This course is a proper test, designed by Greg Norman, so expect a strategic challenge with plenty of elevation changes.

The par-3 15th hole is a standout, playing significantly downhill with a stunning backdrop of the vineyards and valley - it's a postcard moment. Also, the closing stretch, especially the par-5 18th, offers a dramatic finish with water in play and a challenging approach to the clubhouse. You'll want to bring your A-game for these.

Green fees at Wente are on the higher side, reflecting its premium vineyard location and championship design, often ranging from $150-$250 depending on the season and time of day.
