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.

Corte Bella review

The course was in great shape. The pro shop staff was friendly. Pace of play was very good even though the course was full. Had a very nice young man clean our clubs and carry the bags to the car afterwards. Have definitely paid more and gotten less at other clubs. Very good experience!

A good solid well-manicured course

Weather was perfect for our twosome as we found a good price for Corte Bella. Tee time was 1:00 PM. We might have been able to finish the round if we had started a smidge later, but not much. However, that is simply because the day was overcast and getting dark at 5:00 - 5:30. We occasionally waited for the group in front of us on the front nine, but it was clear sailing on the back nine. Course was in very good shape. Fairways were in excellent condition. Greens were well manicured, but a bit on the slow side. The course layout is traditional with greens well protected from slightly off-target shots. Sand was in good shape, not caliche traps that is often found in the valley. All-in-all a very good course.

Nice course

Cartpath only because of overseeding. Greens were painfully slow but give it a couple weeks. Fairway a little 5ick due to overseeding. I’ve played this course before when conditions were fantastic.

Great Course

The only negative was no beverage cart. As far as the course, The fairway bunkers were dirt. I believe they must have plans to get some sane in them. Great layout and the course will be great in about 3 weeks after the oversees. Fantastic staff all around.

It’s ok

Slow pace today at 8am. Course is getting ready for overseed so the condition was dry. Rough was too long for some in the group. Bunkers are getting redone and are in really bad shape. Charged near full price for an ok course.

The course was getting ready for reseeding and they were working on a few traps, which do not interfere with the round at all. This course is a 5 normally, after the maintenence being done now.
Absolutely the best staff I have encountered in this region.

Great shape! You’ll have fun!

Staff was friendly and the course was beautiful. Go, you’ll have fun. 4-some in front was a bit slow, but it’s semi-private so you’re gonna run into some members who play comfortably. If I’m being super picky, greens were a touch on the fluffy side, but just meant you could be that much more aggressive with some putts.

Fun Course

This is a very challenging but fun course. The greens were good, the fairways were decent, the bunkers had no sand and the fringe was not in great shape. I think they were working on re-sanding the bunkers though.

Improved Bunkers

I've always liked the course and the staff at this course. The course was in good shape, only a few bald spots on a couple of fairways.
The bunkers were much improved, they were marked as under repair so you could pull out the ball but I played from several of them green side and they were sanded and nice.
Not having a cart person on a hot day with water stations being limited was not good.

Great Condition

The fairways and greens are in great condition (especially for summer). My only criticism of the course is the bunkers. Many of the bunkers are a little light on sand..

Terrible greens, slow and not smooth

I play here a couple times a year but this was bad. Greens were not smooth, very very slow. Sand traps are being redone so it’s dirt and mud… lots of burnt out fairway

They did have nice ice towels and the starter person, cart guy and clubhouse were great!
