Corte Bella Golf Club
About
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 Course
I will definitely play this course again. The views were great and the course is beautiful
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.
A Gem
Played back tees, nice wide fairways receptive greens that putt true. It was a very pleasant outing.
Great oppurtinity
Being able to play Corta Bella Country Club was great! Would do it again if I had the chance
Fun golf course
The staff was very courteous, friendly and helpful. The course played firm and fast with good speed on the greens.
Very Nice Course
I played Corte Bella for a practice round for an upcoming tournament and really enjoyed it. It was is great condition. I will definitely play it again.
Putts
the greens are a great challenge but they roll perfectly
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.
challenging my game
The course is laid out to be both difficult and forgiving. the fairways and greens weren't in as good of condition as I would expect a course with the rates for tee times that this course has. the greens had true roll but there was very little green on them and in the fairways. the bunkers were in good shape and well maintained and had the typical small stones found in many desert courses in the area.
Worth the drive
Corte Bella's layout is the standard residential/golf development style (houses down both sides of every fairway) but still offers a challenge worth playing. The fairways are generous (no concern of hitting homes, unless grossly offline) but have bunkers and other trouble in play to make you select specific targets for most tee shots. The greens were in great shape and have enough contour to make them "fun".
Nice course, fun round
Lots of bunkers with very little sand on top of mostly dirt. Greens are super fast and hard to hold, easy to miss a eight foot putt by 3-4 feet, made for interesting round and highest score of the year. Got easier as the day progressed. Will be back to try again!
Good course fun to play
This was my first time playing the course and I happened to be playing the same day they were having the club championship. This meant some very challenging pin locations on some very fast greens. Overall the staff was terrific and very helpful. Would have been great to have a beverage cart out on the course but had a great time playing. Would definitely recommend the course.
Great condition.
Course was in fantastic shape with some pretty challenging pin locations as they had the men's club championship that morning. Pace was a little slow on the front, no marshals on the course, almost 2.5 hour front. Cleared up on the back and whipped around the course. Always a good experience here with a challenging course.
Well conditioned course with consistent greens
The greens were in excellent condition, fast, consistent and true. Tee boxes and fairways are lush and well groomed. Staff is friendly and helpful. Enjoyed our round and would love to return to this course.
A delight to play
A beautiful course with lots of sand. Enjoyed being able to play a hybrid of tees for the first time through on this course. The course is located in a gated community and you will need to come in through the south entrance. Definitely on my list to come back.
Great scoring opportunity
If you can hit the ball straight and hit the right level on the greens, you have a chance to play really well. The greens are very undulating - you need to be on the correct level. The greens are fast and true with many subtle breaks and while the breaks look obvious, they often break less than expected.
Its a great day out - clubhouse worth a visit after your round.
What a treat
I use Golfnow to find courses for my wife and I to play together without spending a ton of money. Quite often, courses are over rated by people who either don't know a good golf course when they see one, or have never played a high quality golf course. Nevertheless, we have played courses that cost more money, but have not been nearly as pleasant to play. Corta Bella was an unbelievable find and a pleasuret to play. The practice facility was very nice, the staff very friendly, and the course very playable. The area had a lot of rain the night before and we were restricted to cart path only, but that is to be expected. The fairways were generous and the greens had ample undulations which made for some very interesting putts. I was very pleasantly surprised by the value that we got at Corta Bella. $ 30 for an 8am shotgon. My son is coming out next week and I will try to get back to play this course again. Oh...and it was very female friendly, which my wife enjoyed. Not a lot of forced carries for her.
Interesting greens, nice bunkering...
I enjoyed the course and found the greens to be a fair challenge. It is too short to play from the white tees if you are a solid to moderate HC, but I was paired with someone more comfortable from that distance. I probably used driver 5 times from the white tees during the round. No cart girls, very limited water access and Tuesday is Ladies Day, so it is chaos after 11 AM. Would like to try it again from the tips.
