27 Holes of Great Golf

The pristine 18-hole championship course at Bay Hill is spread over 270 acres of land just ashore of the Butler Chain of Lakes. With excellent weather most months of the year, Bay Hill provides an excellent weekend away for golfers with plenty of activities for non-golfers in the vicinity. Here are some highlights of the golf course:

• The par 5 fourth and sixteenth holes provide golfers with great birdie opportunities, provided that players lay-up correctly with conservative tee shots.

• The third and sixth holes are set on opposite sides of a round lake, providing both a scenic backdrop and a water hazard that calls for careful approach shots on these holes.

• The final hole is flanked by a large lake on the right, with three bunkers guarding the green. If played well, this hole can provide a scenic ending to any round of golf.
