One of the best in the Bay Area

I’m and avid golfer and play 3 rounds a week. Wente is one of the top 3 courses to play in the Bay Area. Love the challenging course and how it winds in and out of the hills.

Wente beautiful morning in well manicure course

The course was in excellent condition, good pace of play, and had great service from the staff at check-in.
It is kind of pricey but the conditions made it worth it.

Left a little to be desired

Course was in great shape, tons of fun holes with great views. Played twice in the last week, no cart person on the course either time and the snack bar at the turn wasn’t open either time. Both time was told their would be someone on the cart selling snacks/drinks and that the snack bar would be open…. But there was neither

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved the course. Holes after #3 and before #16 were the best with lots of elevation changes, forced clearances and blind shots. I don’t like “flat” golf courses. This course is perfect for me with some hole exceptions. Outstanding course conditions from tee box to green. Greens were very tricky lots of times with breaks at or near the cup. Really liked the water dispensers positioned on the course. Staff members were very friendly. Hated that the refreshment cart left early because of low amount of golfers playing. Felt for the price of the green fees paid refreshment cart should have stayed until the normal 5:00 PM hour.

Nice course

The course was good. The only down side was the greens. Very unpredictable. They were fast and slow. It ended up getting windy but, still had fun. The fairways were great. The course condition was good overall. I would definitely play here again.

Was hoping for more

Enjoyed my round but was expecting conditions to be nicer. A lot of GUR and greens were bumpy and patchy.

Beautiful course . . .

I have seen this course pop up as a hot deal now and again and thought it looked like one I would like to play. Finally used some of my $10/month credits to check it out. Picked the hottest day of the year (wish those credits did not require the 3 day advance).
Course was pretty empty, so pace of play was great and I got to really enjoy it. Very beautiful even though it was dry. Elevated tee shots are a blast. Green rolled true, but so hard there were few ball marks. Several risk-reward holes that you can't really play intelligently until you have seen all the landing spots at least once. Same with greens that are hard to know where to leave shots on a first loop. Even though it was triple digit heat, I had a great time playing this course.

Would play here everyday if I could.

Love this course. Can't beat Hot Deal rates on GN. Staff is very professional and accommodating. Always a pleasure. Course is in fantastic condition. Pace is normally great. The course is not too intimidating for beginners. Blue/Gold tee boxes are amazing. Everyone should experience this course in the Bay Area. Highly recommend.

Best course around!!

Most relaxing most amazing views. I mean who doesn’t like looking and rolling vineyards, soaring hawks and perfect blue sky’s!!! It’s almost perfect! The only knock I will give is that it is too pricey. I get it that you pay for what you get but they could lower the price by about 15% and then I would give it 5 stars ⭐️….. but if you get creative, IE GolfNow you can get a better deal. Not only is the golf amazing but the food at both the restaurant and the quick grab and go is top notch!! If you haven’t been to Wente and you live in the Bay Area you are missing out! It’s a must visit course!!!!
