The Course
Overview
Bay Hill is Arnold Palmer's legacy rendered in turf — a private club and lodge he acquired in 1975 and spent decades reshaping into one of Florida's most demanding tests. The course is genuinely hilly by Florida standards, with sinkhole ponds and elevation changes that punish imprecision throughout. The 18th is a dogleg par 4 with water running the length of the right side and a pond fronting the green — one of the most photographed closing holes in professional golf. Play is reserved for lodge guests and members.
