Bella Collina is as opulent as they come. What surely must have been designed as a very exclusive private club, it fell prey to the economic downturn the year it opened. Fully serviced streets run throughout the golf course with nary a house to be seen. The handful of beautifully designed homes that have been built, all with the Tuscan theme, are reminiscent of the mute heads of Easter Island which stand starkly overlooking this beautiful golf course and what it was meant to be. The enormous clubhouse is simply lavish on all counts.

The golf course itself is wonderful. Choosing from six tee boxes, it plays as long as you dare play it. There are myriad bunkers that, for the most part are well maintained. Fairways are beautifully conditioned and greens are slick, challenging, and well protected.

There is a noticeably nearly total lack of water hazards which is very odd for a Florida golf course.

Situated in the Montverde area just north and east of Clermont, the golf course takes advantage of the considerable elevation changes (also odd for Florida golf) which makes it picturesque and fun to play.

I got on through a GolfNow Hot Deal and a promo code for about fifty dollars - a bargain for sure! A golf experience at Bella Collina is worth far more.

I would highly recommend Bella Collina and fully expect to return.

I had been meaning to play Sanctuary Ridge for a couple of years since it was recommended to me by another golfer. When I saw the Golf Now Hot Deal - I couldn't resist and now I wish I had played it sooner. What a wonderful course! Every hole is a delight. The course provides unique challenges and beautiful vistas - unlike anywhere else I've played in Central Florida. If you haven't tried Sanctuary Ridge, you owe it to yourself to play a round there. You won't be disappointed.

Unlike many Florida golf courses, The Palisades provides elevation changes that enhance the interesting and moderately challenging layout.
Golf Now Hot Deals got us on for a very reasonable price - I'm not sure if I would have felt that I got good value if we had paid the full regular green fee. There are just so many choices in the area.
The course was in good condition although a few of the greens had damage. Bunkers were in fair condition - but to be fair, it had rained shortly before we played.
Overall, we enjoyed our round on what we felt was a pretty good course for the money.

Course was in superb shape. Greens were not overly fast but ran very true. Nice that each hole is separate from others with no houses or other distractions. Staff is friendly and helpful. I managed to get on for $59 which from what I can tell is a bargain. Cheapest Disney offering I've found is $89. Kudos to Golf Now Hot Deals.

Rivendell is ALWAYS in geat shape - hats off to the grounds crew. This course offers a great mix of challenging and tough holes. A hidden gem to be sure. The staff are second to none in accommodating your every need. I would highly recommend it and plan on becoming a member next year.
