Bay Hill Club & Lodge
Orlando, FL — Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando, Florida, is an iconic course with a rich history, originally designed by Dick Wilson in 1961 and later shaped by Arnold Palmer. Wilson's design philosophy was rooted in strategic, aerial play, utilizing elevation changes and natural Florida terrain. Palmer, who purchased the club in 1975, transformed it into a demanding championship test, making it home to the Arnold Palmer Invitational since 1979. The course is renowned for its challenging layout, particularly its formidable finishing holes. While the 18th hole is arguably one of the best finishing holes in golf, the 13th, a 356-yard par 4, is considered the number one handicap hole. Bay Hill has hosted numerous PGA Tour events and witnessed victories from golf legends like Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. Its blend of strategic design, championship history, and the enduring legacy of Arnold Palmer makes Bay Hill a premier golf destination.
