Greg Norman-designed The Course at Wente Vineyards makes for an exceptional day on the links.

Challenging greens, beautiful wine-country backdrop: together these make for an exceptional day of golf at The Course at Wente Vineyards . Part of the dramatic Wente estate in the handsome Livermore Valley wine region, this 18-hole, 7,181-yard, par-72 championship course, designed by Greg Norman, aims to be one of the premier golf destinations in Northern California. Not to mention a beautiful one. Expanses of vineyards climb the surrounding hills, giving the course a particularly secluded feel that seems a world apart from the bustle of San Francisco, just a 45 minute drive away.

Serious golfers will appreciate the course’s challenging holes, which have made The Course at Wente Vineyards a regular stop on the PGA circuit. Though the site has an exclusive, upscale feel, it is open to all for a daily fee. After playing a round, relax in The Restaurant at Wente Vineyards , focusing on sustainable and organically grown local ingredients and complemented by (what else) Wente wines.
