The condition was fantastic. Tee boxes were plush along with well manicured fairways and the ball was rolling true to form.

Variety of holes, great condition

Excellent condition course, nice variety of holes. Several interesting holes make for a memorable experience. The finishing hole completes your round with a downhill par 3 that requires a straight shot for your par.

Everything in the Bag ?!?!?!?!?!?

IT`s possible you could use every club in the bag. This place is a real JEWEL of a golf course. Just north of Philly , They have the price a little high, But with golf now,,, it`s in my budget,,,,, This course has every shot you can think of. blind tee shots, uphill and downhill holes, and a taste of the PLAYERS ( an Island green ) that you`ll go back for a second helping... If I had to pick one thing, The carts,,,,, I wish they would have better carts. GPS would be nice,,,

,Besides that,, From the tips at 6400 plus yrds,, this place is CHOICE!!! If you don`t visit Bella Vista,,, Your gonna miss out on a GR8 track!!

Fun, fair play

Bella is a good play for most levels. Better players may miss some toughness, but if you're out with buddies of varied levels this track is for your group. Pick the tee box for your level and go have fun. Always in great condition, with a friendly staff. Signature hole is 14, an island green par three. Take enough club to hit the middle of the green no matter where the flag is and two putt for par. Don't tempt fate and a large number.

Very challengiing

Course was in very good shape, except the greens had been aerated. The greens were rolled and ran fairly true, Once the holes close up on the greens, they should be in great shape. Played from the blue tees, shoot around 90 on average, maybe a little lower. Fun and challenging, one of the best courses in the area.

65 degrees in late November!

Great day with a good start after a frost delay. The conditions were good for this time of year. Big back up on the turn which eventually thinned out by the 13th hole.

Staff was not very welcoming

Staff was not very friendly, not just to me but took a call while checking us in and was not friendly to the caller either.

The course was in good shape for the end of the season. Beautiful back drop on several holes with the fall foliage.

The snack house doors were open but no employees could be located.

I will probably give this course another chance eventually due to it's beauty and would recommend to local friends but I would not send friends out of their way to try this course due to staff.

A good test of golf, perfect greens.

Excellently conditioned golf course. If you missed a putt it's because YOU missed the putt. No untrue rolls here. Good speed too.
The layout is a good mix of longer and shorter holes, and they all have something to keep your interest.
A nice round of golf.

Bella Vista

Drove an hour to get here and was not disappointed. Staff was friendly, the starter gave us some tips for a couple holes which was nice as no one in the group had played the course before. Liked the par 3's, especially the island green. Overall it's well worth the money and I will definitely be returning here.

Outing beforehand

This club certainly is willing to overbook. They had a shotgun outing around 9AM and the number of groups starting around our 1136 on a Monday morning was more than the course could handle. They've done this before.

Other than that its a good course by architect Jim Blaukovitch who typically does courses that are good for both average and better golfers.

Hot and Humid

I had a hard time dealing with the heat and humidity on the front nine almost to the point of packing it in. I am 64 and handicapped. I was just frustrated and worn out. We decided to grab a bite to eat at the turn and stopping for a little while made a big difference. A breeze came up and the humidity dropped and the rest of the round was quite pleasant. My play picked up and I enjoyed the rest of the day.My partner had been playing really the best round that he had played all year so,that probably didn't help my attitude on the front anyway. We both played well on the back nine and I was able to get even on our side bets. By the way, this course is one of the best conditioned in Eastern Pa. I do wish that people would fix their ball marks though. This course is fun to play for all levels of golfers. It's an easy drive from NJ and the Philly area. Don't miss this gem.
