Slow Pace Country Club

Bella Vista is a beautiful, scenic public course for your above average golfers. It's a very relax atmosphere and the food is very good. However, it's imperative that management control the pace of the play, as one bad experience always lingers in one's memory when trying to go back. Setting standards will attract more golfers than not having one.

A Golden nugget in the country

This well developed course exceeded my expectations. The greens and fairways were well maintained, and the views on this well-planned development made for a very enjoyable round. Staff and other golfers were very friendly. The huge banquet hall and 19th hole made for a relaxing finish. Prices were also very reasonable. I'd recommend this course to anyone who enjoys challenging golf on a beautiful setting. I will be back.

good but not as good as in past

We played here on a fantastic deal from golfnow on Mothers Day for 24.00. The staff was a bit indifferent to us since we paid such a low rate... At some courses, they do treat you not quite as friendly when you have purchased a really low rate.. We've played here many times in the past but had not been here in the past 2 years..
The greens are very slow now where they used to be smoother and much faster.. The overall course conditions were pretty good.
The back 9 is the harder 9 and the long par 4 13th hole is really tough. The 2 par 3's on the back 9 are also demanding and very strong holes.. When you see a rating of 4.4 for this course on people's reviews...its a bit overhyped.. Bella Vista is an overall nice facility but its certainly no better than a 4.0 at top..

One of the best public courses in the area

I have always enjoyed playing Bella Vista, and a hot deal for just $17 dollars was too good to pass up. Course survived the winter fairly well. Greens are not at 100% yet, but they aerated them on Monday (4/27) so my expectations were not too high. They used small holes so it shouldn't take long to get ride of the bumbs. The rest of the course is in good shape and the layout is top-notch (including an island green par 3). Must play if you are in the area. Better than Turtle Creek, Raven's Claw, Ledrerach or Hickory Valley.

Some Quirky Holes

This was my first time at Bella Vista. I was surprised that it was in a housing development. The houses come into play a little bit on a few holes, but there are still houses on the course. I was in a twosome and we got behind a very slow foursome that the ranger should have asked to speed-up. It was a very windy day, so the par 5's were playing very difficult. It is a nice course, but I thought some of the par 3's were a little quirky. I would not pay more than $40 to play the course.

not worth playing

Very poor management and customer relations. Over 5 and a half hrs to play. One member of our group is a hockey referee. It took so long to play because of their poor scheduling that he knew he wouldn't be able to finish the back nine. He asked for a third cart so he could come back to the club house when he had to quit. Oh noooo against policy with no explanation. He offered to pay extra !!!!! OHHH NOOO against policy. He left vowing to never return. We all agreed and will not play there again. We are a group of 8 retired police and attorneys. We play 3 times a week. This is the 1st poor review ive given since I started using golfnow. about 5 years. Several excellent courses in the area.

Nice place to play

Bella Vista,, the right name for it,, I played it yesterday as a guest of an outing. Great shape in all aspects The tee boxes showed alittle wear and tear but that was it. Fairways, greens, sand all in proper form. the only thing that seemed odd to me was the closeness of the houses in some of the locations, kinda felt closterphobic. They have great par 3's the Island green as well as the par 3 by the club house. I'd play this Bella again,, maybe I'llbsee you there !!

Nice course

Played on a Sunday and got paired up by the pro shop. Took a little over 5 hours to play 18 holes on a Sunday morning. Staff in the shop was friendly. Would play again.
