A Monmouth County country club that still feels like a neighborhood club — not a resort campus — is what Bella Vista was built to be. Bella Vista Country Club sits at 100 School Road East, Marlboro, NJ 07746. The Beshara family has owned and operated it since 1995. The live membership copy calls the property a hidden gem of Monmouth County: challenging and enjoyable for every caliber of men and women golfers, unpretentious, and socially welcoming.
This page is about the place. Golf, dining, and events are why people join a county club; the 2026 named plans are how they join. Current options and fees are on membership. Full and Weekday figures currently conflict on that page, so confirm every number with the club at 732-308-4600. Ask for Anthony Beshara for a tour and a trial tee time.
A family-run club in Marlboro, not a distant resort
Monmouth County has public golf, catering halls, and restaurants. A country club bundles those into a private membership with a course, a practice range, a clubhouse, and a calendar. Bella Vista’s version of that bundle is compact and local. Founded in 1995, still in the Beshara family, still at the same Marlboro address printed in the site header and footer.
The club is private. Membership is the path to regular golf and clubhouse use. Catering — weddings, showers, communions, engagement parties, receptions, cocktail parties — is published as open to non-members, which is how many county families first walk the rooms. Golf outings have their own outing package page. Neither of those replaces joining if you want Tuesday tee times and a locker.
Hours live on the contact page. The club is closed Mondays. Proper golf attire is mandatory on the course. Members and guests check in with the pro shop to use the range and putting green.
The course Monmouth golfers actually play here
The course tour is the source for the published layout: an 18-hole private course, Par 70, 5,923 yards. Use that figure. Two PGA professionals work in the pro shop. Lessons are listed for men, women, and young adults. Lockers, bag storage, and shoe cleaning are part of the golf stack. The range and putting green are for warm-up, not a public bucket shop — details are on driving range NJ.
USGA Rules govern except where modified by BVCC local rules. The club does not publish a usable rating/slope figure on the course-tour scorecard, and this page will not invent one. Play a trial round and judge the golf yourself.
What you will not find in the on-page amenity lists: tennis, a pool, pickleball, a fitness center, or a golf simulator. Those are common “country club” extras at other properties. They are not Bella Vista’s published facilities. Golf, practice, dining, events, lockers, and instruction are.
The clubhouse, dining, and rooms that make it a country club
The homepage describes a roughly 22,000-square-foot clubhouse with elegant fine dining, a banquet room, a full-service casual grill, and private dining rooms. Indoor and outdoor dining, an outdoor café and gazebo, and a restaurant with a liquor license are part of that picture. Dining is a thin landing that points to lunch and dinner menus; make a dining reservation when you tour so the rooms are not theoretical.
Events are scaled for a county club, not a convention center:
- Event pavilion up to 300 guests, with views of the course
- Remodeled Excelsior Room up to 250 guests
- Chef’s Table in the Crystal Room, 8–24 guests, personal waiter, assistant, and private chef; reservations required seven days in advance
The social agenda on the membership page includes men’s and women’s tournaments, holiday events, social get-togethers, bocce leagues, a men’s doubles league, and Fore Women Only / Sipp & Swing. That calendar is why a Monmouth County country club is more than a golf course with a snack bar. See also events and country club vs golf club.

Do not treat marketing labels on golf membership tiers as extra official SKUs. The inventory is the membership page. This recap will not print dollars; Full/Weekday figures conflict there. Confirm with the club.
Join path: read the options, call Anthony Beshara at 732-308-4600 for a tour and trial tee time, then apply at membership application. The live pages do not require a member sponsor. More detail is on how to join a country club.
