Beautiful clubhouse, course not so much

As I entered the club I don't know if I have seen such a clubhouse on a public course. That being said, I wouldn't recommend this course for a high handicap. I played in a foursome of a 6, 11 and two 21 handicaps. The high handicaps had a hard time with the lies and all the bunkers. The course is very difficult with no level landing areas. Uneven lies are part of the game, but when paying $100, I do expect very good course conditions which wasn't there. Money would be better spent on the course instead of other areas.

We thank you for joining us out here at Bella Collina. We are not a public course, rather a Private club that allows outside guest play depending on what is available during the day. We are sorry to hear that conditions may of been less than desirable. During this time we were preparing for the season with our annual overseed process, we hope that you join us again to see us in our peak course conditions.

Great Course Very Enjoyable

Found this course on Golfadvisor.com with great reviews and decided to try it for our end of season golf trip to Orlando. It was everything and then some. Well laid out course that was very fair and fun to play. Staff were great at bag drop and in Proshop. Club house is like a mini Italian village with the 19th hole across the cobbled alleyway from the proshop.
Will come back here every year for a round.

Must play if in Orlando area

3rd time playing this gem. Fantastic layout, bring your long game. Very hilly for South Florida course, only flat stance was in the pro shop while checking in. Some reachable par 4's are fun but several par 4's required woods or long irons on approach. Check with pro shop and make sure you play right tee box Course has some teeth. 9th hole is stupid hard, if not impossible, and is one blemish on an otherwise perfect course. Other issue is length from red tees. My wife was very frustrated hitting driver 3-wood 3-wood on all the par 5's and unable to reach most of the par 4's. She also had to hit driver on one of the par 3's.

Crazy tough!

Played this course for the first time and it was extremely impressive. The course is not for the faint of heart nor for someone who don't fair well in sand. The traps on this course were an average of 30 feet across and 10 ft deep. There were also a lot of blind shot dog legs, which left for some interesting approach shots. Over all this course was in fantastic shape and the greens were articulated and challenging. If you're ever in Montverde play this course.

A Must Play in Central Florida!!

Played there this morning and i have to say i was extremely pleased by the condition of the course and the layout. It is challenging long, be sure to choose your tee box correctly. Lots of bunkers on fairways and protecting greens. Just an absolutely wonderful course to play. 19th hole food and beer was great as well.

Not expected, not a complainer.

Pros - Course and conditions above average, club house and staff above average. Highly recommend this course for these reasons.

Cons - Grounds crew less than stellar, running equipment and yelling at each other while trying to hit a shot. Wouldn't expect this kind of behavior on a Saturday or for this caliber and cost of a course.

I excused it the first time, this is the second time it's happened.

Pack a lunch

This place is very beautiful and very tough. . There's no water on the course and it's pretty wide open; however it's hilly and the greens are big and fast. You will have a level lie on the tees box don't count on much more than that. The clubhouse looks amazing from most places on the course. Staff was great!!! Only complaint is rocks in the sand totally unacceptable. I just took relief from those traps and I would not let that keep me from enjoying this course. This was the most elevation changes I've played in a long time and the course won in the beginning, I did manage to play last 5 holes to par and left happy.

great track, but was in so so shape

I have played here many times and this was a disappointing trip. The greens were not good, they had just verticut them and when you had to putt with the grooves in the greens it was not good at all!!
The rest of the course was in good shape, except for the bunkers which were full of rocks which is complete garbage. I understand why so many golf courses have stated using this garbage sand in their bunkers but they have to know that it ruins the playing experience. Golf clubs are not cheap and I'm not about to ruin mine by gouging the faces of my clubs by hitting out of this nonsense.
The weather was spectacular (other than the high winds) and the food in the 19th hole was once again very good.
I hope that they get their spit together and get this course back to where it once was, which was awesome!!

Bella Collina

This is a great venue! A very challenging course but a great layout. Not many courses are out there that i could play every week and not tire of them, but this is one that would never get old. The only negative was the greens were still filling in, but they rolled very well. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming.

The facilities are second to none. I suggest everyone get out there and enjoy this gem before it goes 100% private.

Great Track!

What a find on Golf Now. High caliber golf at a very reasonable price. It was super quiet the day I was out and it made the course seem like it was out in the country. This isn't one of those Florida courses that winds through the housing development. Worth the drive!

Unique and Good Course

BC was a most interesting golf course. Absolutely NO water on a Florida golf course?The layout is outstanding!! Very similar to my Country Club in NJ. Elevation changes where side hill lies are the norm. The Clubhouse is incredible, & I can see this facility going Private one day. Terrific Driving Range.
Two areas of improvement are required here. It seemed there were small bits of gravel in every bunker - not sure why that was the case. Secondly the greens, which I thought needed more grass on them. Perhaps the greens were still a bit dormant.
Had lunch after my round, where the food & service were both very good. Overall, this was a very good experience.

Not my cup of tee

We were looking forward to playing as we had read good reviews. Because of the high(ish) expectations, we were underwhelmed. Big property, too many blind holes/tee shots. Some really good holes, but overall can't say I enjoyed it greatly. Greens were disappointing, and overall course conditions weren't up to par. There are supposed to be homes running throughout the property, but looks like the $$ ran out. I think I'd like it less with the homes, but at least that would give some definition and not look like such a big, empty space with holes on it.

Nice Course

People are very friendly and the driving range is excellent. It takes over 30 mins to get there from downtown Orlando. For golfing, it's a very nice course to play. It was very windy but was in great condition. My friend didn't play and went to spa with his wife instead. He was very unhappy with the spa - the amenities were poor. He claimed it was not setup as 'professional' environment. Too bad.
