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.

So close but no cigar

Like everywhere else this summer no one wants to cut the greens to a reasonable speed. These greens are huge and having the speed at 6/7 is not acceptable.
Combine that with very shaggy tee boxes and pins positions that do not match any of the locations on the scorecard and you have a disappointing round.

Course condition.

Overall the course was in very good condition. My only complaint is that the Tee Boxes were not cut low enough, several of the tees had 2 inch thick grass covering them.

Friendly course and layout.

Generous plush fairways. Greens have some nice slopes and they rolled nice today. Only disappointment were the bunkers. Mostly hard sand doesn't allow for splash shots.
If you stay out of the bunkers, you'll enjoy this course.

Great course

Enjoyed course - was in great condition. Only thing was most greens were saturated with sand and seed. Wish I had known this before booking tee time. But still enjoyed course.

Maintenance has slipped since we previously played Corte Bella. The fairways and especially the bunkers need attention.

I understand this course has been sold, so CB doesn’t really care what it looks like, but, for GNow to charge that much to play was disgraceful. I use to belong to CB but it has really gone downhill, big time. From a year ago.

Horrible conditions

This used to be the best course around here in sun city, but I played here after a few months and I have never seen the course in this horrible condition, I played here last summer and it was in amazing condition but not this summer, I don’t know what they did. The greens are inconsistent now, the fairways, tee boxes everything is horrible now, ABSOLUTELY NOT WORTH THE PRICE THEY ARE CHARGING.

Course is in good Condition

The fairways and greens are in good condition. The bunkers are little light on sand. Great for the fairway bunkers, but not so good in a greenside bunker. The greens roll pretty good. A little slower than I prefer, but not bad...

The staff is very friendly and refreshment prices are good.
