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.

Disappointed

Pace of play was excellent for our 6:30 tee time. Overall, the course conditions were good, HOWEVER, the greens were in terrible condition. I understand the need to punch and sand, but is it too much to ask they note this on Golf Now? We drove over an hour to play these unplayable greens. Really, really disappointed. Also, no bev cart...also understandable for such an early morning tee time, but also no one in the bar either for Bloody Marys at the turn. The staff was so thin, there wasn't even a guy to receive carts, clean clubs, etc...at the end. I would play this again if I lived in the neighborhood but won't make the drive again.

No Aerification alert!!

Went to the course thinking I would have a wonderful round of golf on Father's Day. I've played this course many times and love it because the greens are fast and true. I'm giving this course a poor review because there was no Aerification notice. Not only were the greens recently done the sand top dressing was excessive and basically un-puttable. I would have gone somewhere else if I would have known this. A waste of money and time.

Good layout

The greens were just aerated so they were less than true. However, the ball rolled well. The greens were very receptive to approach shots. When I have played here previously, the greens were very good. The remainder of the course was in good shape generally; some browned out areas. The layout is very good with a mix of difficult and easy holes. The course has been sculpted from flat desert into a rolling terrain.

The course was in great shape

The staff was awesome, from the pro shop to the grill. The only negative was the shape of the geens, they were being air rated. I was not aware at the time of booking.

Forgiving course

if you can stay out of bunkers. Somewhat challenging although sanded greens were a negative. No cart girls so I had to adjust playing without beers. Overall good experience as played in 4 and half hours. Would go back.

Great Experience

The course and staff were excellent. My only real complaint is that they had punched the greens about a week ago and there was still sand on them. But will definitely go back when the greens are rolling true. Great price.

Great traditional course

I played Corte Bella for the first time on a Saturday morning. I got paired up with two great guys who played at a great pace.
The practice area was in good shape with enough grass to hit off. Range balls are included in the round and are in good shape.
The course was in really good shape for the time of year. Tee boxes were level. The fairways has some bare/dry spots but it didn't affect play.
The greens are what stood out on the course. They were very contoured and if your ball wasn't on the correct level, saving par was a difficult task. The greens were a consistent speed throughout the day.
Overall the course was enjoyable and very playable. None of the holes really beat you up with enough open spaces to find your off line ball. Customer service was top notch except for the beverage service. I did not see a beverage cart once during the day. On a positive note, water stations were abundant on the course with two ice machine dispensers on the course. It was a nice touch especially during the summer. I will definitely be back in the summer to take advantage of the great rates.

Nice course

This is a private course and they enforce the dress code, tucked in shirts no big deal. The course itself was in really good condition, fairways and greens were fast. One of the nice things I liked most about this course was the water they have out. Every 3-4 holes they have an ice machine and water, which made playing in 100+ degrees really nice. Can’t wait to come back to this place again.

Fast play!

A little overpriced for the area, but 3.5hrs for a round on a Saturday made it worth the extra cost.

trickey greens

Nice course not overly long from the one up tees where we played from on a super windy day,what defends this course is the size and speed of the greens easily rolling at 11,with that said don't be on the high side of the hole. Overall conditions were good,tee boxes are great super level and lush. Have fun!

GREAT TIME

Very windy witch made the greens very fast and the course tougher. The only thing is I made the tee time off of golf now for 12:54. Checked in at 12:00, driving range was full. At 12:30 the starter announced a shoot gun start. We thought it was a tournament. As we were the only ones on the driving range the starter came over to tell us we need to go to the 10th tee box and start our round. The 12:54 time meant nothing everyone started at 12:30. Would of been nice to know. Knowing this now I will go back.

Hope you're a good green reader. These greens have some severe slopes.

Course was in good shape and had no traffic. Played as a twosome in 3 hours. Wide fairways but many bunkers so it plays quite narrow. I had three "fried egg" lays in green side bunkers but it was my fault for hitting it there. Some greens have multiple tiers, making putting tough if you're not on the right level. Greens were fast so a misread could miss by 6 feet or more. I've heard that his club will be returning to private status soon so play it now while you can.

Well groomed course

I have played a lot of different course's across the US and would rate this course about 7 on a scale of 1-10. I like that there were holes that you had to play a draw and some you had to play a fade, that keeps a course interesting in my book.
