Bay Hill Club

A Dick Wilson course.

The course


Carved from rolling Florida terrain by architect Dick Wilson in 1961, Bay Hill became Arnold Palmer's home club after he purchased it in the 1970s and shaped it into a championship test. Since 1979 it has hosted the Arnold Palmer Invitational, where water guards the closing stretch and the par-4 18th regularly decides the tournament.

Signature hole: The par-4 18th finishes over water to a kidney-shaped green fronted by rocks, long regarded as one of the toughest closing holes on the PGA Tour.
