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.

Pretty bad

Really looking forward to playing this course today but unfortunately it’s in sad shapy and the greens were terrible. Glad I played cause we were looking to move to a club but here u only have the one course to play. Sorry I couldn’t be more positive but I play a lot of courses and not going here again till I see some good reviews.

Nice Course

Starter was really nice and helpful. Let us out early and even waiting we were done in 3 hours. Greens seemed to be changing over grass and were a little bumpy but held shots well. Overall layout is nice. Plenty of room to be off line a little. Some interesting par 3s. Will definitely be back.

Need to Address the sand traps

As I stated the sand traps need to be addressed, very rocky and very little sand. Play this course at lease 4-5 times per year, this was the worse condition. I am sure it had a lot to do with extreme heat. I selected no due to the fact that can find much better conditions at other courses for a lessor price. Normally 35 is great price for the course but not in this condition.

Very good condition. Great value

Hot, hot, but water and ice was available on front and back sides. Tees, greens and most fairways were in very good condition. Only a couple fairways on back side were sparse for grass in limited areas.

Fairways in rough dhape

Good course overall
Greens in great shape just too many bare or rough patches in the middle of the fairway. For the cost i I should not be playing from that bad of a lie in the middle of the fairway.
Jack the starter was great.

Corte Bella

The layout was typical for a desert course. The grass was a little thin in the fairways. The staff was very friendly.

It's hot but course condition was sad

Normally I would recommend this course. I would not suggest it be played when temps exceed 90 because it was dried out. 80% of fairways were brown and crunchy with obvious thatch marks. Bunkers very hard too.
Booked ahead and paid $40 each which is way too high for what you get.

Enjoyable but difficult

Tough course with lots of challenging holes and more bunkers than grass it seems. Lots of desert intrusion from time to time which makes one think about the shot and the risk reward it brings. Very difficult greens, my weakest area of play. I do think that if I played the course a half dozen times I could shoot a mid 80's round but I am not sure I would pay the usual higher fees in order to do that. I really liked the fact that they had ice and water machines at each toilet facility on the course, I wish other higher end courses did that as well, very nice.
