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.

Fun to play

Very pleasant place to play for all skill levels. Good condition and enough challenge for good golfers while not too hard for the less skilled. Good practice/warm-up facilities.

Good course. Fun to play.

Really a fun course to play. Puts a real premium on your short game and if slightly off your sand play. The overall course is in really great condition. The greens are fairly quick and putt very true. Ample room for tee shots.

Course in great shape; lovely clubhouse and friendly staff.

I'd recommend this course especially at the comopetitive price we paid. The clubhouse is lovely and the staff very accomodating. We've always found random pairings to be very friendly and a pleasure to play with. High on our list.

Solid Course

I played in an 8am shotgun event. It was cool and windy, so that added to the challenge. The course was in great shape and is a nice lay-out; some water and lots of sand. My only complaint would be directed at the pro shop staff. They were not at all helpful in the process. Once they confirmed that my name was on their list they told me the hole that I started on, and to put my clubs on any cart and I was good to go. I had to ask around for directions to my hole and there was no system in place for enlightening me as to who my playing partners were. As a result, 2 of us in our group took separate carts; kind of a waste of resources.
I had signed up for a similar shotgun event 3 weeks prior. When I arrived at 7:15am I was told that there was a one hour frost delay. I was also told that I would have to finish my round by 12:30pm, being as there was another event that afternoon. The pro shop official was dismissive and unconcerned when I noted that I would not be able to play 18 holes in 3.5 hours. As a result I called GolfNow.com and was refunded my money; I didn't play that day.

Course is awesome. Staff who run it think they are above all others. It is Sun City so watch out for snooty old people

We played in the morning 8:00 am shotgun start. They want all players off the course before 12:30 which is awesome if you in fact start at 8:00. The ranger didn't send the correct players to the tess they were assigned which delayed our start by 30 minutes. Throughout the round the grumpy old timer keep following our group and mentioned that this is not the "Muni course we types shoudl be playing". At 12:20 he came to the 18th and yelled to get off the course. We got into it and then was sent to the pro shop. Pro shop guy was cool and said that they deal with it all the time. Not sure if this guy had a bad day or not but needless to say we will not be going back to this track becasue of the service. Try Coyotes Lakes which is less than two miles away and is a fun and cheap track. Corte Belle needs to learn that we have tons of golf options and they are not anything special.

Course is visually attractive

Undulating fairways and large greens make the course visually interesting and a bit intimidating for a golfer visiting for the first time. However, once play commences, the fairways and greens are large enough that one becomes immersed in the game. Overall experience was good and would recommend the course to friends.

Fun for all levels play forward tees if not a long hitter

Long par 4's but large lovely green complexes so can get on most with hybrid or fairway wood. Some forced carry, but most green entries have bailout areas leaving long approach chip or putt, so fair for all. Marshall somewhat harassing, but busy day and concerned about course. Rest of staff helpful and cordial

Surly course marshal

The course is very beautiful and in good condition. On the day we played the course was not very busy and no groups were in the tee time ahead of us. After 4 holes the marshal told us there were two open holes in frront of us and we needed to hurry up. We fiinshed the front in 2 hours and 8 minutes and our total time was 4:15. but the marshal felt we were too slow. it spoiled our day.

many holes. Greens were fast but true. Play was fast at 4 hours.

Course has great greens.

The play was slow but worth the wait. The ranger was great in helping us with moving us in front of many foursomes allowing us to finish before dark. Greens rolled true and the course was in great shape.

Delayed, overpriced, and rude towards non-members.

We were delayed over 45 minutes before our round, and treated like second class citizens because our group needed three carts. Ranger came around four to five times and kept reminding us of their rules, that they are a semi-private club, and that we were playing in between two groups of members. The ranger's fifth trip over to chat included reminding us again about the same rule of only two carts on the fairway at a time. This time however, only one cart had even been on the fairway. It was ridiculous! I finally told the ranger that we felt like he is picking on us and wiithout just cause. The only thing we did wrong was choose to play here. I think this place is really upset about having to be semi-private. Played TPC championship today and the course and staff were fabulous!
