About Cabe

Cabe Jones joined The Course at Wente Vineyards as head golf professional in early 2013. His presence is a welcome one, as his genuine enthusiasm and passion for the sport are apparent and inspiring.

Cabe was born and raised in Pendleton, Oregon. He attended Portland State University, where he graduated in 1996 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Social Sciences. Prior to his professional career in golf, Cabe developed experience in restaurant and sales management. After meeting his wife in 2005, Cabe was inspired to pursue his dream and break into the professional world of golf.

In 2006, Cabe began his golf career as an assistant golf professional at Coyote Moon Golf Course and Old Greenwood Golf Course near Lake Tahoe. Within one year, Cabe was promoted to first assistant golf professional at Coyote Moon. Shortly after, he acquired his Professional Golf Association of America Class-A Membership.

In 2010 he took the position of head golf professional at Coyote Moon, directing and overseeing all operations at the course. As both the first assistant and head golf professional, he developed a wide range of experiences on and off the course. He was given the opportunity to build and develop the facility from start to full-scale operations, which he completed in just two months. He also managed all aspects of the course, ranging from marketing, to licensing, to human resource policies and tournament bookings.

His passion for the game began while in high school and college, as it was a way to relax during baseball season. He fell in love with every aspect of golf, including the etiquette, history, and constant challenge. Cabe’s dedication and excitement for the game, along with his successful history in operations, makes him a perfect match for The Course at Wente Vineyards.
