Named after the abutting Butler Chain of Lakes and the hills that surround these basins and wetlands, the Bay Hill golf community evolved from a big tract of land that strangely, unlike the adjacent areas, couldn’t grow citrus. Acquired by visionary businessmen from its longtime and prominent owner, this large expanse was gradually built into one of the finest golf courses in the world – Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club and Lodge. Just as this private resort slowly developed, so did the neighborhoods around it steadily emerge.
Based along the Apopka Vineland and Sand Lake Roads, affluent and highly aspirational Bay Hill has a diversity of golf homes available – from golf condos and townhomes to single-family golf residences and sprawling golf estates. With the community’s close affinity with Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club and Lodge, ownership of a golf property and club membership affords easy access to the resort’s “best-of-the-best” amenities complimented by the staff’s distinct hospitality and warmth.
In addition to the combined 27-hole Championship and Challenger, plus Charger Courses, the club offers its esteemed members deluxe dining, grand-slam-grade tennis courts, a fitness, and wellness center, plus a marina that serves as the jump-off point for boating and bass fishing excursions. Aside from Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club and Lodge, other esteemed golf courses in Orange County include the Dubsdread Golf Course, the Hawks Landing Golf Course, the Interlachen Country Club, the MetroWest Golf Club, and the Rio Pinar Golf and Country Club.
If there’s one word that describes life in the Bay Hill community, it’s FUN! Just under a mile away, along a stretch of Sand Lake Road, is Restaurant Row. Two miles away is a shopping center for those everyday needs. Eleven miles farther is Downtown Orlando – bustling with its cosmopolitan venues for dining, shopping, nightlife, culture, and sports like the Dr. Phillips Center for The Performing Arts and the Camping World Stadium.
Located beside the Butler Chain of Lakes, owning a golf home at Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club and Lodge community makes it very convenient for water lovers to enjoy different aquatic activities such as kayaking, water skiing, boating, and fishing. But more than all these, Bay Hill hands, on a silver platter, the enviable opportunity to finally set foot on Orlando’s most famous attractions – Sea World, Universal Studios, and Disney World which, coincidentally, began construction just as Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club and Lodge was on the rise. Arriving at and departing from Bay Hill is also quite expedient since the community is about a twenty-minute drive from the Orlando International Airport.
Bay Hill is considered to be an ideal place to raise a family. Not only for the amazing, cinematic, and magical destinations for kids and for kids-at-heart. But also, because the neighborhood is close to Orange County public schools. Just within three miles are the Dr. Phillips Elementary School, the Southwest Middle School, and the Dr. Phillips High School.
World-class. Dynamic. Family-friendly. The three differentiating attributes that make Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club and Lodge the perfect choice for living, working, playing, and settling down.
