Bella Vista Golf Course

The course is in great shape for being the end of August. The greens rolled true, the fairways were lush, and the scenery was fantastic as always. This course is set up nicely for both the novice and seasoned golfer, and provides a great challenge overall.

sure wish they had posted aeration warning on GolfNow like most other courses do. Greens were still recovering from aeration... Not like you can ask about it on GolfNow.

Other than that, they need a ranger to speed up weekend hackers who are drinking and betting... and more worried about beer and cighars than pace of play.

Was not advised the greens were aerated and would have thought the rate would be discounted like other courses in the area. The bunkers are terrible for an upscale public course They are very inconsistent.. Some have very little sand and others have so much it goes over the top of your shoes. It is a great layout and fun to play. I don't believe it is worth the prime time rate on the weekends.

Had first tee time so I played pretty quick some comments on the course at its current state. If you're use to playing out of short rough you're going to be in for a surprise. I'm not sure the rough is as long as it is because they want it that way or they're having a tough time keeping it cut because it was pretty short in some areas and brutal in others. Course isn't very long even from the back tees its only 6400 yds with not a ton of trouble aside from the rough.

The greens were very slow for the price and condition of the rest of the course. If you're a local and don't mind paying extra for a nicer than your average course it's a decent value, but for me it's a little of a hike and felt it was a little on the expensive side.

For anyone that never played this course, GO!!!! The layout is fantastic! You will not be disappointed!

Course conditions are outstanding and I would have given it a 5, If it wasn't for the greens not being lightning fast like normal. They roll true but just not as fast as normal. Actually baffling my buddy and me. maybe they just weren't as dry as we thought.. do not let that deter you from going because it's that special!

Course was in excellent condition. It's a challenging course. Have to be in the fairway, but you use most of your clubs. Good time playing there.

First time here, got it in a Hot Deal for $30. It's regularly $50. Arrived early and were rewarded by being able to go out right away. We might have been the first 4some out. Course was in great shape, fairways were nice and the greens were fast. Have to say the rough was pretty brutal though, the idea is to stay out of it I guess..lol. played in about 3.5 hrs. It is definitely worth the trip!!!

Played a day after it rained. The pro shop gave my father in law a handicap flag( he's 78) and asked that we take it easy on the fairways. Beautiful golf course and the greens were in excellent shape and fast.

Although this is still my favorite course for the money in the area, one of the reasons that I liked it so much is that the sand traps were taken care of and they had a lot of sand in them. Now whenever I play their pack down it seems like they don't come through and rake them, or they haven't added sand in a few years. I used to tell everyone I knew that played that it was the best course for the value because it was like a country club with Public course pricing. Please work on the traps. The rest of the course is great the only other downfall is no driving range.

have not played in Bella Vista in 2 years and returned for an early morning round. The course was immaculate and in the best shape I've ever seen it. The greens were smooth and fast with no marks. The fairways were lush and perfect. The tees were also in very good shape. There is a real good mix of holes and you'll use every club in your bag on the course. The hardest holes are the long par 4 9th and 13th holes, that will test the best golfers anywhere. The island green 14th is a fun hole with various teeing options. The only thing lacking here is a driving range but by all means come here to play soon.

Challenging but fair. Great conditions. Staff is awesome.

Really well maintained, A+++++ on the condition of the greens, and the pace of play was on point. The overall layout isn't anything to write home about, however there are a couple of nice unique holes. In the end, definitely a course I would play again, but if I'm looking for a super memorable round in regards to layout, I'll go elsewhere.

Everything about Bella Vista was fantastic. The pro shop worker and starter were friendly and helped us out because it was our first time playing. Course was in pristine conditions. Certainly one of the best courses I have played so far in PA this year with regards to the conditions. Bunkers were filled with sand and the greens rolled true and were somewhat fast but not too difficult. The hardest part about Bella Vista, at least for me, is that it demands great tee shots on every hole with your driver. I will be back soon to hopefully shoot a better round!

First time playing ....will play it again for sure. The course is in great condition the greens a tad slow. Very nice layout and well marked. Enjoyed it! The bonus was a member of our group aced # 7.

Played with fellow Golf Now guy Tyler. This is one of those courses that won't let you go until your tee time and they want 2 to a cart. That said, we had no one in front of us and played at our own pace. Course was in great shape. I wish the greens were more receptive though. Lofted shots barley left a mark and the ball would run. Has an "island" green that was very accessible from the gold tee.

Over all great experience on what turned out to be a beautiful day.

This is one of the nicest public courses in the SE PA region. We visit Bella Vista 3 to 4 times a year. The course is wide open and a pleasure to play. Always well maintained. The holes vary in length and in the particular challenges they present. One hole has an island green. Speaking of the greens, they keep them in very good shape. However many of them seem to break a lot less than they read. Overall, the course played very well on a wet rainy day last weekend. The only thing missing is a driving range or a place to warm up. Bring your A game.

For the value this is a good course. Pace of play was an issue. Back nine waited every hole and groups behind us were skipping ahead. A marshall would have been nice if we could have been able to play through two extremely slow foursomes. These groups left some nasty gouges in tee boxes and ball marks on the greens were not being repaired. I guess you have to expect this with weekend play and golfers who don't know or care about golf etiquette.
