Nestled behind the lined streets of elegant homes is the Arnold Palmer Bay Hill Golf and Lodge. The 280 acre property became a golf course in the 1960’s, followed by the Bay Hill community that currently surrounds the land. Arnold Palmer played and won a charity event at the course and fell in love with the property, so much so that he purchased the land in 1970. Since taking ownership, Palmer built upon the original vision, turning Bay Hill into the world-class facility that it is today.
