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.

A great course to play

This is a great value for the money. Every aspect of our round was first class, from the staff to the course itself. Especially appreciated the wide fairways throughout so you were not afraid of hitting a ball into someone's backyard.
Course is challenging, one has to think about every shot.
Greens were some of the best we've seen.
Look forward to a return visit in the not-too-distant future.

Very nice course to play and great for the ladies.

Corte Bella is always on our list of nice places to play. It is well maintained, pleasant and helpful staff, and enjoyable to play.
Not much trouble to get into and the course is right in front of you, no trick or blind holes.
From the regular tees, the ladies then get a 600 yard advantage for the 18 holes from the red tees.

Great course with great features

We played this course on Oct 2nd (they are over seeding week of Oct 7th) and it was in very nice condition. Fairways are wide enough but you can still get in trouble (sand traps etc.)

It was the first time we have played this course and we plan on going back after the over seeding. It is challenging for all skill levels with tee boxes for the low handicap to the high handicap.

The course is a nice layout and requires to keep the ball in play, never seen so many bunkers and glad to not have experienced them.

I played this course several times during its infant years and now surprised as to how it developed and matured but I can only rate it as average for the summer price. Overall the staff treats guests as such and evident in their level of service however I will note the starter was super welcoming!

Modern day resort course

In summer in Arizona, round prices usually plummet. High price courses can be played at city course rates and Corte Bella is a great resort course. It was raining this day, but the course played quite well. The bunkers were pretty wet and I assume that they would be in great condition when dry.

Great pace of play and worth every dollar.

Sandy-sandy...great condition this time of year

This was a beautiful course and a smoking deal using "Hot Deals" would recommend to everyone! Staff was less than to be desired, atmosphere was that of a Country Club and it was evident we weren't members, sadly we were treated poorly, unfortunate as this was a great course and very well maintained, love to go back and hopefully treated a little nicer.

This is a good course for the more advanced player. For an old timer like me it is too long and too much sand.

I would play this course again for the bargain price I recieved from Golf Now. I think it is a great course if you enjoy more of a challenge.

Poor Course Conditions

This course is a wreck! For a semi-private club, you would expect far better. There are plenty of public courses that are in better shape than this place. The fairways were virtually non-existent. No grass.....we had to set our own rule that you could roll your ball in the fairway just to find the nearest grass. Greens rolled well and have been maintained. This place is off my list for a long, long time.

I want to retire here

Starter picked me up at the parking lot and unloaded my clubs from my car. At the end of the round, the Starter rode the back of the cart and let us drive to our cars for loading. Now that's a great customer service.

I love that they provide Styrofoam cups and ice and allow you to load up coolers with ice. They have ice machines halfway through front and back nine. The bathrooms are scented clean. Cold water towels are scented as well. I feel like I'm at a golf spa.

The practice balls are included and are at the golf range inside miniature Titleist golf bags at each tee box. Unfortunately, there's no snack cart.

The fairways were lush in May, but drying out in late June. The greens are challenging with lots of slopes. No too many flat greens here. If there were more large trees for shade near the tee boxes, then this would be the perfect neighborhood AZ golf course.
