Bay Hill Club & Lodge, site of this week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational on the PGA Tour, was designed by Dick Wilson and opened in 1961. Arnold Palmer took over a lease on the property in 1970, bought it in 1975 and tweaked the course multiple times over the years.
The site of a Tour event since 1979, Bay Hill ranks No. 8 in Florida on Golfweek’s Best Courses You Can Play list for public-access layouts. It also ties for No. 70 on Golfweek’s Best ranking of resort courses in the U.S.
Bay Hill will play to 7,381 yards with a par of 72 for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Check out these videos shot by Golfweek videographer Gabe Gudgel, who flew a drone over all 18 holes.
