The Course at Wente Vineyards

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.

The multiple tee box locations will challenge even the most skilled golfer.

Such a beautiful setting and awesome Golfcourse. Great layout except for hole 10 pin placement yesterday - grounds crew must have been grumpy. Love this course and everything about it.

Beautiful Lush Green Golf Course surrounded by beautiful scenery! BONUS: A Winery next door to do some tasting after your round!

Really really really good place to play golf !!

I reserved one more rounding..

great views excellent conditions all "round" a great place to play did I mention real sand bunkers

This is one of my most favorite courses in the Bay Area. The lay out and scenery are stunning, the course is always well maintained and the round is challenging.

It's one of the best course in SF Bay Area. Great design with good condition. Beautiful view surrounding by foothills and vineyards. Will play again and again.

Great course condition even in current drought. Will definitely play again.

By far the best course in the Tri Valley Area, tough but fair is what I like to tell friends, 1st. hole is your best chance for a birdie so take advantage of it. Great views, free range balls, every hole gives you something to think about in terms of which shot to play. THe pace of play is usually good, they don't stack people up too tight. A lot of people think this course is private, but it's public, and you can usually find some kind of deal on golfnow, or at Costco. The food is great, and the Grille after your round is a great place to enjoy a beer or glass of wine overlooking the 18th. green 5 stars for this course

but unlike Pebble you will want to go back to Wente again and again.
we found a great rate (if the course has been aerated ask about the discount)
The Staff was THE BEST and be sure to tip them well they go the extra mile for you!!

If you've never played this course do yourself a favor and book a tee time. There are sweeping views of the Livermore Valley. You play in the Vineyards. The course is in fantastic condition. The staff is friendly.

My only minor complaint about this round is they were aerating the greens and it wasn't announced on GolfNow with the icon. So I suppose my advice would be to call the course in advance which defeats the purpose of GolfNow.

This is a beautiful course and in great shape. the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Had lunch at the restaurant and the burger was really good. The fries were like shoe string potato chips. Not very good. My friend had a salad and he said it wasn't very good either.

Overall, a very nice day at a really nice golf course with great people working there. I recommend it.

The course offers the average golfer a fair challenge. The fact that on many holes you are up in the hills teeing off offers many spectacular views. The steep winding paths take you thru the vinyards and give you an up close look at the vines. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

The course was in excellent shape. The greens rolled true and fairways and tee boxes were great too. Good variety of holes with lots of elevation changes.

From the time we arrived at the course the staff was welcoming and accommodating. It was apparent that our experience was important to them. Very enjoyable round . Fabulous views and interesting holes.

Got a great rate on golfnow.com . Starter let us go out early. Course in top condition, considering the drought.
