About this course
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.

Getting there
The journey to Bella Collina Golf Club begins at Orlando International Airport, a convenient forty-minute drive west into the rolling terrain of Lake County. The route traces the northern shore of Lake Apopka before climbing into the gently undulating landscape that distinguishes this corner of Central Florida from the flatlands closer to the coast. As the highway gives way to tree-lined boulevards and the first glimpses of citrus groves appear, the approach to Montverde signals a transition into quieter, more refined territory - culminating at the guarded gates of Bella Collina, where Tuscan-inspired architecture crowns the highest elevations between Orlando and the Gulf.
