Corte Bella consistently earns praise for its wide, generous fairways and challenging layout with sloped greens and varied pin placements. Exceptionally friendly staff and smooth pace of play make every round a welcoming experience.

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.

Beautiful layout

Usually play in the summer when prices are low. Course conditions are typical for summer, fairways were pretty good but greens a little bumpy. Staff very nice, worth the money. We'll go back.

Solid!

CB is just an all-around quality golf course. Always in good condition, interesting holes, challenging but not punitive and very reasonably priced. On-course ice machines are a nice touch.

Nice for what it is

Corte Bella is in an upper middle class gated senior development. The conditions were good, the layout is good. The greens were on the quick side which I like. For some reason I was expecting PRISTINE conditions but that may just have been a personal thing. I was paired with 2 gentlemen visiting a member who was in a hurry.....I did not care for his personality. He took it upon himself to "give" short putts which I hate because I cannot post a score then. If he just said that's good that was 1 thing but he knocked putts back all day long. PUTT IT OUT.

One sentence would have took care of that. Sir if you don't mind I like to putt out so when in tournaments it's not unfamiliar

Great Course and Customer Service

The course is in excellent condition which made playing very pleasurable. The most outstanding feature of the course were the staff. The weather turned very quickly with high winds and showers. The staff gave us the option of returning to finish our round the next day or wait until the storm passed. We decided to come back. The staff greeted us in such a pleasant manner I was shocked. Although the staff has no control over the weather they made the sun shine

We got a good deal on golf now. We really liked this course but do not believe it is worth the rack rate. Greens and tee boxes were great.

Nice course, good shape, not overly difficult, fun to play.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. Excellent practice facilities! We teed of on time and even though the course was full we finished in 4:15. Course was in good shape, greens fast and consistent. Fairways are not too tight. Nice variety of holes.

First Time I have been completely dissapointed with Corta Bella

I had an 8:30 a.m. tee time today for a foursome. When I got to the course 45 minutes early (I always like to warm up and hit some balls) the desk said our tee time had changed to an 8:00 a.m. shotgun start. My foursome was not notified and so we all got off to a rushed start. We were behind a very slow twosome and in front of a very fast twosome. There were no rangers out watching the pace of play and then they had a charity event starting at 12:00. The entire course and all activities were very undermanaged and understaffed. When we gone done with our awful experience we went in to get something to eat, they had 2 people working and the place was packed. We left after sitting for 20 minutes and no one asking us if we wanted anything. If I were to rate my experience today I would give Corta Bella a 1 out of 10 especially after paying close to 75.00 for the experience.

Slowed by members

Like the course, layout is fair. Played on a Saturday and waited on every shot behind a foursome of club members. They seemed oblivious to the presence of anyone but themselves, even taking extra putts after holing out.

Get ready for some sand.

The course was very enjoyable to play. The par threes were some of the best i have played down here in the Valley. Some were lengthy and surrounded by water or large sand bunkers. The greens were true for putting. I look forward to playing this challenging course again.
