BELLA COLLINA TOWNE & GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 San Clemente, CA, USA
Designed by Gary Player

Bella Collina Towne & Golf Club sits in the coastal hills of San Clemente in southern Orange County, where the terrain offers elevation changes and views toward the Pacific Ocean. Gary Player designed the course, which opened in the late 1990s as part of a residential community development. The layout works with the natural contours of the landscape, incorporating the rolling topography characteristic of this part of coastal Southern California.
The routing takes advantage of the property's elevation shifts, with holes moving through canyons and across ridgelines. Player's design philosophy typically emphasizes strategic bunkering and risk-reward opportunities, and the course features these elements within the constraints of the residential setting. The climate allows for year-round play, and the coastal influence moderates temperatures compared to inland Southern California courses.
Bella Collina operates as a semi-private facility, serving both members and outside play. The course caters primarily to the local San Clemente community and golfers from the broader Orange County area. While not a tournament venue or nationally ranked layout, it represents one of the golf options in a region with substantial competition from both public and private courses. The club includes typical amenities associated with residential golf communities in Southern California, including dining facilities and practice areas.
