Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club & Lodge - Championship Course

Arnold Palmer's club and the March tour stop. The only way on is a room at the Lodge, which makes it the priciest round in the west but a real bucket-list one.

Before you book

Access	Private club: the club's golf page says the courses are 'available exclusively to members and to guests staying at our Lodge'. Staying at the Lodge is the only way in for a visitor; Lodge guests book tee times through the club (how far ahead was not published). Green fees for Lodge guests were not published on the page read.
Designer	Dick Wilson (1961); refined over decades by Arnold Palmer
Opened	1961
Style	Tour course in the Butler Chain lakes country: water on many holes, deep bunkers, firm greens; the 18th around the lake is the famous finish.
Drive from downtown Orlando	22 min (11.8 mi)
Phone	407-876-2429
Address	9000 Bay Hill Blvd, Orlando, FL 32819

Local knowledge

Lodge-only access: book the room and ask the Lodge for tee times at the same time.
About 15-20 minutes to Universal and 20-25 to the Disney parks (estimate, not routed), so a morning round and an afternoon park visit is realistic.
The club's 27 holes are the Championship 18 plus the Charger nine; the Charger is the easy way to add holes on an arrival or departure day.
