The Course at Wente Vineyards

Great course conditions and friendly staff. Pace was little bit slow but it gives time to enjoy the surroundings.

Wente is a very good course.The pace of play was not good, the marshall did nothing to remedy the situation, older man heavy set, not friendly,We were a twosome stuck behind a foursome of old slow 25+ handicappers .We got by them they were rude thanked them they just gave us rude stares.We got stuck again behind another foursome of 25+ handicappers.We waited 5 minutes plus on the rest of the course.

Very challenging course in excellent condition with interesting elevation changes. There are a few holes side by side, but not many. Very good experience, worth the price of admission !

The course is in great condition and the greens are true and speed is consistent. Keep the ball on the fairway as the dry grass that borders the fairways is tall.

This course is definitely worth a play if you haven't played it. Picturesque setting, dramatic layout, always in good condition in the many times I've played it over the years.

But it's not quite what I want it to be. The risk-reward trade-off that marks a great course is not there. On most holes, the decision is made for you; there is only one smart play. And it is unwalkable, always a strike against.

The food at the lodge is decent, but quite a bit more expensive than you'd like it to be.

But if you haven't played it yet, for sure you should go check it out.

This course was in great condition. The only signs of a drought was an empty creek bed on the tail end of the back 9.

The scenery is well above average when comparing to other courses around the Bay Area. The greens and the fairways were in great shape. Did I mention we are in a drought? Maybe using reclaimed water to irrigate or they couldn't care less about a shortage of water.
I got a 4some for around $65 pp. is worth it. I am not a good enough golfer to spend over that. A great course if you want to woo clients. If u just want to hack away then this might not be the course for you.

This was only my second time at Wente. Its a fun course...each hole has its own signature, I thought for the most part the fairways and greens were in excellent condition. It was rainy/misty throughout the round but the course continued to play well. Two course Marshall's we came in contact with were helpful, professional, and amicable. Those barber poles set out as starting points for 90 degree entry to fairways...I've not experienced them before but they made the play move with a good pace and also protected the course effectively. I'm not certain if that dinner restaurant at the other end of the parking lot is related to the golf function but both of my visits...we ended up driving into Livermore for dinner because it would have been a two hour wait before they started to serve dinner.
Looking forward to visiting again.

Course was in good condition. Greens were excellent, tee boxes were ok and fairways were good. Just dont stray from the areas mentioned above. Each hole is pretty much outlined by knee high snake country grass. If you spray the ball you better have plenty of ammo. The food was good and the service was fantastic by the restaurant staff. Pretty expensive but worth every cent. On course marshals were friendly and pace of play was great. The greens have some grain and some hard to read slopes and were in excellent condition.

While playing Wente on May 6th the course was in excellent condition. The starter and pro shop personnel were welcoming and helpful. The weather was unusually mild. The early afternoon tee time was perfect for a 3.5 hours round of leisurely playing time. Redtail hawks and wild turkeys were fun to observe around the course.

Excellent. The best public course in California north of Monterey.

Great golfing experience! Thanks to Marshall Dave for great time! From the boys from Edmonton, thanks for an outstanding golf course. Hope to return soon.

I would recommend this course to anyone.I can't wait to go back and play another round.

plan to comeback and play again.Envite my family and friends.the has scenic view makes you focus in you game.

Course was in great condition. Pace was great, no waiting!

Greatest course I have played so far. The elevation the scenery the drive. Even the sand in the bunkers was incredible. Driving range location was nice. Range balls are included in the round all you can hit. The drive up to 10th tee was very nice being that it is there version of Lombard street in San Francisco. Highly recommend this course.

Starter failed to call me from the excellent range as promised, so some local regular took my spot. Had to then wait on 1st tee while "my 4" some played slowly in front. But, on 2nd tee, marshal came to my rescue and took me to the 4th, paired me up w/ another single....moved pretty well and played holes 2&3 after the 18th. Good marshal (creative). Wente is a beautiful course (very scenic and natural--beautiful oaks, canyons, vistas etc.) w/ an interesting layout, especially the back 9. Course and greens were in very good shape despite the hard rain 2 days previous. Very nice sand in bunkers. Is a long drive for me (from SF), but I consider it a special treat to play here.

play too slow poorly marshelled xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Excellent course conditions, subtle greens without extreme undulations. Good mix of risk/reward and pacing. Winter rates are an excellent time to enjoy this course.

Me and my friends got out a bit late in the afternoon so we didn't get to play the last 5 holes but we really liked the finish and layout of this course. The personal was really helpful and i warmly recommend this course.
