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.

late round delays

Perhaps the late tee time was a mistake but a foursome with decent pace should be able to finish before a late summer day/evening. We played 17 holes at a good pace but wwete forced to stop due to several groups vying to finish the par 3 18th. The course was very green, maybe two poorly kept tee boxes of the lot we played. As for my expectations for a course open to the public, only a few come to mind. I certainly plan to not only play these links again but will spread the word to friends. My most serious reason I would consider not returning is due to the poor bar tending at the turn..

Great layout, interesting greens to read

This course was in great shape. Everything was was as it should be. The greens were just challenging enough and most fairways were were impeccable. Some long Par 5's and challenging Par 3's. give this place a try and you won't be disappointed. When your done, stop in the Pub for a great chicken sandwich and cold beer. Very moderately priced as well.

Course is very playable and forgiving on off line drives.

Arrived a little late but they were accommodating and paired me with another two some. Players tend to be nice. Course is well maintained. For most part course is opened and forgiving on bad drives. Fairly challenging. Excellent burgers at the turn.
