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.

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.

First visit

This was my first time playing Corte Bella. The staff was professional and friendly. the course overall was challenging and in decent shape. The greens were another issue. The last aeration of the greens did not go well. there were spots on the green where there was a layer of black, which does not ley the grass. They had let the grass grow which made the green slow and bumpy.

Fun Visit

The pace of play was very good. The marshal was helpful and around all the time. Water and Ice on the course was great. Greens were very bad because they had been plugged.

Great Course!

We were able to play since it was the off season. The course and practice facilities were great! The greens were a bit firm and slow but that was to be expected. The golf and restaurant staff were fantastic!

wide open fairways

Really nice course with lots of bunkers. Temps hitting 100 and plenty of water on course , which is good, because not much shade. Fairways wonderful, tee boxes mostly flat, greens good for considering the temps.

Top Notch

First time playing here. We had the course to ourselves so pace of play was great! The fairway and greens were in excellent condition. Bunkers were pristine. Pin placement was challenging. I had a coconut shrimp appetizer after. The entire experience was top notch! I would recommend to others and will go back again.

Take a Chance

I looked for a place to play under 4125 for myself and a guest. The criteria was within 30-minute drive and a course I had never played. Corte Bella met both of those requirements. The staff was very friendly; the range balls and cart were included in the price. the range was a bit beat up, and the balls were old, but it was fine for a warmup. The course conditions were good. The sand was fluffy and just fine. the greens were well maintained and lush, but a bit slow for my personal taste (ran about a 10, but I knew that from the other reviews I had read). Overall, very good impression and I would play here again.

Excellent On and Off Course

Overall, Very nice lush green conditions throughout. My two rounds recently (4/25 & 4/29) started with very pleasant and welcoming check in. The starter, Sierra, is accommodating, professional and very efficient. Flexible as well, to allow for my single player booking, to get out on time, and front or back tees, whichever was determined to likely be best pace. Appreciate all the staff I encountered.

Course conditions are excellent right now, with smooth, medium speed greens, and nice fairway conditions. A couple of soggy spots on fairways and a few neglected sand bunkers but nothing to overly negative about. Thanks to all at Corte Bella.
