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.

Amazing Course for Price

I kept saying how beautiful this course was while playing with a member. Greens were 10.5 and super fun undulations. Highly recommend for a bucket list course.

Some of the greens were a little beat up... ball marks. Tees a little over grown.

Good challenge

Course staff is outstanding. Every aspect of the course, outside of the bunkers, is in great shape. The bunkers could use more sand.

Overall, a good challenge for any golfer. Will definitely play here again.

Nice higher end course

With the exception of the fairways on a couple of holes, the course was in great shape. Lots of challenges, but overall a fair layout suitable for golfers of all abilities. Not the cheapest course in town, but I may play again on a hot deal.

Tough course under challenging conditions

This course always presents a challenge but is a great track for those that want to push themselves. I tend to look for courses around the 6400yd length and the combo tee box (black/white) presents the perfect length and target golf day for me. It was a bit windy and chilly to start but by the turn the sun helped to warm things up and it made the day perfect. The greens ran smooth, if just a tad slow. There is just enough break to be subtle and keep you guessing.

Nice couse

First time playing this course. Excellent practice facilities to warm up. Layout was open and fair , course was in good not great condition but that was more time of year than anything else. Perhaps their over seed didn't come in as well as they wanted. Greens in good shape, the only negative about course conditions are the bunkers. They should be redone for drainage and sand should be added. Staff inside and outside were friendly and helpful.

Would play this course again.

Great course, very tough greens

My wife and I played this course and found it fun, well laid out and manageable. However the greens were overly tough, often mounded and domed which made them quite tough to hold. I think, perhaps unreasonably, that if you hit the center of the green from a high approach the ball should remain on the green. In other words a good shot should be rewarded and not require a professional backspin to the ball. This is the first of many local courses which had fluffed up the bunkers, which I appreciated very much, it is fun to get out with a decent bunker shot.
