I will always remember my first time playing Bay Hill. Arnold Palmer was always my Father's favorite and my middle name is Palmer because of Arnie. So when I was invited to play Bay Hill in 1992 with some colleagues I jumped at the opportunity.

My foursome approaches the first tee and the starter gives us some instruction, then as we are preparing to hit our tee shots, here comes the King himself along with about ten other gentlemen all wearing suits and they proceed to stand directly behind the first tee and watch us all tee off. Fortunately, we all made good contact and I actually hit a good drive in the fairway.

Bay Hill ranks in the top ten of all golf courses I have played. This course is excellent in layout, conditions, service, etc. You will thoroughly enjoy your Bay Hill experience, GUARANTEED!
