Great shape despite recent rain

Played on May 1st after we were hit with a ton of rain over the past few days. Course was soggy, but much better than expected. Finished in 3.5 hours, but have to caveat with the fact that the course was pretty empty (probably because of the weather). Fun layout, friendly staff. Have played here a few times and will certainly be back.

Bella Vista es Bene

First time playing the course and I was thoroughly impressed. Virtually all holes are interesting and attractive. And tough enough (slope 134 from back tees of 6,400+ yds). Course condition was very good (The greens had recently been aerated but were very puttable.).
Also, fairly open; little in the way of woods or high grass to lose balls in.

Always Enjoy Bella Vista

I drive an hour to play here... its always in good condition... the greens had recently been airated, but still playable.

It was a bit chilly, we only had a twosome ahead of us, so no problems with a fast round.

Plan on going back a few times this year

good course. somewhat challenging. layout is very nice. food and beverages are way overpriced but the golf is great. pro shop and ranger have a attitude. they act like everyone is a hacker and need to speed up even when you are ahead of time.

Early Round at Bella

Really like Bella, a good variety of holes and course is in good shape most times. My only issue with the course is that I don't like 18 as the finishing hole, a long downhill par 3 with trouble everywhere. Also, with this round, we booked the "fast" time at 7:50 and were constantly held up by the group in font of us who were at least a hole behind the group in front of them. It didn't seem like they were ever pushed to speed up.

Nice Surprise

First time here, loved the course. Nice staff, interesting layout, nice elevation changes and very good shape. Only small drawbacks...visible housing on some holes and strange thing with greens. The greens looked to be bent grass, cut well, and appeared they would be lightning quick, but they were much slower than they look. I'd rather have slower greens in great shape than fast ones that aren't, but it takes a couple holes to adjust. $45 on a Saturday morning and $65 peak in summer is a great deal here.

Good layout

I like to evaluate course design and I didn't see anything on this course I didn't really like. The holes were varied and the terrain was used well. Generally I am not a fan of courses that end with a par 3 but at Bella Vista at least it was a good hole that has the potential to make or break a score. Course was well bunkered and while challenging, not overly penal in most areas. I played in early November on a chilly and very windy day and course was still in very good condition. Greens were on the slow side but that was to be expected this time of year. I could see that when they carry speed you would have to be very careful with the flat stick.

No place for singles

I booked to join a 3xsome. A group of 4 golfers arrived. They were told I would be joining them. The group then told the starter that they had phoned the pro shop earlier, and they were given the OK to play as a foursome. The starter did not check with the pro shop to confirm, and simply told me that I "better go and try to catch somebody". I asked how could that be since I booked through GolfNow. He had no answer. So I was simply dismissed for the group they chose to accommodate. I should receive the same level of priority as any other golfer. And clearly a "reservation" means little. So, I will never go there again.

Plus, their greens are like carpet. They tout themselves as having great conditions. Well, if their greens are slower than the most unkempt muni-course, I have to disagree with them.

Beware of the fairway bunkers...

Nice course, windy day challenges, great value thru golfnow, staff even let us tee off a little early. 78 mile round trip , with tolls and gas prices the rate has to be low to make overall value worthwhile which it was.

Very good course, if you score the right price.

Booked tee time for $27.00 per person which was well worth it. The course was in good order, the pace was a bit slow but no one riding up on us throughout which was nice. Plays pretty open for being in a development. Minus the 45-50' drive there, it was a real steal for the price. If I were closer to that area, I would definitely frequent BV more.
