Course Highlights
Corte Bella consistently earns praise for its wide, generous fairways and challenging layout with sloped greens and varied pin placements. Exceptionally friendly staff and smooth pace of play make every round a welcoming experience.

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, 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.

Cut the Grass!

I would have rated a 5 for course rating if the fairways and tee boxes would have been cut. The Fairways were like hitting out of intermediate rough. Its time to cut them short!

Course Great, Staff not

I live at Corte Bella and was very disappoint with the outside staff today, the starter was condescending and made you feel unwelcomed. I work in the golf industry in the midwest and know you need to treat people the right way., this club does nt get it.

Great Greens

The course is in great shape for this time of year. The greens are rolling very smooth and true, just a tad slow. The ball sits up clean in the fairway. Great value with the Golf now discount.

GREAT SEMI-PRIVATE COURSE

Wonderful day, except for the early wind. Course in great condition. greens still slow due to overseeding.

Difficult course to walk for seniors, too much distance between greens and next tee.

Hidden gem In the north west metro Phoenix area

Friendly staff, nice layout. Very challenging, but not to the point of being ridiculous. Always in good shape and always a good pace of play.

fun tim

we golfed in Late October and caught part of the overseed...so greens and tees where a little shaggy. Course also played cart path only... But we knew that all going in, and chose to play anyhow. Once greens get back up to speed in early December would be much more true to form. Other than the overseed....great course!!!

One of the best corurses on this side of town.

This is a great course. The staff was fantastic, very friendly and professional. The starter was happy, friendly and a nice guy.

The course is coming out of overseed. The greens were a bit fuzzy, but they putted true. I can see that the greens will be awesome when they finish growing in. The fairways are growing in nicely. I think it will be another great year for this course.

Good overall track

You can let it rip at Corta Bella. Wide and lush fairways.... I’d like to play it when the greens were rolling faster. It was off overseed and putting incredibly slow. Joined up with three members on the back 9 who were great to play with. The bunkers need a redo ... way too many rocks
