Bella Collina San Clemente

About Bella Collina San Clemente

You'll find this public track perched in the hills above San Clemente with some of the most dramatic elevation changes on the Orange County coast. The routing takes full advantage of the natural terrain, sending you up and down through canyons and ridgelines that offer glimpses of the Pacific on clear days. What sets Bella Collina apart from the typical municipal course is how the designer worked with rather than against the rugged topography – holes tumble downhill through native scrub and climb back up challenging slopes that will test both your course management and your stamina if you're walking. The 4.7 Google rating from over 120 reviews tells the story of a course that consistently exceeds expectations for a public facility in this price range. Conditions are surprisingly good for a daily-fee track, and the layout has enough variety and challenge to keep things interesting without being punitive. Walking is allowed here, which is increasingly rare in Southern California, though you'll want to save your legs for the back nine if you're planning to go on foot – those canyon holes can be unforgiving.
