A nice day, but should be noted that the greens rating was severly influenced by the recent aeration. Nice layout, but could be better marked in some cases. E.g., the temporary tees on 15 were difficult to find (across the water) and the distance to the green was not well marked. In general, well worth the cost, and a fun track.

My wife and I played Wente last month, and had a great day. The course winds through hills and vineyards, and accuracy is well rewarded. Later in the day the wind picks up to increase the challenge. The conditions were terrific, the staff extremely helpful and efficient, and the entire experience first class.

The green fees of $85may seem a little high, but the experience is as good as or better than resort courses costing twice as much.

Finally, the wines that bear the Wente label are a fine treat at the end of the round.
