Beautiful course even on a cold and windy wintery day.

I always enjoy playing this course when the opportunity arrises. The regular green fees are steep for me but I was able to get a last minute good rate online. I did have an issue with my golf cart shutting down because the GPS showed it on the fairway when I was actually on the cart path. I called the pro shop and said they were experiencing an issue with the GPS after the recent storm. The gril was always a great place to relax and eat but has not been the same since COVID.

Beautiful setting for course in excellent condition

Wente is a wonderful course to play. Situated in the foothills it has spectacular views with many holes lined by vineyards. For mid-February, it is in remarkably good shape. Play it and see for yourself.

Most Underrated course in the bay area

This course is simply beautiful and fun to play. It is a bit of a drive but the views and ambiance of the course is unparalleled outside of the coastal courses. Several holes are on the vineyard and many have views of the whole property.

The course is well maintained but my only gripe is there is no marshall.

Love this place!

Finished at 4:30. I know, a winter weekday and close to closing. Sure would have been nice to get a bite to eat. Thus the one star. However I love this golf course. Always a challenge and always 100%. Once spring hits the patio will be open and I will revise my rating. Great food and the patio is on the 18th. Great for side bets for the guys coming in!

Most beautiful course in the Tri-valley. Well kept, pace of play was perfect. Staff was both professional and friendly (those don’t always go together…). Would definitely recommend to any serious golfer.

Wow, what a gem.

I paid $200 on a Friday morning to play at Wente. Worth the price, the course is in immaculate condition. Friendly staff and the round only took under 4:15 to play all 18. I’ll be coming back here on a regular basis. Oh and I have a bunch of tattoos on my arms and they were fine with me wearing a short sleeve polo. (Any tattoos are fine unless they’re gang tattoos). DEFINITELY check out Wente!

Temp tee box 16 th hole

The reason I gave a lower rating was because the 16th hole had a temporary tee box and the attendant during checkin failed to notify us, nor did GOLFNOW. Otherwise golf course was in excellent condition.
