Bay Hill Club & Lodge - Charger Course
About
The Bay Hill Club & Lodge is owned by golf legend, Arnold Palmer. Palmer first played the courses at Bay Hill in 1965 and was so smitten with them that he bought Bay Hill in 1976. It is said that he still frequently plays the courses. Located on the shores of the Butler Chain of Lakes, the courses at Bay Hill provide a challenging game as well as beautiful scenery. Although the course is not technically hilly there are still some elevation changes. The Charger Course features many bunkers and also a layout of mounding that Palmer designed. Placid lakes also come into play on many holes.

Great 9-hole course!
The Charger is a nice warmup before you get out onto the main course at Bay Hill. It is definitely challenging and a solid 9-hole layout, not like some other 9-hole courses you may find.
If you are unable to play the Championship course or just want to get out for a few holes, this is a great alternative.
Bay Hill has great practice facilities and food, I highly recommend it!
