Bella Vista Golf Course

Don’t play. Over priced. Plus over booked. Slow play. Greens in bad shape. Won’t play ever again.

My first time playing the course. The pace of play for a Wednesday afternoon was a bit slow but that may have been a testament to the course since it was really crowded. Must be a local favorite. It is about an hour away from me but I feel it was worth the drive. We completed the round in 4.5 but we waited at every hole. Definitely worth it though. Would play again.

I've been playing this course for over 10 years, course is usually is in above average conditions, minus bunkers. Bunkers are very hard and tons of rocks. I still enjoy playing this course. Fun layout, signature island green par 3! As much as I like this course, yesterday was my last time playing here. The staff has gotten ruder and ruder recently. My playing partner paid for his round and was waiting for his receipt to give to the starter. Instead of just saying you don't need a receipt, we were told...you can leave now! Not too big a deal. So had a late afternoon teetime, cutting it close to be able to finish. We did fairly well and got to the 18th tee. Staff member beckons me over to him like I'm a child instead of coming to me. Then he rudely starts tapping it wrist as if you say time. It was 8:15 and they needed the carts back. No one ever told us what time the carts had to be back. It was bright enough still to let us finish the last hole, a par 3. Instead, he told us very rudely, you can finish but not with the cart. Go return the cart and walk. He talked to us as if we were beneath him or as if we were little kids who didn't listen. This was the first time we were told about time to return carts.

The course for this time of year was in great shape. We all enjoyed the round even though it was cart path only. Started was very friendly but the nasty person in the pro shop is a very rude person I had 2 bad dealings with him but love the course.

I had always wanted to play this course, the wait was ¹worthwhile, had my best round of the year a spotty 74 due to 3 double boggles back 9. It was a cart path only today so I had to walk. Had two other golfers who I joined and they were a great company.

The staffer at the pro shop was nice who allowed me to tee off one hour early from my teetime.

I am coming back to fix those three double boggles.

Great Layout & terrific conditions for Mid-November

staff was incredibly welcoming on an otherwise wet and dreary day. finished the round in around 3.5 hours - will definitely go back when its, hopefully, drier
