What happened to this place???

This course used to be the best local track around. It was always in great condition and was well maintained. Over the past few years the condition of this course has really declined. I used to brag to my local golf friends how great this course was and how it was always in pristine condition. Nowadays the tee boxes are in rough shape, the bunkers are borderline unplayable, and the fairways are not much better. This used to be my go to local course but not so much any more. I hope they make some changes to what they are doing to make it how it used to be. I guarantee I am not the only one that feels this way.

Almost

Was almost late for the round arrived 6 min ahead of tee time to find that the group I was supposed to be with, was sent off. The starter was a complete douche, asked why they were sent off, he simply looked at his watch and said I call ppl 5 min before hand to get up to tee. I looked at my watch and still had 3 min so was astonished. I vaguely remembered playing here last year, but I do remember issues with the starter being a prude. Overall the course was nice and decent layout. Guys I ended up playing with were nice and accommodating. Drawbacks greens barely broke caused issues for the four of us all day and be careful a lot of houses along the sides of the course. I don't go to golf courses to deal with overbearing elders to start your day off, so I will not be returning to this course.

A Gem in Gilbertsville

Played Bella Vista for the second time this past Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed it. The course was in excellent shape with some challenging but fun rough. There are some really enjoyable holes from a strategy and aesthetics perspective. The carts have a GPS system in them that is extremely valuable and a game-changer. Only drawback is the travel from Philadelphia but I'll definitely be playing Bella Vista more in the future.

Still early spring conditions

Bella Vista is an awesome Golf course with an incredible layout! Elevation changes are on many holes and some well-placed ponds. If you haven't been here you're missing out.

It's getting close! Next week will be much better I guarantee it! Not that it was bad on the greens but when they are able to cut and roll this course is going to snap back into great condition!

Summer conditions in Fall

Bella is a great track other than #5 and maybe #17, but the rest of the holes make up for it. Wonderful conditions today with wonderful fairways and greens. Starter was friendly and well mannered. Great day of golf!

Wet weather
Used cart

Bella is normally one of my favorite courses. All the recent rain made it difficult this weekend, the rough was very long and wet but the greens were still super. It was cart path only, which slowed the pace down and the cart GPS wasn't working. Normally $66 is a great value - not so much today but still a great course.

Always fun to play.

Bella Vista is alway in good shape. The tee areas are not crowded with trees, allowing you to hit draw or fade off the tee. Fairways aren’t cut too tight. We play it at least a couple times per season, even with a 1 hr drive.

Not the Bella Vista I use to play

Forget the fact that it was brutally hot. The course was in the worst condition that I have ever seen it in the 15 years I have played there. The rough was unforgiving. Right off the cart path you could not find your ball. my son and I must have lost ten balls right off of the fairway. I understand that it has been a rainy Summer but grass should not be a foot long right off the fairway and two feet long in play. My son and I got very frustrated. even the fairways were were chunked up in many areas. I was really surprised how much repair that this past gem of a course needs. the only good thing was the new GPS system in the carts. I won't be going back this year.
