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.

Corte “Better”

Corte Bella is the best course located in Sun City West’s actively adult community. Located in the gated community of Corte Bella. The course conditions are always pristine and worth the price of admission, provided of course you purchase through GolfNow’s HOTDEAL, otherwise the price of admission is a bit exorbitant, especially during peek season. All in all it’s a beautiful course that plays long from the tips and provides a stiff challenge for the avid golfer burn enough forgiveness for the beginner. The pro shop is stocked with name brand foods at fair prices. If you’re in the area Corte Bella is worth a try.

Frost warning

The people at the check-in counter did not tell us there was an hour to hour and half delay until AFTER we paid the fees. After we paid he then told us there was a an hour to hour and half delay. Our tee time was at 12:15. We did not get to tee off till 2:00. With the delay we did not get in all 18 holes. Steep price to pay for 14 holes!! Please, in the future let golfers know prior to paying fees, then we could decide whether not to play.

Too fast of greens

I have thoroughly enjoyed this course for several years, After a difficult summer of maintenance the course came back with a vengeance and was in fantastic condition. However, yesterday they course was not score able and far too difficult for seniors or any a amateur for that matter simply because the greens were cut ridiculously fast. Too fast to enjoy. One putt was a typical example,,, I putted slightly uphill with just a gentle tap and it ran up and past the hole about 2 ft then rolled to the right and down the green to about 23 feet from the pin. No one can putt these greens unless each were fortunate to go into the hole. Another 8 ft putt came up about 18 inches short then rolled back past me about 12 ft. They must have been 12 to 14 on the stint. I cannot enjoy this course as long as the greens are this difficult to enjoy. This is a senior development and seniors should be able to enjoy a round not be punished for hitting a good shot. Few greens held an approach, hitting in the front portion then running off the back several feet. I am hopeful they will return this beautiful course back to the playing conditions it has been for several seasons. The new greens keeper must like to punish golfers rather than reward them for a good shot. I am a senior, 80 yrs of age, and generally shoot between 76 and 82 but yesterday I quit keeping score losing a stroke on every green. they also need to take the rocks out of the bunkers. I want to enjoy this course again when they correct these factors.

A Fine Test of Golf

The Course is in excellent condition. It is a playable course with numerous challenges for the better player. At the same time, it is very fair to the less skilled or one who has lost some distance over the years. The Outside Staff is excellent, catering to the players' needs.

Outstanding overall experience. I will play there again.

Can always count on this course for its consistency.

Wish the greens were quicker as it would elevate

the difficulty and "keep you on your toes "

Nothing exciting

Played on a cart path only day. The course needed a lot of grooming. The layout was not unusual. Enjoyed the last three holes.

Will not play again.

Greens rollling fine for overseeding season

Nice reception as usual and great service at the corner. Cart Path only so about 4.5 hours as expected. Always fun to play Corte Bella as it presents a different look than the typical Surprise tracks with a bit more variation in the par 4’s in particular. Greens were rolling reasonably fast given we are in overseeding season.

good value

My only complaint is in the condition of the sand traps. Not enough sand to blast. I sculled two sand shots resulting in DBogie. I know you are not supposed to go into traps but occasionally you do. Easy course except if you enter thr traps.

Nice layout & in fine shape to boot.

Tyson is very cordial in the Pro shop & Drew out side does keep busy. Late afternoon round solo, undulation is plentiful throughout the course that leaves all sorts of lies. Pin placement on several greens were downright diabolical with speed to roll out on slopes down hill ! Receptive to shots that leave legitimate ball marks but still firm. Been here a couple of times and certainly enjoy the experience.

Enjoy this course a lot

Coming back from some summer fairway issues and I love playing this course and do so often. Wide forgiving fairways, fairly fast greens, lots of bunkers fairly positioned, some water. Staff are super, bar and grill excellent. It is my favorite go to course all summer. Rates go up for winter in a month or so. Fairly chllenging despite the wide fairways. Only negative is that the bunkers have stones in them. I wish they would sift the sand and make the traps more fair but try to overlook that one negative as I love playing the course so much.

Good Sun City West course

Nice layout with several interesting holes. Tees and greens in good to above average shape, sand traps are gravel and fairways were showing a little of the summer heat stress. No one on course as my twosome played in 3 hours. Water and ice available at the start, the turn and two other places on the course. Would recommend playing if one gets a hot deal but probably only during the summer as the club is usually filled with its members during prime season
