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.

It's hot but course condition was sad

Normally I would recommend this course. I would not suggest it be played when temps exceed 90 because it was dried out. 80% of fairways were brown and crunchy with obvious thatch marks. Bunkers very hard too.

Booked ahead and paid $40 each which is way too high for what you get.

Terrible condition. Pretty on a picture, but, terrible to play.

Greens are OK, but, fairways are terrible burnt out, hard and basically no grass.

Cool Spot

Fun course- cool layout with easier par 4s that you can score on. Greens are tricky but very nice and true- firm, not too fast but not slow at all. Definitely a course that should be talked about more, one of my favorites on the west side.

Great Day

From the time you pull into the parking lot until the time you leave, I don’t think you could have a better day. It’s a great course very player friendly.

First Time Playing

5/23/21 Round

First time playing here. My assessment includes : Greens - excellent - very consistent; Tee Boxes - excellent; fairways - very good; bunkers - fair, little sand to hard pan; cart paths - excellent; staff - excellent. Enjoyable course, fun to play, every hole is unique and challenging. The landscaping is fantastic. Recommend to play, a bit pricey but worth it.

Nice open fairways

I always love to play this course. It's a beautiful course with open fairways. A lot of sand traps that make it challenging. I'll definitely be back for more rounds.

Nice golf course

Very pleasant to play here. The greens didn’t bite and there was some wear and tear from cart use. Overall nice. Will come back at a discounted rate but would not play here at the winter rate. Starter was exceptionally nice!

Course design and green conditions Fabulous!

Green were amazing,fast and true ! Great layout, lots of bunkers plays much more challenging than the local retirement course in the area ! Love this course, 2nd time played will be back. Only drawback they wouldn't allow us to bring our electric cart, but my tee fee included a cart- not sure the difference.
