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.

Great Community Course

Chose this course for the price and the great reviews in Golfnow.com. We were not mislead. Nice course, wide open, very seldom in danger of hitting into the ajoining homes. Generous fairways, nice greens, moderate ball marks on the greens. They putted well, fairways in good shape with lots of sand on the carts to repair divots. Fair course, great for women, and the pace of play was acceptable for a Saturday. Overall I would recommend and I will play this again.

Nice Course

Great course layout with perfect yardage. Range facilities are outstanding and staff has been more than helpful both times I have played there.

Only suggestion would be to add beverage cart on weekend.

Great condition

Frost delay, so play was backed up and somewhat slow. Course condition was excellent. Greens fast, but ball rolled true. A lot of sand.

There were no marshals to keep up the pace but the greens were in perfect shape and the fairways were in decent shape but a little soft. Overall it was worth it to play the course

Course has alot of traps

Fairways were in very good condition. Greens were fairly fast, but true. Rough was not over seeded, therefore not as good as several years ago when Troon managed it. Overall a great experience.

Greens in excellent shape-be careful, very fast but true. fairways in very good shape after re-seeding. Traps good but not 100% consistent in terms of sand quality/depth.

Great Staff and Very Nice Course

Pro lent my buddy his clubs...rentals had been stolen. Got the low down on the course from members and rangers. Driving range was excellent...course was a little shaggy due to overseeding. But layout was great, speed of play excellent, and over course grooming was very good. Both of us quite liked the course.

Don't join-waste of money

Course conditions from June 1st until mid Sept. were horrible.
horrible. Bare spots on the fairways and the greens.
Complained to the management and they told me I could resign if I did not like it. I spoke to the owner Shelby Futch and he could have cared less. The manager told told me the Scottsdale Group does not have the funds to maintain the course the way it should be maintained.
don't waste your money on this membership, go to Briarwood it is a better course, well maintained and the restaurants are far superior to Corte Bella.
