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.

Good conditions

The course was in great condition before the overseed. They have rakes out in the sand traps, but golfers have forgotten how to use them. There are a good number of sand traps and it’s difficult to play out of others footsteps. Nonetheless it’s a great course.

Nice course. Today was the last day to play before 2020 Overseed. Fairways were nice, people were friendly. Greens.....seem to always break at the cup? Not sure if that was supposed to be that way? Or the result of the cups being placed. Anyway, was infuriating!!!! Again, nice course and nice people. Go check it out for yourself.

Sloooow play

They had a girls high school tournament going on.. By the 5th hole we started backing up, at one point having three foursomes on the tee and fairway.

They should not have booked tee times for after the girls started their tournament.

We ended up stopping after nine holes.

We have played this course several times and never had a problem. This was just poor tee time management on this day by the course.

Corte Bella is Great

The course was in great shape. The course is not tough for better players, fairways are wide and forgiving, but you still have to find fairways and greens and use some golf course management as there are bunkers that come into play. Course is in great shape, greens are smooth and roll true. I would recommend this course to anyone.

Solid Course

This course is in very good condition. Great deal for the money. The only small gripe I have is the tee boxes grass is quite long. Other than that it’s always a nice round here

Nice course friendly staff

I have play this course few times, and I have never been disappointed and the course condition. Greens were slower than usual, but still have a true roll. Able to play early under excellent weather conditions. Will return.

A Course in the Burbs

Set in an upscale community in Surprise, this is a well maintained course that offers an above average challenge. The white tees ( one up from the tips) offers a course length that is more than enough for the average golfer. Of course, for the big hitters, the tips give the added length. Its a fun course in a pleasant part of the Valley.

Had to play again

I had just played this course recently. It was so good I came back to play the weekend. The pace was slower on the weekend, plus the group ahead of us just plain sucked. We had a good round. The greens which were sanded last time seem to have absorbed the sand as they were not sandy today. Putting was fairly smooth. One playing partner could not figure the greens out, but the other 3 of us had no problems.

Enjoyable round

Everything went well. Got off on time. Pace was excellent. Weather was good. Conditions were good. The greens were sanded, but they were not that bad. Just had to play a little less break was all. The greens here were better than some other courses I've played recently.
