Corte Bella Golf Club

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.

The layout and flow of this course is delighful. We played on th e last day before overseeding, so the course had been prepped, but in a way that did not disrupt play. Fairways are generous, but not too easy and the greens provide a challenge commensurate with the degree of difficulty of the hole. Tough hole, easier green,,,easier hoel, tougher green. Staff is very helpful and friendly, the range is above average and the speed of the putting green matches the speed found on the course. As with all the bunkers in Phoenix, these could use some help, but they are average for the city. I would wholeheartedly recommend this course...but SHHHH! keep that to yourself so play stays under 4 hours.

Staff was great. Rough was long and there were signs of aeration on the greens but they rolled well. Generous off the tee. Approach shots require some skill as do the greens. I would definitely play their again.

Excellent course for Intermediate and better handicaps. Have never played a course with so many traps and huge traps at that. That being said traps were well placed, maintained and the course was in super shape. This course is a nice alternative to what you're used to playing in Sun City. Find an internet special and treat yourself to some great golf.

Course in good shape with very fast and true greens which I prefer. Very busy on date of play, pace was slow due to large number of sand bunkers and tough pin placements that day. Would recommend playing at least once. Customer service was top notch as should be expected at any country club.

The course and greens were in good shape. I would play this course again.

While the course was in over all good condition considering the amount of recent rain fall, we were disappointed in the experience playing the course. We showed up early to warm up on the range and were approached by the starter Dion. He said we could tee of any time between now and 11:10AM which was our tee time. We had warmed up sufficiently but since we were a twosome I asked how long it had been since the last group teed off and he told me that they were already on the first green. What he didn't say was that twosome ahead of us was right behind a slow playing threesome. So much to our dismay we were waiting to tee off every hole after the 1st hole. Had he actually checked like he said he did he would have waited to tell us to tee off. Instead we had to sit and wait between 5-15 minutes to tee off on every hole after the first one. The 2nd issue we had was when we walked into the club house after the first 9 to get something to eat and try to put some space between us and the groups in front of us, there was nothing like candy bars or fruit that we could have bought and while we looked around the bar staff just looked at us and said nothing. No GPS on your carts is a big draw back.

Well designed and suited for mid handicapers. Just long enough for low handicapers.

This was an example of how one poor employee can ruin an entire experience. The course ranger literally "stalked" us for 4-5 holes and we were playing ahead of pace. This employee is known for his behavior. Beware!

Tremendous value. This is a chance to play a premier course while the snowbirds are out of town. Never saw anyone in front of or behind us.

Holy sand, Batman! Great course that provided just enough of a challenge. Back 9 has more sand in play and felt more like target golf. Many risk vs. reward shots here. Staff VERY friendly and hospitable, from the young man who took our clubs in the parking lot, to the worker who served our hot dog lunches, which were plump and scrumptious. (the hot dog, not the worker). Only down side was the aerification plugs, which would have been nice to know about in advance. Other than that, the cold towels at the turn, ice for players readily available...all made for a great afternoon!

Course was in pretty poor shape. Some bare spots and watered very heavily. Even the sand traps were watered. Greens bumpy and still showing aereation marks which was not listed on Golf Now by the course. Greens would be extremely challenging if they had been in good shape. Want to go back and play for the challenge the greens present. Wide, wide, wide open t shots which I loved. Course needs to heal.

Fairways a little dry and a couple of weeks since greens were punched but be realistic beginning of August in phoenix what would you expect. Other than that course was in good shape and staff was friendly as always.

It's your typical Sun city golf course. There are some nice holes and the course was in Ok condition. Could be better. Like all Country clubs, probably losing money. It's not too difficult and you need to make your shots and putt the greens. The greens were nice.

Not too hard, not too easy. Very nice course which was well maintained. Would definitle play here again.

This is my fourth round here its challengingcourse they told me 18th fairway was a llittle roughbut iI thought it was fine. The greens were perfect!

Corte Bella is a great layout and is in excellent condition for the middle of July in the desert. This is one of those courses that rewards accurate drives with clean straight forward shots to the greens. If your are having an off day off the tee, you are hitting over traps all day to get to the greens. Too bad there is not more shade around the tee boxes!! This is a semi private course and I am very thankful to the members to let us play there occasionally!!
There were two staff concerns that bothered me. 1st, we booked a threesome @ $35.00/ea. The following day, we found a forth to join us. Went on to golfnow and the 1 remaining spot was available, this time for $30.00. Booked!! We arrived and took care of the threesome. Our forth arrived about 15 min later. Found out today(Monday), Tyson in the pro shop charged $35.00 instead of $30.00. Its only $5.00 but we were quoted 30. Bothersome!! The second issue was the marshal hiding behind trees, looking through binoculars to enforce the tucked in shirt policy. We were ok but saw him checking on the group behind us. Man up!! These issues will not keep me from coming back!! this is a good test of golf!!

Clubhouse opened at 6:00 am making warming-up for an early tee time a little "tight". Fairways were in nice shape but the greens still were healing from aerification.

Very nice, but a little slow play. Weather was hot so did not like waiting! Would love to play it again'

I played in 110 degree heat, which was to my choosing. The course provided the ice and water to keep me cool and hydrated and with the addition of the wash clothes in ice water, I never got too hot. The golf course is in great shape. All the fairways were manicured and the greens nice and soft. Great layout with water and sand enhancing the degree of difficulty on a number of holes.
