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.

Hidden Gem
We all have experienced the 18th hole regret which we drown on the 19th hole . You will experience no such emotion here. This Nick Faldo course delivers from the green tees to the tips.
Courses deliver delights by there beauty, their intimidation from the tees.(where is my target?) and do I have that shot in my bag?). The Club house ambiance and the course anxiety.
Course anxiety should be triggered only by the target and your ability and negligiby from the other players , the club house.
We were on this occasion focused only on the course anxiety.
It was wonderful and started with distance control of the first tee to hitting draws off the next 3 tees.
Accuracy was also a premium forcing you to focus and play your best game.
This course was not a bragging course as many of the holes gave you a look at sand traps which appeared smaller than they actually were luring you into going for the risky shot for which you paid the penallty.
The course conditions were immaculate and the greens were fast .
Being on the green was no assurance you would get a birdie or par.
.Kudos to the greens keepers and course managers.
I think the price was a wee bit much but there are of course benefits to be gained there.
All in all a great course and wonderful challenge to the serious golfer.
Great Course
This course was fun to play and a great challenge. The Greens were to Great shape and very testy the fairways had some spots needed help but they have arrested. Great pace of play .
Hi there,
Thank you for leaving us this review. We're so glad you enjoyed our course. We hope to see you again soon!
Excellent
Excellent, Immaculate, Challenging... worth every penny.
Thank you so much for your review! We hope to see you back soon.
Hello, thank you for the review! We appreciate the feedback and hope you will come play again soon.
Fun, Challenging and Immaculate
Our day started out with breakfast in the 19th hole. The food was more than reasonably priced, fresh and delicious. GUI, our server was very friendly and attentive. The staff in the pro shop were very friendly and made us feel welcomed and not just “another tee time”. The practice facilities were exceptional, I’m glad we had ample time to take advantage of them before our tee time. The course has bunkers and waste areas throughout but balanced with vast fairways and risk reward landing areas. I would recommend this spectacular Faldo design to EVERYONE! Multiple tees make this course fun for all skill levels. I can hardly wait to come back. Bella Collina is a must play when in the Orlando area.
Hello, Thank you for leaving such a stunning review. Please come again soon.
One of the best in the world!
Played golf all over and this course is up there with the best. The only drawback I personally experienced was being threatened by the general manaager, Mr Thompson, for no good reason whatsoever. He did NOT display his best customer service manners that day.
AWESOME!
I play Bella Collina every golf trip to Florida. It is one of my highlights of the year. This year we spent the whole day there taking advantage of the vistas, locker room of your dreams with showers and hot tubs, and great food offered. Make a day of it. The staff are great there. The course is very intimidating when you first see it but it plays very fair. Perfect conditions!I absolutely love the elevation changes and the unique desert style of this course. It is a real gem and a must play. Its my favorite course I've ever played. This is one Canadian that gives two thumbs up eh!
Thank you for the review! We're so glad you love your experiences at Bella Collina.
Fun Fun Fun!
Wow! I had a great time playing this course. Have never played before due to not so great impressions from others. I don't understand why though. I ended up staying at Mystic dunes resort and thought I might as well try the course. I'm glad I did... love the topography of the land. I love challenging holes and this course gives you a wide variety of that. Not difficult but never boring. Loved it! Will always play every year. Try it!
Bella Collina Dec 1 2019
Course was in excellent shape, greens seemed slow compared to our previous day at Orange County National where the greens were a at 12. Loved the elevation changes and course design even in the 17 MPH wind gusts. Rated a 4 for green speed and the fact that we had to walk thru puddles down to the range tees and this was the most expensive course we played in the week. Pace of play was 3:45 with a 3-some on a Sunday morning, course didn't seem busy There is a lot of sand, wide fairways and some blind tee shots. It was a little annoying to have to provide a drivers license to the lady at the gate and wait 5 minutes for her to do whatever she did since we were clearly dressed for golf. The Club house is as impressive as the website says but I was there for the golf.
Hello, Thank you so much for leaving us a review. We appreciate your feedback on your experience!
WOW
I have played many courses. This one is by fsr th best. Yes 90$ to play but it was well worth it. Course was in perfect condition. Amazing. I will definitely be back. This course makes Omni, Shingle Creek, and even disney look like a 3 star course.
Hello! Thank you so much for the excellent review! We're so glad you enjoyed your time on the course.
Wow!!
By far one of the best course I have played in Florida
Thank you for your rating! Come see us again soon.
Never fails
Never fails to impress. Tees, fairways and greens all in great condition considering the amount of rain endured over the past two weeks.
Staff friendliness and catering also faultless.
Thank you for your review! We are glad you love playing here and hope to see you again soon.
Hey there, Thanks so much for the review! We hope you can come out and play the course again soon.
Bella Collina
Place is incredible. Aside from the clubhouse, which was hands down the best clubhouse I have ever been in, the course was amazing.
Thank you for the review! We hope to see you out on the greens again soon.
Beautiful Challenge
This course is as scenic and challenging as the other reviewers have stated. Really friendly golf staff everywhere and great layout. First time playing there and by using their GPS and my laser, never hit at the wrong area. We will certainly be back, well worth the drive from Tampa or Orlando.
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with a review of your experience. We are pleased to hear that our team made your experience pleasant and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
Great Day
The course and facility are superb. Fairways and greens were in fantastic shape. Different layout than most courses in Florida. Actually has a lot of undulation and elevation changes. I played the member tees and it played 6,504 yards. Lots of waste bunkers and sand...you have to hit your line.
Thank you for leaving us a review! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the course and facility. We hope you come back and visit us again soon.
Rating of course
Fabulous corse.....worth the money....a true must to play....food was great
Thanks so much for leaving us a review! We're glad you enjoyed yourself and hope to see you again soon!
Over priced
For $170 this Golf course should be in much better shape. The greens are in good shape but slow compared to other high end courses in the area. In its current condition the price should be $100.00 or less. There are much better options for the money.
Too Pricey.
Played here some years back when they offered some Hot Deals for a reasonable price. I’ve noticef that they no longer post any Hot Deals & the $170 Rate is way too pricey for me to consider. Nice course & the Clubhouse is Fantastic but the $$$$ has to scare most players away compared to the many great Premium Courses that do offer some special discounted rates. Whenever I scan the available times both on weekdays & weekends, most to every
Time slot seems open. My ? Is :! Why don’t they adjust their pricing to attract more players???
Thank you for your feedback! We understand your point of view. The Bella Collina community was built and planned to be completely private. For years, that plan was not achievable for various reasons, but now we are proud to announce we are back on track! With over 25 new members since the first of the year and the opening of Siena, our 100-condo lodge property, tee times available for outside play are quickly diminishing. As a fan of Bella Collina and our golf course, however, we would like to offer you a complimentary pass to play as our guest in hopes that you'll know we appreciate your past support. Give us a call at 407-469-4915 to redeem. We look forward to seeing you!
Excellent!
I was fortunate to be paired with two others that had played already the course and that was a huge help as there are some tricky holes. The course was emaculate and the greens fast! Although the track is challenging you really have to screw up to lose a golf ball. Do not pass this by, well worth the money!!
Best of the best in Orlando area!
Annual golf trip to Orlando and we look forward to playing Bella Collina every year! Rolling hills and long vista's are combined with an outstanding routing and course conditions. We can't wait to play again next year!
Hi there! Thank you for the amazing review. We hope to see you again soon!
