Golf
Public PGA Tour golf courses and private clubs.
Bay Hill Champion Course
- In 1961 the 18 holes are completed and in 1965 Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus were invited for the inauguration where the King fell in love with the course and later, in 1976, bought the club and made it its operations center. Today Bay Hill is the permanent venue for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, bringing together the best players on the PGA Tour. A great course, one of the most difficult on the Tour with 2 very long par 3 to finish the round (14 and 17). Always in immaculate condition and with the fresh image of the Arnold Palmer Invitational tournament
