The Bay Hill Club was built in 1961.  It was just four short years after that in 1965 when the "King of Golf", Arnold Palmer, played in and won a charity golf event on what was then an unknown golf course.   He fell in love with Orlando and Bay Hill that day and it became a part of him.  In 1970 the process began to make Bay Hill his own with a 5-year lease that ended with Palmer making it the Florida home he still frequents today.  By 1979 Mr. Palmer successfully created a tournament that became an official PGA TOUR stop, attracting some of the strongest fields of the season, now called the Arnold Palmer Invitational Presented by MasterCard which takes place annually in March.  Just like Arnold Palmer himself, Bay Hill is a charming, inviting, special place that features a comfortable 70-room Lodge, dining, full-service spa, the Arnold Palmer Golf Academy, 9000 square feet of meeting space and other world class amenities.  Bay Hill is located 20 minutes from downtown Orlando, close to theme parks, shopping and more.  For reservations call (888) 422-9445 or (407) 876-2429.
