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.

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.

Lush course, great value

The tee boxes, fairways and greens were in pristine condition. Probably the best conditions in the NW valley. Staff was friendly. Very nice semi-private course experience.

Challenging but enjoyable

Corte Bella is always fun to visit! It's a "classy" club with very nice amenities. The course is very fair, but presents some fun challenges on several holes. I'll be back soon!

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!
