Tough but fair

We enjoy Bella Vista. Conditions were very good, pace was fine for a busy public course. It is a challenging but fair layout. I have to say that the rough was too long. The rough made play harder, but also much slower because even balls that trickled into the rough were hard.
Cut that rough ! Love the course!

Took 5’hrs to play. Group ahead of us had not idea how to play ready golf and just too backed up. Clubhouse for the golfers afterwards has always been a disappointment. Huge place for weddings. Tiny afterthought for the golfers. Greens a bit slow today for
My taste but in great shape. Course had some very interesting holes and the island green.

Nice course but challenging under windy conditions

The course is excellent and the staff members were very friendly. However, one local resident in a house near one of the greens was very mean to players.

Great Course

I always enjoy playing Bella Vista. The course is in great shape, the greens roll very nicely. It's not an easy course but it is a fair course.

Nice course

Not overly long, but placing the ball in the correct spots is key. Very windy this day, but we had a good time playing it

I would return

I usually play private CC, and am a member.
Bella Vista was not on that level of course condition, but it was very good.
I cannot fault the layout or staff, they were both excellent.

Sand traps contain a lot of small rock, not conventional-though expensive - sand. I saw only one rake on the entire course, so traps were not in excellent condition.

A few tee boxes showed considerable wear, though just a few.

I still had enough fun, and the staff was pleasant, and grille food was fine. I would return and hope the greens are mowed tighter.

Great Course. Great Hospitality

We cane out the afternoon of Easter and blue skies took the place of cold rain between the tee on the first hole and the green. The one guy who was taking care of everything was friendly and knowledgeable. He warned us when the grill was closing and that a twosome might be following that we ought to let through. The course was in great shape, with fast greens and lovely vistas. We will return.

One of the best around

Bella is top notch. Always in really good shape. Couple soft areas due to elevation and water but nothing at all concerning. Lots of fun and challenging holes including an island par three. Bella is one of the nicest courses I’ve played in all of PA - iron valley, Glen Mills, broad run, Ravens, turtle, pilgrims oak, Wyncote. Bella is 100% in that rotation.

¹worthwhile, had my best round of the year a spotty 74 due to 3 double boggles.

I had always wanted to play this course, the wait was ¹worthwhile, had my best round of the year a spotty 74 due to 3 double boggles back 9. It was a cart path only today so I had to walk. Had two other golfers who I joined and they were a great company.
The staffer at the pro shop was nice who allowed me to tee off one hour early from my teetime.
I am coming back to fix those three double boggles.
