The course at Corte Bella Golf Club was done in a desert style but avoids the target greens and forced carries that are at some desert courses in the area. It has a classic layout on a beautiful terrain of ficus, Italian cypress, and oleander, creating a scenic ambiance. The designer, Greg Nash, kept traditions of classical golf architecture in mind and made a course that champions the strategic player. Both the immaculately manicured greens and the wide fairways are well protected by bunkers on this course, making accuracy on the approach shot a priority. Water hazards come into play on three holes at Corte Bella Golf Club.

Good round

Overall a good round for the course The fairways were in good shape and the greens while they putted slow were consistent. Nothing out of the ordinary except the slow players in front of us. There was a couples group two tee times in front of us. They slowed down play the entire day. The group in front of us quit after the first 9 due to slow play. The back 9 pace was worse. I understand if you want to play as a couple and your spouse does not play well, but if that is the case then either let faster players through or go to an executive course which is not as difficult. This way everybody gets to enjoy their day. Watching them hit the ball a few yards each time was excruciatingly painful. There was no ranger was on the course to keep pace.

Nice Course

Great layout/design. Very fair course and sets up for a fun day of golf. Although I've played this track 30+ times it seems like it needs a little attention regarding course conditions/maintenance. We encountered several areas that hadn't been mowed is several weeks randomly along the round. And several bunkers that could use a refreshing.

Fairways, greens, and facilities were in good shape.

I always look forward to playing here and will be back again.

Skam Dunk

This is course is easily in the best shape of any course I have played this summer. Tees, fairways, and greens solid with to no bare areas. Ice and water machines are located in the prefect location on the course. Outside service staff area polite and considerate, and restaurant staff area top notch. GPS measures to front. middle and back, but the proshop provides a +- pin sheet that is very helpful.

A little dry and thin

The course for summer is in decent shape. The fairways are a bit dry and thin, but still playable. The greens were slow. You will have to adjust to that. The carts are beat up. Mine rattled the whole way through the course. The bigger concern was the brakes barely worked. The carts do have GPS and a cooler, which is handy.

Great course

Great course. Az summer conditions, with grass thin in some places but is expected and did not change play. Greens probably done 2-3 weeks ago and didn't effect play. Only bummer is tee boxes and this is just a personal thing. I don't carry a driver and tee off with 13 degree fairway wood on the deck. Never use tees. Several tee boxes were very uneven and not level. Don't mind rounded for drainage but the peaks/ valleys/ peaks a bother probably more because it's an easy fix for grounds crew. Would gladly pay course again. Thank you.

Slow and burnt greens...

Slow and burnt greens...is really the only real complaint. I was really looking forward to playing here but it was kind of a let down. For the cost it was ok but any higher and I'd definitely recommend playing somewhere else.
