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.

Excellent Course

The greens were listed at 10 and were very well maintained. Over seed was still growing in but they did allow carts on the fairways. Fairways are very wide and not a lot of trouble but still the course is of moderate difficulty. Play the right tees. I played the whites at 6400 but had several fairway woods to the green with a 12 hdcp. This is a very nice course that I always play at least 2-3 times a year.

Loved this course.

This is a beautiful course. So plush and well maintained. The holes are challenging with all the traps but still manageable for a novice player. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Will definitely return.

The course has good greens and is fun to play.

Nice course. Greens are normally very nice. They just sprayed the fairways so they will be dead in 48 hrs. Usually we play there 3-4 Times a year.

Beautiful course.

This is a beautiful course. I am playing in August in Arizona so I expected some thin conditions. Most courses are suffering from some summer burn out. Not here. This place was nice and green and very well kept. Tee boxes were neat. The fairways were green and not all thin and burnt out. The greens had just recently been sanded and fertilized. That was the only thing that wasn't perfect. However, it did not impact play.

There are a few holes with water hazards. One hole had an Island type green. That was fun. There were LOTS of sand traps. You will need to control your shot and your distances to avoid them.

I played as a single. There was no one else to pair up with. The starter politely asked me to wait for a women's league to pass before starting out. He said after that I would nearly have the run of the course. I waited of course and I pretty much had the place to myself. Very relaxing going at my own pace. I think I played in 2 hours and 30 or 45 minutes. Not sure what time I started.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Even the maintenance staff was very courteous. If they were mowing or trimming, etc they would move out of the way as soon as you came up to the tee box. I NEVER had to wait once for them. Ice chest and ice was available at the cart area at no additional charge. Absolutely essential on hot days.

Corte Bella

Absolutely beautiful course! I have played the Corte Bella the last 2 Saturday's and the 1st week the greens were sandy & slow but much improved yesterday. The layout is challenging but very fair for the average golfer. This course ranks in my top 3 in the west valley.
