Bella Vista Golf Course

I thought the course was in excellent shape. The pace of play was fast except for our group who took 4 3/4 to do it.

One of the best courses in Eastern Pa, for conditions and value.

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..

Played on a perfect Saturday afternoon with some friends. Course is always well maintained and staff is friendly. We will certainly be playing there again.

Some funky tee shots for a first time player, but a great course for the money. Will be back again.

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.

Well maintained public course with some attention needed to tee boxes

Enjoy the challenges but still an open course which helps for shots that aren't perfect.

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.

Great day at Bella Vista. Pulled up and the staff took care of the clubs and got me set up for my 10:21 tee time. Easy check in at the golf shop and the use of the Golfnow printed voucher. Played the first nine very well and had a great apreciation of the greens and fairways. Staff has done a great job in maintaining the course. Back nine got away from me a little, but still the same pristine condition on the course itself. Had a host of different lies and all proved to be challenging. I will certainly be back to play this year. Great time.

Nice course! Some holes are somewhat on top of each other. I don't think the course is tough as its rating. The greens are always beautiful!! One of courses that I play several times a year.

I play bella vista frequently. It's pretty open with the exception of a few holes, not too penalizing if you're not driving it straight. Greens are ususally in good shape and pace of play is rarely an issue (my group usually plays before 8, there are usually 1 or 2 rangers monitoring pace of play). Would defnitely recommend..... also suggest grabbing a bite to eat and beer post round, the markely grill has very good food.

Course in great shape with interesting layout and friendly staff. Highly recommended. Great values, especially with golf now discount.

This has to be one of my favorite courses in the area. It is a great value and you get a lot for what you pay. Gets you to think a bit and plan out your shots ahead of time. Almost always in great condition, usually has some of the smoothest and most well-manicured greens in the area for a public course. Well worth your time to check it out.

This is a very well kept course. Course knowledge would help. Consider a yardage book if its your first time. The island green is pretty generous. The 18th (a par 3) is a visually strange hole, but fun. Overall I enjoyed the course. If it were closer, I would play it more.

Looked like greens had been spiked recently but the real problem was the ball marks on the green. Had to repair 2-3 ball marks in my line on nearly every green and they were VERY slow. Pin placements were borderline unfair and it made scoring nearly impossible. Could be a real nice track if they took better care of the greens.

Coarse is really nice. Playing from the whites or tips is fun and challenging. Greens were nice and sold and bunkers well kept. Only thing for me that is disappointing is the drive. Little more then an hour away, but is well worth the drive. Ill be back.

This course isn't exceptionally difficult as there's a lot of room to miss with your tee shots. I was a bit surprised that after all the rain we had this summer that the rough was showing a lot of signs of burnout. Tees, fairways and greens were in great condition. I found a few unrepaired ball marks on every green. Can't understand why people can't fix ball marks. Even if you can't find your own, just fix 2 others!

I enjoyed the course but there wasn't anything that "wowed" me about it. Pace of play was 1:50 on the front and got held up on the back but still finished in under 4:15.

I played an afternoon round (3pm) and was done before 7pm. The greens were a little slow and bumpy, but that was to be expected with the recent rains.

There was a few spots on the fairways which did not drain well, and the fairways were very soft.

All in all, a great place to play. The grille afterwards have some friendly folks and good food.

I'd like the greens to be a little faster but they roll very true so very little to complain about. Fairways are always maintained. A few divot marks around landing and feeding areas. Tee boxes are immaculate! Everyone is flat and placed in nice spots! Love this course!
