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!

Great Service

The room was immaculate. The service staff all was extremely friendly. Very Cozy and quiant away from the hustle and bustle of Disney; but still only a short drive away from Mickey as well! We would definitely go here again!

Beautiful and spotless

This hotel is just a few minutes from Universal and Islands of Adventure, but you feel like you are out in the country. The grounds are beautifully manicured and our room and bathroom were beautiful and best of all spotless.

Elegant Luxury at a great Price

The initial description was for a two bedroom suite. When we (myself, my wife and 2 kids) got there we were pleasantly surprised that the two bedroom suite was actually a beautiful two bedroom single family HOUSE on a fresh water canal. About 2500sf with every thing you can imagine. Very clean with full size kitchen, family room, Florida room, 2 master bedrooms.... It was close to Disney (9 minutes), 2 minutes from the hotel lobby by car. AAAAA+++++

Lovely Orlando Hide-away

Truly enjoyed our stay at the Arnold Palmer Bay Hill Lodge. The lodge is a nice quiet oasis from the hustle and bustle of Orlando. Our room overlooked the beautiful golf course. Staff was friendly and courteous. Food was deliciious.
