Back after long layoff from Wente
It’s been a long time since I last played at Wente. Long enough that I really couldn’t remember but 1 hole. What I found was a good conditioned course that I felt was a little overpriced. Would I comeback to play it any again … sure, but I won’t be rushing back. Maybe if the fees were around 25% cheaper, I’d find myself playing it more.
Very nice course.
Course in great location and in great shape. Only negative is there was a land slide sometime in the past that damaged 16th tee which is being re-developed. Otherwise, very enjoyable round of golf.
Team play
I went there by myself and joined two other singles.
We were similar level .
I have a good round.
A Bay area go to
You will not be disappointed with this course. Great golf and carts with gps distance displayed…
Great Layout
I’ve heard a lot about this place so I was eager to see if it lived up to its billing. First off, I’ll address getting there. Plan your tee time accordingly to traffic. What should have taken me 25 minutes took just under an hour due to Friday traffic. Lessened learned on that one.
As far as the layout, this course is awesome. Plenty of grip it and rip holes with elevation changes and wide landing areas to build up the confidence, but then there are some short par 4’s that require precision off the tee with an iron. It also has a good mixture of par 3’s. As far as layout is concerned it checked all the boxes. The switch back climb from the 9th green to the 10th tee box which was reminiscent of Alpe D’Huez was fun in a cart but all but guarantees that you can’t walk this course (and still enjoy it).
Condition wise the course was fine. Somewhere between above average and top notch. Greens rolled smooth at a medium + pace. Greens were pretty docile as far as challenge goes. Most were single tier with modest slope. Or maybe my putter was just that good (27 putts total). Fairways were excellent, Nice and lush with great coverage throughout. Tee boxes and sand traps were ok. Nothing spectacular but nothing to complain about.
Customer service - Sucked. I gave it 2 stars for customer service and that was due to the bag attendant being great. The pro shop on the other hand was horrible. They were put out by the fact that I needed change (so I could tip the bag attendant) and looked down at me because I didn’t know the exact time of my tee time. I guess it’s too much trouble to look at the computer. Anyway, for that reason alone, I opted not to buy a shirt in the pro shop.
For layout and conditions, the track is worth playing. For price and customer service, I’d skip it. Not sure if I’ll ever play it again, but if I do it’ll likely be because a friend has invited me.
Grumpy staff, great course
Came in 40 minutes early for my tee time and sat in the restaurant to take a quick work call. The server came by and gave our group some serious attitude for not wanting to order and swiftly took our menus away with a snarky comment. We felt bad so we ended up ordering tea forcefully just to not sit there. Before we left the restaurant, we overheard the server making a comment about us to another coworker who made eye contact with me with a smirk, while folding silverware. Great course though.
Great golf venue
Really friendly staff both at sign up and on course
Played with a couple of locals who also made the day enjoyable.
Best Value for Top Tier Course
It has always puzzled me how this course doesn't get more acclaim. It has a fun and beautiful layout, great amenities and a friendly staff. The course is always well maintained and the people who play the course have good etiquette.
It is a little bit challenging to get to but overall an excellent value for what you pay. Only thing to note is if you play when it is hot you will need to drink a lot of water. It is very dry and they have water stations but it is easy to get very dehydrated.
wow
course is beautiful in wine country ..staff very friendly and accommodating....course layout is fun, would play every day if I could....I believe 17 tee box is being worked on but will be nice when completed ....
Wonderful course
But some pace of play issues
The starter didn't let us know about the shift in the tee box on 15 (16?)
Wente was great
Another great round at Wente. Pace was great at 4:20. Greens were not fast but very true. Very enjoyable. Staff was friendly and helpful.
It's Been Better
I try to play Wente at least once a year if not two or three times. This time though, it wasn't as good as in previous rounds. Greens were sanded and micro-punched and none of the employees said anything. Carts were on path only and only the started mentioned anything. Also, they claimed the reason for having carts on paths only was b/c the fairways were soggy from overwatering and not once did I experience soggy fairways. Paths only slowed the pace of play significantly. I'll certainly keep playing Wente, but they could do a better job of communicating to the patrons.
