Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club & Lodge

About the club

Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club & Lodge was first established in 1961 after being designed by Dick Wilson, with Robert Simmons serving as the project manager. Famed golfer Arnold Palmer first laid eyes on the golf course in 1965 and was immediately taken by its allure. Not long after, in 1976, Palmer became the owner and a resident. Bay Hill Club & Lodge is a private, member-only facility. While the club does not publicly disclose membership information, the club does host guest play and provides lodge accommodations, allowing limited access to non-members. 1.
