Bella Collina is Central Florida's nod to the rolling hills and rugged charm of the Italian countryside, a stark contrast to the area's typically flat landscape. The course plays long and favors a strategic player who can navigate the undulating fairways and deceptive elevation changes. Designed by Sir Nick Faldo, the course presents a modern challenge with wide fairways that narrow considerably around the greens, encouraging aggressive drives tempered by careful approach shots. The layout snakes through dramatic elevation changes, a rare find in Florida, offering both breathtaking views and demanding play. Water hazards lurk subtly, testing golfers' mettle without overwhelming the overall experience. While Bella Collina has not hosted major professional championships, it offers a challenging and visually striking golfing experience. The club cultivates a close-knit community drawn to the unique aesthetic and rigorous course.
