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.

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.
