Transfusions

Bella Vista is one of the area’s gems !! The greens are always in great shape and the course is very well kept. Play slows a little on the weekends but it is worth the wait ! The par 3 island green on the back 9 is always a treat to play. Two tiered green, that is big enough to hit, but don’t miss. The drop area is tougher than the tee shot ! The Monday day bartender makes a perfect transfusion to loosen the muscles or make you for get the 16 - 3 putts you made.

Experience the Island Green.

Of the many courses in the area, that I have played, this has all the challenges you will see or want as a test of your golfing abilities.

The par 5 first hole will put your ball placement to the test. A slight dogleg left on your Tee shot leaves you in a position to either lay-up or take a chance to go over the narrow ravine with your 2nd shot.

The green is elevated and runs sharply left toward the bunker. If you walk away with a par, you will feel confident. But wait, there is more..

Hole no. 2 is waiting for revenge. Its fairway is elevated and guarded by bunkers both left and right, then goes down hill for a second up hill shot to a large elevated green guarded by bunkers above and right of the green.

Holes 3 thru 9 are designed to lull you to feel it over, but your day is just getting started..

This is a course that will challenge your golf knowledge and skills..lots of character and good size greens.

No.10 is a par 5 with an up hill drive, then the fairway dives downhill and to the right. The large green is elevated and guarded by bunkers both left and right.

Holes 11, 12 and 13 have their characteristics too.

Then you are standing on the Tee at no. 14. Surrounded by water, this hole has a 2 tier pin location and will challenge your club selection. Swing with confidence and you might make par..

Holes 15, par 4, 16, par 5, and 17 par 4 are challenging too.

When I came to no.18, I was ready to call it a day, but, I was stareing at a narrow down hill par 3 with a pond on the left and spectators on the patio watching you.

Make par here and you get a round of applause.

Disappointing

The course conditions have deteriorated significantly. The areas around the greens are burned out. The fringes and greens have crabgrass. The greens weren’t mowed for Saturday play and were very slow. The bunkers weren’t raked, some were hard from watering. Just my opinion but either the greens keeper doesn’t know what they are doing or management isn’t giving them the resources to maintain it.

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.
