Bella Collina Golf Club
About
Nestled in the hills of Montverde, Bella Collina Golf Club overlooks not only the vineyards of Central Florida but also the sparkling blue waters of Lake Apopka and Lake Siena. The layout sprawls across more than 1,900 acres of rolling hills, incorporating lush forested valleys and sweeping dunes. Nick Faldo designed this lengthy championship course, which from its back tees stretches to over 7,500 yards. Faldo utilized the natural contours of the land to create a golf course that requires more than just skill or distance. Creative shot-making and careful strategy will be generously rewarded. The diverse terrain provides plenty of challenges as well as a unique and visually stunning backdrop. Bella Collina is known amongst locals as one of the most scenic golf courses in the area. The stunning views and beautiful setting are worth the round alone.

Great Layout
Course is a great layout and greens were in very good condition. Only complaint was the bunkers. They weren't racked in in good condition.
The course has great views.
The course was in excellent shape. The greens were very true. The course is very challenging, but enjoyable.
Best course we played this week!
From the moment we got to the clubhouse until 4 hours later , this was an excellent choice. The course was in great shape, and when we ran into some slow play, the pro shop exceeded expectations to fix any problems right away.
The course is beautiful and the clubhouse spectacular
I would definitely recommend this course. I enjoyed it and found no problems with anything. The staff was cordial. They had a huge tournament in the morning and were dealing with a lot of things.
Excellent venue
Thsi course is awesome. It's very challenging, but it feels good to have survive. the faciliies are first-rate. I would recommend this course to anyone desiring a challenge.
A very nice and challenging golf course. Must play!
One of the better courses in the Florida area with undulating fairways a lot of bunkers and very nice greens. Not your typical flat Orlando course. Must play
Great value in off season
This is a beautiful course and a great challenge. We played it on a beautiful day and it worked out about $45 which was great value. Course was in very good condition and it proved a challenge just to stay out of the bunkers! (175 I think). I failed miserably at this but it didn't deter from a great day. Would most certainly play again.
The only downsides were we had problems with sat nav for first couple of holes before we got it working and cart broke down on 17 and staff had to push us back to clubhouse.
A truly amazing Golf Course - Golfers Dream
We arrived at Bella Collina on Thursday around 11am and of course immediately impressed of the 19th century 50000 sf Tuscany Italian looking Clubhouse. Super friendly staff welcomed us and even we made a mistake in the day of booking, immediately assisted us and gave us a tee time.
You have to play this course, it's just simply amazing from the condition to the views, the layout, the challenge from every tee box (I played the Nick Faldo tees, over 7600 yards).
It's in excellent condition. From fairways to tee boxes, bunkers and true rolling Greens.
I consider this one of the top 10 Golf Courses I have played in my life and there are many many hundreds I played so far.
Go out and enjoy a fantastic day at Bella Collina, you will never regret it.
A 12 man crew keeps this Golf Course currently in top shape, bravo!!!
Best I've played this year
Very challenging course. Overall course conditions were excellent. Greens were fast and true. Bunkers are located in most landing areas regardless of tee box. This is a course you have to play more than once to properly manage shots from tee to green. The enormous club house facility reminds you of a castle in Italy, and every aspect of this project is first rate. Could you imagine such a gem in Clermont,!!! Can't wait to go back to tackle the bunkers again.
A Great Florida Course
Played Sunday 1 Sep. Course is in very good shape. Greens rolling about 10 and smooth. Any quicker and it could get treacherous. Lots of undulation on these greens. Fairways plush. Course drains super so conditions not wet at all. We play from the blue tees at 6900 yds. All we want and then some. Lots of sand but it was good sand, not to fluffy. You could get to the ball. Need to know where to hit it on a few holes especially 17 & 18. Clubhouse is phenomenal and they're are building more all around it. Play it if you can in the summer while it's fairly inexpensive at $40.00. Worth it.
Best course in the area.
A perfect course. Great carts, stocked with water and ice and includes GPS. A practice range to die for included in green fee, with Nike range balls stacked in a pyramid. Lots of sand, fast true greens. Always a pleasure to play. Bring a little tip money, the service is excellent.
Great course, regardless of price
Bella Collina is my new favorite course in Orlando. The course is one you must think your way around.
A challenging layout. Course needs some help.
Unbelievable clubhouse. Friendly staff. Challenging layout with very hilly terrain. You would never know you were in central Florida. You can tell the course is in financial duress. Needs major attention. Many of the sandtraps have very little sand. Alot of traps have been washed up. Many areas are just bare dirt in rough. Tees and fairways were good shape. Greens had just been punched but still rolled okay. Courses needs $$ put back into it and it would be great. Just disappointed to see a course like this in this kind of shape.
Go Play.....!
Not your normal FL course. A ton of elevation and you won't find a flat lie on the course, nor a flat putt for that matter. Course was in perfect condition, unfortunately, as so often happens, they're now about to aerate the greens, so you'll want to wait a couple of weeks.
Take care in selecting your tees.....the course can stretch to a whopping 7700 yds and the 3 up "member" tees still exceed 6500 yds.....with the elevation, they tend to play longer, and a lot of the length is in the par-4's, with several in the 450+ range. I wouldn't recommend anything further back for anyone not SOLIDLY in the mid-to-low single-digit range. This isn't a course to stretch it out to "get your money's worth"!
Not only is the course worth the trip, the clubhouse is stunning. A destination in itself. Have a bite at the 19th hole while you're there, and take a quick trip through the men's locker room....it's worth a look. The staff was friendly and helpful and the practice range #included in the rate# is also first rate. The course can get a little pricey $100+ later in the year, but the summer GolfNow rates can't be beat. Get out there before they go back up later on. It's worth the effort!
Hidden gem
Definitely put this on your list. I would love to see the pros play this one from the tips. This will test your golf game and course management. Great staff, especially the 19th hole
l
Spectacular Clubhouse that is almost as beautiful as Sawgrass. Course was in Excellent shape especially the greens. Hard to believe that this course with all of its rolling hills is located in Central FL. Just wish that their standard rates would be more cost friendly after the summer months.
Great Course
Fantastic design with some short par 4s that mess with your desire to go for it. Just a wonderful track to play. Don't miss this one.
Dramamine NOT included in this GolfNow.com deal
I've never been on a cruise and have no interest in doing so. When people who do these vacations ask me why, I tell them that my vacations must always include two things: A golf course and a way to leave whenever I wish. Well, my day at Bella Collina actually made me feel like I had just played 18 holes on a cruise ship. With the exception of the tee boxes and the men's locker room, I don't think I was ever on a flat surface. Some of the fairways are nearly impossible to hit because of the severe slopes, and just because you reach a green in regulation means nothing in terms of an easy two putt. I'm not even close to being a professional golfer, but making pars on this course should be as celebrated as when the pros do it on the weekend in a major championship. Also, the practice area and locker rooms are superb, only enhancing a very worthwhile (yet challenging) experience.
Very Challenging
Course is very challenging and staff is friendly and helpful.
Must Play More Than Once
I would not have recommended this course after only playing it once. Blind tee shots into sudden death is not my idea of a good time. However after 3 times I love it. I appreciating the baiting that takes place with this course. If you leave your game at home make sure that you leave your ego as well. Shots that you think you can make, you can't. Once you see the results you may need a grief counselor. That being said if you take what the course gives you and let your playing partners be the heros, you will have a great time.
