Bella Collina Golf Club

I would recommend a visit purely to enjoy the clubhouse and facilities.
Paid $40 dollars each through Golfnow.
Course layout interesting, not as tricky as some have implied but the greens were awful. It poured with rain on the 13th and we were not sorry to get back to the clubhouse.
I do not understand spending so much money on the clubhouse and letting the course deteriorate??

This is a great difficult course to play for Central Florida. I've played it several times and enjoyed it every time. The course quality has consistently gotten worse, especially the greens. I'd play it again, but only for reduced rates.

Bella Collina is not your typical Orlando-area course. It reminds me of courses in central Texas - firm and hilly with scrub-brush if you stray well off the fairway.

This place is in the boondocks, but GPS navigation makes it easy to find. It's clear upon arrival that Bella Collina has aspirations of being a highly exclusive golf club. The clubhouse is wonderful and almost like a small village. Must have cost at least $5 million to build. Staff is friendly and abundant, practically falling over each other there are so many.

The course design is interesting and challenging. A few blind shots, but nothing to worry about. Out of 6 sets of tees, 3 of them measure 6900+, which seems like a waste. Bunkers aplenty, especially off the tee. The course conditions are good, but nothing to brag about. Tons of annual bluegrass at this time of year; I suppose it will die off as the weather gets hotter.

Paid $75 on GolfNow, which I consider a good deal. Rack rate is $125, which would be a little steep for what you get.

Very enjoyable round of golf. Would definitely play it again.

This is a remarkable golf course. Make sure you pick the correct tee box for your game. This course will give you all want for a challenge. It is unfortunate that the course conditions were not up to the normal standards when I played there. The greens had been punched a couple of weeks prior to my play and had not completely healed. They still rolled halfway decent. The course was a little dry and not in it's best shape. I would absolutely play there again any time that I get the opportunity to play at a decent rate. You will not believe that you are in Florida when playing this course. It is more hilly than several courses that I have played in the Southeast. Anything $50 or less is a must play here! When the conditions are better I would take that number to $75. You will not find a course that will WOW you like this one does often. From the drive up to the clubhouse, all of the amenities and the course layout, it is remarkable.

nick faldo's name is associated with this course but i can't see a pro or designer coming up with a gimmick course.yes i know this is a hilly part of florida but do you really have to move earth to try to make it as difficult as possible.a lot of money went into designing this course and a ton put into clubhouse and the extra amenities put why don't they use it to maintain the course,the greens were bad.too many blind shots and to top it off too much slope in fairways to layup on many holes or to hit to a preferred yardage.as for scenic views only the ninth and eighteenth gave a desirable memory,the rest of the course was too many sights of traps and undeveloped property.if you get this at 30 ok but i wouldn't pay more again.it took 3 holes for the gps system to kick in,i was supposed to get range balls,no one to direct you to where to get carts,where to park or directions to first tee.there's a course in north lake county called harbor hills that is just as scenic and a much fairer golf course at half the price.that is where bella collina should have sent their designers to show what you can do on a hilly piece of property and not come up with goofy golf.

Beautiful layout, great vistas. Challenging course for sure; what was Nick Faldo thinking putting so many sand traps on one golf course! A lot of fun to play, but greens need work (as we experienced on most courses we played during our 1 week golf vacation in April). Of note is the amazing club house, bar, restaurants, facilities; we felt like we were in Italy.

Oneof best course I have played, beautiful layout, very tuff but I love it. Plus scenic view is amazing.

The weather was great on this day and I had high expectations for this golf course. The pro shop and 19th hole were excellent. The golf course is unnecessarily penal in that a shot that is placed in the middle of the fairway will find itself off of the fairway and in a waste bunker. Nearly every hole has a fair way that slopes left to right. Yes, I said nearly every hole slopes left to right meaning that you need to aim off the golf course in order to have any chance of finding your ball in the fairway. The other thing about this course is that there are tees on this golf course that are unplayable for the average golfer and would make this course challenging even for a tour pro. The back tees are 7600 yards and the members tees are 6600 yards.Did I mention that the member tees are three sets forward from the back? Absolutely ridiculous!! If you pay more than $50 you have wasted your money.

I have played golf in over 40 countries worldwide and Bella Collina rates up there as one of the finest & difficult tests of golf anywhere. The bunkering, the slopes, the grandeur, the varied greens and the length of the course are awe inspiring. This course is so difficult that I would not like it as a member's every weekend game course. But as an occasional treat, it is unsurpassed.

It was a little difficult finding the golf course but it was worth the drive just outside of Orlando. One of the few courses in Central Florida that has elevation changes throughout the golf course. Will use all the clubs in your bag. I believe there are 6 sets of tees for every level of golfer. Greens were rolling true but need to read grain of grass as it can get visually challenging on the greens. We played on a weekday which was a great value for the money. The club is private but are allowing outside play until the membership is full. Definitely going back. FYI wait till you see the clubhouse....wow.

was a challenge with a lot of dofferent holes it is a course not for novice golfers

Really good course and close to Orlando. Several blind shots. No water in play. Lots of bunkers. Almost $24 for two hotdogs was a little unexpected. Course was not in the best shape but very playable.

Overall a nice place. Great staff friendly courteous. Course is challenging. Greens were below average today but in past have been good. We will come back again.

Well worth the drive in past years but the greens were very sandy and need work. Great layout and excellent service made up for bumpy greens.

This was our first time playing Bella Collina Golf Course. Wow, what an experience. The course winds its way through some beautiful, hilly, Orlando countryside. Yes, I did say hilly and Orlando. The area was originally orange groves, and in fact there are still lots of orange groves in the area.

The clubhouse complex is amazing. It looks like an Italian villa sitting on a hill, and yes, it does look just like the pictures on the website. It’s gorgeous. The pro shop is relatively small and not much selection for either men or women. Be sure to check out the locker rooms! The staff is very attentive and helpful. The starter, Willy, had lots of good advice that you would do well to listen to. The course is challenging, but it doesn't beat you up.

The course has a TON of sand. If you’re anything like me, your sand game will be much improved at the end of the round, or you’ll go buy a new sand wedge. The golf carts have a GPS and course info. I would suggest the course invest in larger screens. The small size makes it hard to see in the bright sunlight. The on course bathrooms are in the same style as the clubhouse and beautiful. They are the nicest on course bathrooms I’ve ever seen. Definitely two thumbs up for female friendliness!

The on course beverage and food cart was well stocked, and the staffer very pleasant. They have a 19th Hole Restaurant, but we had to get home and didn’t have a chance to try it out. This was a really nice golf experience. We’ll definitely play this one again!

Great layout. Bunkers are plentiful, but golfers don't take the time to rake them. Would recommend to others.

Great views and incredible facility. Very difficult first time due to numerous sand traps

Great course, nice staff. Pace of play was quick. Replay deal was awesome.

Worth the drive out to Montverde. Beautiful, challenging course. Make sure you wander around the clubhouse.

Challenging but fair. Good course and friendly staff.
