Love course but severely overpriced

I love playing Wente. For some reason I always play well there. The problem is the price. We have many excellent courses, including Poppy Ridge and Callippe near by which are far more reasonably priced. Wente charges close to double the price without being twice is good. I decided to give into convenience Sunday and pay the extra price, but if I had my druthers, I’d have gone somewhere more reasonably priced.

Good Bad & ugly

Way way way overpriced !
Greens were in terrible condition , recently aerated , like playing plinko on the price is right . Must’ve fixed a dozen ball marks on every green , apparently nobody is told to fix them
Layout is a little confusing in some places and there are a couple odd designed holes , however ……
The views are definitely the draw here . The course winds through a vineyard with dramatic elevation changes . Also the sand in the bunkers is close to perfect . What ever ya do bring a wind breaker and some warm cloths . I’ll visit the winery again but not the golf course , it’s not worth the price tag

Fun track

This course is great. The carts are incredibly annoying. Constantly bugging you with messages. Started telling us about having the carts in by 530 at about 4pm with 3 holes to play. The cart literally started beeping a warning in my back swing. For a course this pricey I don't need the cart GPS making noise when I'm trying to play golf.

Afternoon round is great value

Picked a later tee time. Still got full 18 holes in. What’s not to love about this area .. views are breathtaking, holes are fun, and tips are sufficiently challenging.

Not worth the moneu

Play was very slow, barely finished 16 holes, started at 1pm, cart broke down, called the club house 3 times but no cart came, finally we had go down pick up the cart, we saw marshall once, complained to him about slow play but he said this is normal.
I would not play or I recommend, good luck

Paul D

We started at 1pm, group in front of us was 2 holes behind yet Marshall said they are on time to play, we saw Marshall only once. We had to skip the slow group and 2 holes 10 and 11 holes to barely finish 16 holes. On the 6th hole one of our carts stopped in the middle, called the club house 3 times for the cart. Proshop responded that we will send someone quick but no one showed up and we started to walk with our bags. finally on the 8th tee box we had to go down pick up another cart. After finishing the 9 holes we were at food and beverage place. He did not have any food like sandwich or hot dogs, only chips, bars and alcohol available, no coffee or tea available either.
Over all it was very disappointing round and we all felt like it is not worth the price.

Wente Winter Round

Course played great and the weather was beautiful. Only complaint would be pace was way off. Stern marshalls other than when the carts were due in would have made it much more enjoyable.
Greens were fast, and the rest of the course was in great condition.

Customer service an issue

Course is in fantastic condition but the customer service issues there are the problem. Employees inside and out act like they would rather be anywhere else but there. Just a poor reflection on a beautiful course and I now remember why I don’t return. In the golf course business it’s all about the customer experience and they don’t have it there- yet.
