.

Great layout and course conditions. Entertained a client and he was equally impressed.

Pace of play a bit slow due to challenging course and tough wind! Scenery is absolutely fantastic with the vineyards and elevation changes. Plenty of wildlife running around and flying overhead.

Put this course on your list!

Generally, Wente marshall patrol is present but nowadays they are more concerned about patrolling in/out of fairway than enforcing the pace of play. Over 5 hours and 40 minutes to complete a round of golf on Saturday. That shouldn't be for the course charging over $120 for the green fee. We waited on every tee shots and approach shots except for the first hole.

very great and nice golf course

Wente always offers a challenging, scenic round that will leave you wanting to play another round. Got a great deal for the afternoon twilight rate and enjoyed a well paced 4 1/2 hour round. I always play here when I can get the good rate.

We stopped after 12 holes due to the extremely slow pace of play. The group in front lost balls on almost every hole and spent way too long looking for the lost balls. No signs of a marshal anywhere.

Too many other great courses in the area. While I love the layout of the course, for the price I think I will be looking elsewhere.

It was great course for us to play even there were nice maintenance and lay out. Thanks!

Really enjoyed the layout and the course was in pretty good shape. The course is designed around the surrounding mountains and provide some great views and elevation changes. I used a Hot Deal and it was well worth the price. The normal rates are a bit steep but I don't think you'll be disappointed. The course is fairly open off the tee but there are definitely some challenging holes and tee shots, especially with the wind blowing. If you hit it off the rough about 10 yards or so most holes have either vineyards or tall grass that the staff warns you not to enter because of rattlesnakes.

I would love this course except holes 12-14 are just bad golf holes. The front 9 is spectacular and the finishing holes are 3 of the hardest holes in NorCal. The food at the cafe and restaurant are very good.

I have played this course about 10 times now. In general every hole seems to play longer than I think. If I take an extra club on most shots I end up scoring way better. The scenery through the vineyards makes this a very unique and memorable round.

But I just can't get over 12-14. 12 is an absurd par 5. An uphill drive that's nearly always into a very strong headwind leaves you with a completely blind second shot through a gap in the hills. With no yardage book, you have to guess at the proper line but the prevailing wind and slope of the fairway usually punish anything but a perfect shot. 13 is an over-gimmicky downhill par 4. If you want to carry the vineyard with a 280 blast, you can drive the green which means way too many people wait on the tee box slowing the pace of play way down. The smart shot into the fat part of the fairway usually results in a very uneven lie into an undulating green. This is easily my least favorite hole on the course. 14 is a very boring par 3 that is so out of place with the other very good 3's on the course.

Its a good course overall but the 3 bad holes in a row knock it way down my list.

All greens were still recovering from aeration and all 18 holes were cart-path only. None of these info were disclosed when booking the tee time -- green fee was not discounted at these conditions which is completely unfair to golfers! I took a Tuesday off from work drove 60 miles from home to Wente but ended up a trashy day of golf. It was a completely dissatisfied experience - not recommended.

allowed to go out early by starter,,,was joined by a nice course member,,,amazing course,,

greens had been aerated recently so they were much slower than normal,,

the fact Wente has a tasting room next door is fantastic,,and dangerous
