Rating 77.0

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.

Not a Flat Lie on the Course

This course is also located within an exclusive residential development that didn't pan out, but it's phenomenal in spite of the real estate bust. Beauitful golf course, facility/clubhouse, and great staff. Not sure what Sir Nick was thinking when the tips are 7600 and you always get a side hill type of lie. Some blind tee shots add to the anticipation/anxiety factor this course provides. It's also kinda soggy in parts. I play this when it's affordable.

Challenging track with sloping fairways, large and deep bunkers and large undulating greens.

Challenging track. Bunkers are deep, large and intimidating. Sloping fairways can be very frustrating. 18th hole can punish even a great drive. I love playing this course.

Tough Course

Well maintained but difficult for the avg. golfer. Tees are too far back for 12+ hdcp. Greens are hard to hit from fairway because of elevation and bunkers for avg. golfer. Excellent for low hdcp.

Bella Colina: A True Gem

Played on Labor Day. $45.00 and it included range balls, unlimited golf and lunch. The course conditioning is very good. Fairways lush, bunkers well manicured, greens fully plush running about 9-10 on the stimp with lots of slope and mulitple tiers. All the holes are unique and memorable. Pace of play was fantastic, 3.5 hours for our 4 some and never waited on one shot. The clubhouse is something out of the movies, looks like your in another country, maybe Italy, Spain, or France. The lunch was wonderful as well, a gourmet style burger and fries, and it was huge. I took half of it home. If this course was a bit closer to the city you wouldn't be able to get on it or probably afford it. 5 stars.

This course was in great shape with a super friendly staff. A must play for anyone in the Orlando area.

This is a beautiful, highly manicured golfing paradise. The friendly staff will not let you down and you will be impressed from the time you drive through the guard house. Be ready to for some very challenging holes and a wonderful experience.

Hills In Florida!

This course is truly a hidden jewel. From the enormous clubhouse to the incredible views, this course has earned my repeat play.
The staff are professional, courteous, and cordial. As you enter the gates you know you have arrived at a special place.
There are all sorts of nice things about Bella that separate it from the rest of the pack. The views, a cooler filled with complimentary water, access to an incredible clubhouse, delicious meals, and a fair challenge all make for a very memorable golf outing.
In summary, this is one of the finest courses I have ever had the pleasure of playing. It has to be played and experienced to be believed.

Beautiful Challenging Course

First, the guard checks you out, and a cart-guy meets you in the parking lot, calls you by name, and gives instructions to enjoy the service & ammenities at Bella Colina. The club house is awesome: Men's Locker Room & Men's Grill just outstanding. The range & practice facility outstanding; then you move to the course, which is not your typical flat Florida course. The terrain is very hilly --sand ridge out west of Orlando in Clermont area --and elevation changes & views are spectacular. Greens are huge and fast with different levels, and their must be more than 300 huge bunkers... There are fairway bunkers, waste bunkers, and steep bunkers along every hole, so it is wise to hit extra club & not let ego take control of yardage & club choices.

It worth the 35 minute drive from Disney to play this great course!
