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.

Nice layout & in fine shape to boot.

Tyson is very cordial in the Pro shop & Drew out side does keep busy. Late afternoon round solo, undulation is plentiful throughout the course that leaves all sorts of lies. Pin placement on several greens were downright diabolical with speed to roll out on slopes down hill ! Receptive to shots that leave legitimate ball marks but still firm. Been here a couple of times and certainly enjoy the experience.

One of my favorite North West Valley public courses

You can count on great course conditions and a very friendly staff at Corte Bella. Play was a bit slow, but winter golf in AZ can be like that unfortunately. Looking forward the next chance to come play.

Great staff and course experience!

Ran into an inevitable frost delay with an early tee time. The outside attendants were incredibly helpful and organized. They managed the delay well and even took down phone numbers to text golfers when play could resume. Despite the delay, pace of play was great with little to no waiting throughout the course. Course conditions were awesome. Hard to find value for Arizona golf in December — Corte Bella was far and away the best combination of a well-maintained, fun course at a reasonable price. Will return for sure!

Corte Bella review

The course was in great shape. The pro shop staff was friendly. Pace of play was very good even though the course was full. Had a very nice young man clean our clubs and carry the bags to the car afterwards. Have definitely paid more and gotten less at other clubs. Very good experience!

A good solid well-manicured course

Weather was perfect for our twosome as we found a good price for Corte Bella. Tee time was 1:00 PM. We might have been able to finish the round if we had started a smidge later, but not much. However, that is simply because the day was overcast and getting dark at 5:00 - 5:30. We occasionally waited for the group in front of us on the front nine, but it was clear sailing on the back nine. Course was in very good shape. Fairways were in excellent condition. Greens were well manicured, but a bit on the slow side. The course layout is traditional with greens well protected from slightly off-target shots. Sand was in good shape, not caliche traps that is often found in the valley. All-in-all a very good course.

Nice course

Cartpath only because of overseeding. Greens were painfully slow but give it a couple weeks. Fairway a little 5ick due to overseeding. I’ve played this course before when conditions were fantastic.

Great Course

The only negative was no beverage cart. As far as the course, The fairway bunkers were dirt. I believe they must have plans to get some sane in them. Great layout and the course will be great in about 3 weeks after the oversees. Fantastic staff all around.
