Bella Vista is a Gem
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 greens
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.
Nice Track
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.
Excellent value
Course in great shape with interesting layout and friendly staff. Highly recommended. Great values, especially with golf now discount.
This is a well-maintaned and well-designed course and goes for one of the best values in the area.
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.
Course Knowledge Helps
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.
Wouldn't pay full price
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.
This coarse is very well maintained
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.
Plenty of room to air a few out
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.
Nice layout, trouble areas relatively easy to avoid
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.
Always in great shape!
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!
The course is super and beautiful
The condition of the course is super, and the course is beautiful especially the island Par 3. We enjoyed the time here and recommend it even it's relative short.
Great course lots of fun
What a great public course! I really enjoy playing this course every time I play it. Nice open course to bust out the driver on most holes. Absolutely beautiful course with lots of landscape changes. Of course the best par 3 in the area on the #14 hole, the best!
This course is a great value.
I usually play Bella Vista 3 to 5 times per yer. It is always in good shape. It has a mix of challenging holes and holes the average golfer can do well on. The island green, par 3 is memorable.
I fould the staff helpful and the pace of play has always been good.
Most fairways have generous hitting areas.
Course was well maintained. Lots of sand in the bunkers. Greens were in excellent condition.
Country Club Feel
Drove an hour to play here because of the reviews I read about it on GolfNow. It was well worth the drive. Multiple tee boxes, yardages everywhere, sprinkler heads, etc. Very nice layout with lots of elevation changes. An overall great golfing experience!!!
Great course for the money. Very enjoyable layout. Keep it in the fairway and you can score well

The course was beautiful and we really enjoy it; however, the pace of play was terribly long. We teed off at 3:03 pm on Saturday and finished at 8:23
5:20 minutes is a long time - in fact the longest that I have ever played in 30 years of golfing - 3:03 tee time was on schedule but finished at 8:23. Great course but something has to be done to keep play on track.
Modern
Bella Vista is a great modern layout and design. It was fairly long from the white tees, generously wide fairways, and large green complexes with some of the best putting surfaces I've played on. The course if very well maintained (including sand bunkers) and has some beautiful views!
Most challenging public course in Montgomery county.
Always in excellent shape. One of few courses I know that close when too wet.. instead of gouging players.
Wish they would flip the front and back nine. No fun starting on the # handicap hole especially when no driving range. And the 18th would be a better 9th hole.. than the finishing hole in my opinion. #10 is pretty wide open and would be a better place for first drive of the day... Greens are bigger than average but role true.. usually at least a 10... Have to have A game playing here...
