The Course at Wente Vineyards

Great views and great staff. Overall excellent course. They could do a better job at controlling pace of play. Other Than that fun times. I will definitely be back.

As I placed by "stars" in the section above, I realized that there isn't one unique thing about Wente that blows me away - it's the combination of things, including the patio overlooking 18, and knowing that I'm going to have a great dinner at the restaurant there at the vineyard after a round. The rolling hills backdrop is always spectacular, and the layout of the course is always challenging, no matter which way the winds are blowing!

I would love to see the course condition improve a bit, but overall - I'd recommend this course to anyone looking for a beautiful challenge and a fun overall "experience".

It is always a pleasure to play Wente golf course. You definitely will enjoy the beautiful winery

We had five in our group, it was nice of them to allow us out. Even after an overnight rainstorm the fairways and greens were in great shape!

Very good designed golf course, dropped tee shot on a couple of holes, few holes on top of hills, need pay attention to slopes of greens, if it's uphill, it really uphill. No14, par 3, big drop, agains wind, made me unsure which club to use, gave me trouble. Over all experience was awesome.

For the average golfer the course may be too difficult to fully enjoy. Very narrow fairways and grape vines lining most fairways. Great looking course but a little to tough for me.

Great round for 1st time there. Loved the many looks the course offered and the bunkers are pure powder. Beautiful course. Was the first time playing here but won't be the last.

Wente always delivers. Great layout, conditioning, service, value. One of the best in Norcal in my opinion. Subtle greens, fast but true. Good mix of par 3's and short par 4's. Love the 2nd, 6th, 7th, 10th, 12th, 18th. Bunkers have this heavy, coarse sand that just kills the clubhead speed. Swing hard.
Or stay out of the bunkers. The rough is tough also, deep and wiry A great test and a real gem.

At first the thought of playing Wente was intimidating (30 index) but from the moment we chatted with the Starter, met our playing partners, and caught a view of the glorious first hole, I knew it was golf love at first sight. Got my first birdie, a couple of pars and my golf partner (12 index) was outstanding. I made friends with the cows and saw the most beautiful hawk but the peace and beautiful playing conditions were unmatched. It's always a treat to have your clubs cleaned on the 18th and the young man was a joy at the end of a long day. Of course, we followed it up with a little wine tasting and a fabulous dinner. A day that will be a long-time memory thanks to everyone at Wente.

I had been looking forward to playing this course for awhile, but had always been a little hesitant because of the hour drive over from SF. I'm glad I finally made the trip over to play. The course has gorgeous views throughout, primarily due to its elevation changes. I was expecting to play many golf shots from non-level lies, but fortunately this was not the case. Driving range landing area was spacious but was a little awkward visually because of the uphill and sidehill sloping. Very challenging finishing hole - not easy staying dry on your approach to the green. Overall and simply put, it was a fun round on a nice course.

One of the best course in the Tri-valley area. I have witnessed its beauty of colorful late autumn in addition to the challenge of mountain course.

I'm gonna keep it simple to the first thing I want to know when I ask about a course.
Hows the fairways look and feel? Not a dry spot on them!
Can I get down and through the ball with ease in the bunkers?
"Powder like" white sand (Like scoopin warm butter baby!)

Oh and...Free Range Balls, WooHoo!

Course in great shape. Rough can be difficult. Greens smooth and fast. Unfortunately slow play detracts from the course. Marshall no help to speed up the slow groups.

Strongly recommend this golf course. Pretty well maintained and treated VIP, and most of all I was impressed by the driving range and Lombard street.

I love playing at Wenti. The views are fantastic and the course is tough but fair. There is always some "animal damage" on the fairways, but it wont take away from the overall experience. I'm from Philly and whenever I get out to the area I always schedule a round here.

1st time here, great experience, staff was great, course is in great shape & the layout is beautiful!

I have only been playing for 10 months and never at a course this nice so I am not speaking from experience but I am pretty sure you won't be disappointed with this beautiful pristine course. The staff treats you like royalty.

Playing in between vineyards with many elevated tees. This is a beautiful course and very challenging. The staff was terrific very friendly and helpful. The "drive" up to the 10th hole is named Lombard street and is more fun to drive than the real Lombard street.

Greens were aerated in the middle of Aug so they were still bumpy and it made putting more difficult since the sand kept putts from breaking as much as it looked and the greens were much slower than usual. Would have appreciated the Pro shop letting us know about the aeration, especially since we were charged regular greens fees.

Course was in great shape. Greens were aerated and sanded which took away a little bit of the experience since putting was a new kind of challenge. Overall a very nice experience and would go back in a heartbeat (after the greens return to normal).
