This course was exactly what I expected for an eighteen hole executive golf course, which is as old as Bellair and the surrounding neighborhood is. If I based my review on the pro shop experience this place would be a one star.
When I first got to this course and went into the pro shop I was second in line to check in. I looked around and their merchandise selection was poor to say the least. The whole pro shop and restaurant area looked like it needed a remodel.
After the gentlemen in front of me checked in, I walked up to the front counter and the pro shop attendant looked at me and walked away. He went outside and disappeared for about five minutes before returning to find me still standing there waiting to check in and pay. The pro shop attendant then looked at me like I was bothering him by being there.
After finally getting checked in, I was sent out to play. The course wasn't in the best shape, the tee boxes, fairways, and greens weren't bad. Any areas outside of those looked terrible. There was little to no living grass in the rough and the sand traps were hard as a rock.
I don't consider myself a golf snob by any means, so don't take this review as being nit picky. Play was decently paced even though the course was fairly busy. Even though this is an eighteen hole course don't be fooled the course is short with mostly par three holes ranging from 100 yards to 170 yards. There were four par fours but they were all under 300 yards and driveable.
The greens fees were $25 for a 7:30AM tee time, which isn't bad. I didn't buy any food, drink or merchandise so I can't tell you the pricing on that stuff. I would imagine it would be similar to Glen Lakes or Desert Mirage because this course is basically an eighteen hole version of those courses.
In all this course is pretty average. It's probably affordable to play in the winter when other courses are charging an arm and a leg, but in the summer take your business else where. Championship courses that are well maintained year round are much better then Bellair in the summer.
I would be lying if I said that I wouldn't be back because in reality the course isn't bad and it's not a long drive from where I live.
