Bay Hill is midway between Universal Studios and the Disney Resorts in southwest Orlando.

The golf course is a classic Florida layout along broad fairways with various sand bunkers and numerous water hazards defending the fairways and greens, creating heroic strategies. From the tips, it plays to 7,267 yards, 75./137, and course/slope ratings with four shorter tees. Dick Wilson designed the course in the early 60s, but Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay tinkered with the course for years. It's the home of the annual PGA tour stop bearing Palmer's name and only open to guests of one of the 70 lodge rooms on site.
