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.

A Nice Golf Experience

I have played this course previously, and returned because there was a good rate to get me to make the hour trip west. The course is a fair challenge with bunkers aplenty to give the golfer that extra thing to think about. Fairways and greens are in reasonable shape even though we are now getting into summer temps. The staff is very pleasant and the facilities are all modern and well maintained.

Very nice course and amenities. A fun and challenging layout with 6 different set of tees and numerous bunkers. The conditions were great for late May. Pace of play was right on 4 hours.

Let faster players play through

We waited on every hole and every shot for slower players who would not let us play through. Completely ruined the round. If there is no one ahead of you and the group behind you catches you on every shot you should let them play through. I wanted to skip a hole to get around them, but my playing partners did not want to skip a hole. So we waited on every shot for a two some to clear out.

The course is in fair condition for early summer. A few dry spots here and there. The greens were OK.

Decent Course - Nothing Special

Probably a bit more challenging than your average retirement desert course. Plenty of water and bathrooms which is appreciated. Good value and nobody in front of us for a 12:40 tee time on a Saturday.

good semi-private course

Everything was good, except the sand traps were like hitting off cement. The greens were on the slow side but acceptable.

fairways and greens in good shape.

Very Nice Course

I played this course on a hot deal after others I had golfed with recommended it. Though there was a little confusion at first getting out as a single, it all shook out just fine. The course is beautifully laid-out. Each hole stands on its own uniqueness, with bunkering and routing being cleverly done from one to the next. Landing areas are generous on most holes, with plenty of length for big hitters. I struggled with the length from the white tees, so I would probably suggest the copper tees as the best choice on the longer holes. Though this is the time of year the grasses are transitioning from winter rye, the fairways and greens were all in excellent shape. This is a very nice course, and certainly one of the best Sun City courses I have played.

Great conditions

Corte Bella is a lovely golf course in a gated community in the west valley. Mostly members they sell a few tee times to the public, especially in the summer. Some of the holes are short, but they are well bunkered and challenging. Conditions are great.

Lack of sand and rocks in traps

Some sand traps are good, but, many have rocks. This problem seems to be getting worse.

Good course ... poor timing

Ive played the course several times before and have enjoyed the course condition and the excellent greens. Unfortunately, the day I played they had just sanded the greens on one nine.

Also, the overall condition of the course was not up to the standards of previous years and seems to be declining each year.

Very good course

Very good course and very good value. Pace was good. The staff was not overly friendly. The young girl handling the carts was running around getting stuff done. You could tell she was new and inexperienced. She was being talked down to in front of me by her boss man. I felt bad for her. He had not respect for her or for me standing there listening to him chastise the girl. It wasn’t cool. Also we finished in under 4 hrs at 5.PM and the grill was closed. That wasn’t what I expected either. Good golf though

Sandy course

Great layout. Lots of sand, requires high shots to clear the sand in front of a lot of the greens. Was not expecting a shotgun start but staff was helpful.

Nice course

Very enjoyable round with. The course was in great shape. Wide fairways forgive the errant drive but you need to steer clear of the many bunkers. Several choices of tee boxes which are in perfect shape. Love the way they build those.

It’s just ok

This course is ok. The reviews on this course and the website made it sound as if it was top notch. It is just ok. That is not a bad thing, but you should know what your getting. Fairways are ok. Greens are very hard. Driving range is nice. Chipping and putting areas are just ok. Don’t overpay for this course, you’ll be disappointed if you do.

Nice course but....

Great course and, for the most part, great staff. We had perfect weather but ....this was easily the most pretentious group of members we ran into while touring multiple courses in Arizona, This is a private course and we were pleased that we were allowed to pay top dollar to play. Perhaps they're just not used to "outsiders" invading their course but we sure got some "looks" and not many smiles. I think the grumpy woman in the snack bar thought we were going to run away without paying. It all became very uncomfortable.
