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.

Stalked by the Ranger

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!

Great Course

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!

Not impressed

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.

Nice greens! Course was in OK shape.

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.

Great course, an honor to play there, some staff concerns

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!!

Very open golf course

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.

Corte Bella great place to play

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.

Diamond in the Desert

I was blown away by the condition of this course. There was 3 spots on the whole course that were not perfect grass. All 3 of them were marked as ground under repair. Most courses are not even this good in the winter. at $25 after 10 am, this is a steal to play. I would have been very happy at 2 times the price with those conditions. The greens rolled true and I was shocked at how well they held on a 109deg afternoon.

The staff was amazing and so accommodating. They treat everyone like they are a member. I wanted a sandwich at the turn. They did not have any pre-made, so they brought it out to me once it was done. Amazing service. I am playing this course again on Thursday and will play a few more times this summer.

Corta Bell

Great course, In good condition. Staff was friendly. Course did offer some long holes from the Regular tees. Had to hit quality shots to make it to the green in regulation. Greens were smooth. If you hit your line no surprising bumps. Good overall experience.

But overall enjoyed the course.
