This is a rather late review, I played Bellevue both days last weekend (7/16/22 and 7/17/22) in a couple of different Mens Club events. Course is in pretty good shape, with the weather finally getting dry and warm the course is playing firm. Greens run at a medium pace, and are a tad bumpy. They hold shots pretty well. Fairways and rough are decent, bunkers very nice and tee boxes can leave a little to be desired. I played pretty early both days so pace was fine, and customer service is always good here.

Played in Men's club event yesterday morning (5/21/22) at Bellevue and had a pretty good time. Greens could be better, they're a bit slower than I'd like, and a lot bumpier but still in decent enough shape considering its been just a few weeks since they were punched. Fairways are already getting a little firm, offering some decent roll out on your drives in most places, with decent lies as well. A few of the landing areas on the short par fours have a few too many divots, but I was lucky enough to miss them all. Rough is good, not too much longer than the fairways and not very penalizing. Tee boxes aren't very good unfortunately, several aren't very flat, and the par threes and short fours have a lot of unfilled divots. Bunkers are probably the best conditioned aspect of the course, I was in 2 greenside bunkers that had a nice layer of soft sand to splash out of. Pace of play was good, our walking group of 3 teed off right on time just before 8 and got around in just under 4 hours, waiting a tiny bit here and there on the 4 in front of us. Service in the shop was excellent. All in all a good, solid muni golf experience.

Played in the first Mens club event of the year at Bellevue yesterday, and found the course in pretty good shape, especially considering the amount of snow we had last weekend. Greens were a bit bumpy, but rolling at a decent enough pace, and were consistent throughout the course. Fairways and rough could be a bit mushy in the low spots, but reasonable for the most part. Tee boxes not so great, but the one greenside bunker I found was very nice. We teed off right on time at 8:24am, and finished in about 4 hours, with our 3 some occasionally waiting on the 4 in front of us. For February in the northwest, the experience was pretty good.

Played this morning in a Men's club event a Bellevue, and had a pretty good time. Conditions are pretty good for this place right now, the greens have recovered from the punch pretty well. They were a little bit slow, and while not completely smooth they did roll ok. They're always pretty soft here, so shots hold well. Fairways were ok, a few of my lies were a little thin but most were good. Rough isn't too long, and not very penalizing. I didn't find any bunkers, but normally they are very good here. Tee boxes can get very sketchy, lots of them are surrounded by trees so they just don't get enough light. Many are quite chewed up, and many aren't very flat. Pace of play was very good, our 4 walked in a tad under four hours as the second group out. The group behind us never caught up, and the two in front of us disappeared rather quickly. I've had my issues with this place in the past, but being in their club this year has been quite nice. The place is super close to home, and always packed so being in the club gets me out here about once a month, and that feels just about right.

Back home and out for a round on the course around the corner from the house. Teed off about 6:15, and our foursome walked it in about 3:30, with no one in front of us. The three behind us pushed a little bit, but never enough to where it seemed like letting them through was warranted. Every time they waited for a shot, they would end up falling back and not waiting for the next couple. Conditions were pretty decent, greens weren't slow or fast, medium speed with a few bumps, and holding shots very well. Fairways and rough were also better than expected, the only really bad lie I had was when I found an old divot. I avoided all of the bunkers, but they looked pretty good, and in times past they've been in pretty good shape. Tee boxes were probably the worst part of the course, many aren't very level and many also have significant divot damage. It was $39 to walk it, and I would say it was worth that, although probably only if you're already in the neighborhood.

Played Bellevue yesterday morning (8/19/17, 7:00 am tee time) with a friend, and found the place to be pretty reasonable. Greens had a few bumps, but not nearly as many as I expected. They were pretty soft, and accepted most any shot. Pace was medium, not too fast and not super slow either. Elsewhere the course is pretty hit and miss, fairways and rough were ok, some tee boxes horrible with others decent. I found 1 greenside bunker, and it had good, heavy sand. Sadly, even though there were 2 rakes right next to it there was an awful lot of footprints. Pace of play was shockingly good, my friend and I walked it with another 2 in a cart and got around in about 3:45. We played here since I didn't have a lot of time, and it fit the bill. I wouldn't go out of your way for it, but since its right around the corner from where I live, it was worth it.

Played Bellevue this morning, teeing off right on time at 6:15 walking with 2 others. Conditions here are pretty bad right now, the greens have lots of dead spots, and bounce all over the place. Fairways, rough, and tee boxes are a little bit better, but not by a lot. I found 2 greenside bunkers, and they were reasonable. I find myself playing here often as it is close to home, and today I just didn't have the time to travel somewhere. At the same time, $40 to walk it is too much for the current state of the place. I think I'll have to stay away for the rest of the year, and hope it improves some next season.

Played Bellevue on Labor Day, teeing off just before 7:00 and getting around in just about 4 hours. Pace felt a little slower than that, as our group waited on a lot of shots during the front nine. While waiting on the 8th tee, I mentioned to a passing marshal how slow it felt, and he spoke to the four in front of us, and the picked up the pace for the rest of the day.

Conditions were reasonable, greens were probably the best part of the course. They weren't very quick, but the were relatively true, and held most any shot. Rough was wet and lush, but fairways were quite hit and miss. Some insanely bare spots out there, and lots of places that should be marked as GUR. Tee boxes were the same, some get absolutely no sun, so they'll always be bad. Par 3's aren't very long, to those boxes are quite wrecked as well. I found one greenside bunker, and it had very nice soft sand.

I wouldn't go too far out of your way to play here, but being as its super close to home, and pretty cheap, (I think i paid $38 to walk) it was a decent way to spend the morning.

Played Bellevue on Saturday morning (5/10/14) and paid the rack rate of 41.00 at 6:30 am. Conditions were decent enough, although it felt as though the course's greens were a little bit slower than the practice green, which led me to needing a few holes to get used to. Fairways and rough were fine, not great but not as bad as they've been here in the past. Didn't find a bunker, so I can't say how they were, although usually they're pretty good here. Tee boxes are always pretty bad, they're quite small, many in shade, so they tend to get really torn up. This is especially true on the par 3's and short 4's. Pace of play was decent enough at 4:10, although you'd think at 6:30 am it would be a little quicker. Our group of 4 ended up waiting a few times on the 2 groups of 3 in front of us, which felt rather annoying. Overall, it was worth it as I live right around the corner from the place.
