The Course at Wente Vineyards
Rating Snapshot
About
Located less than an hour east of San Francisco, the Course at Wente Vineyards sprawls across the lush, rolling hills of Livermore Valley. Greg Norman carefully crafted the golf course, creating one of northern California's most challenging layouts. The course incorporates three different landscapes: woodlands, grassy meadows, and mature vineyards. All throughout the golf course though, golfers will be faced with dramatic elevation changes that cause tricky uneven lies but that also means there are panoramic views to be enjoyed on almost every hole. The fairways and landing areas are narrow and require good club management. The prevailing winds add another challenging element to the course. The Course at Wente Vineyards' back nine holes are more demanding with the par 3s being especially memorable. It is a tough but fair round that will reward proper club selection and strategy.

Great condition for aerated greens
Greens were still playing relatively fast for aerated condition that we saved money for. Fairways are well manicured and bunkers were top notch. Staffs were very friendly and understanding. Rangers were looping around to check on anything such as lost clubs. Had a good pace of play.
First time playing Wente
I played Wente for around $70 which was an awesome deal. Beautiful course situated in the wine country. Range balls, cart and two bottles of cold water were all included. Course was in a great condition. Greens were in good condition but not ‘fast’. I would certainly go back to Wente.
Excellent spin, but!
Wente is always in great shape and the layout is so much fun. The only reason I did not give it five stars is because the halfway house was not open and there was no beverage cart making the rounds on a hot Saturday afternoon and we were pretty thirsty by the ninth hole. For what they charge for round, I think all those amenities should be available, other than that it was a good day.
Front 9 was great, pace on the back 9 was way to long
A great overall course
Hay played before several times. Love the overall layout, forgiving in some areas, challenging on other’s. Something for everyone the course is always in great shape, the food and service is great in the bar grill. I highly recommend this course
One of my favorites
This course is now one of my favorite tracks I’ve played. Conditions were ideal, sand was nice and soft and the staff were cool! 100% coming back soon.
Hole in one on #7
How could this not be a great round when I got a hole in one on hole Seven.
Amazing!!
Lesser known fact, they give you a bottle of wine for a hole in one. The bottle is etched with one of the holes on the course.
Amazing!!!
