Golf lovers at any age and skill level challenge their skills at the sprawling Bay Hill Club and Lodge resort, which established the Arnold Palmer Golf Academy to teach the fundamentals according to Palmer and his philosophy of the game.

nice hotel

We went to universal and disney quest while staying here. It was in a good location about half-way between the two. The beds were comfy and the room was very nice. Additionally, the staff was very friendly and helpful. We stayed several days, it would have been nice to have a fridge and coffee maker, but coffee was available every morning. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!!! Excelllent!

Outstanding first class hotel

My wife and I stayed at the Lodge for a 3 night getaway. The Hotel was first class, from the personalize service at the attentive front desk, to the 5 star dining, to the spa, Bay Hill Lodge was simply outstanding. I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel to anyone.

Great place to stay!!!!

Be sure to try the pizza. It was the best pizza my friend and I thought it the best ever. Fire baked. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our patio off the golf course. Lovely, clean and quiet room.

Hôtel confortable

Hôtel très agréable et confortable, belles chambres calmes. Très bel environnement. Seul regret, ne pas disposer de réfrigérateur dans la chambre pour des boissons fraîches. A recommander. A noter que comme dans la plupart des hôtels des USA, le personnel ne parle pas français. Dommage pour un non bilingue.

ホテル滞在中の部屋の掃除は少し担当者によってバラツキがありよ

ホテル滞在中の部屋の掃除は少し担当者によってバラツキがありよくない日もあった。アメニティはホテル内にあるスパのものでよかったです。ゴルフをするならとても良い環境でまた滞在したいホテルです。
