Golf · Southwest Orlando
Bay Hill
Golf country southwest of the city: houses along fairways and ponds, ten minutes from the restaurants on Sand Lake Road.
- The houses
- Fairway houses, many rebuilt
- The pace
- Early mornings, quiet evenings
- Getting around
- About 20 minutes to downtown Orlando
- It suits
- Golfers, of course, and anyone who wants a long green view without the upkeep of acreage.
The course
The club here hosts a well-known professional tournament every March. The rest of the year the course belongs to its members and their neighbors, and many houses back straight onto a fairway.
The houses
Mostly one and two story houses from the 1970s onward, a good number rebuilt in recent years, on lots that look across the course and its ponds.
Daily life
Early tee times, evening walks along the cart paths once play ends, and an easy drive to dinner on Sand Lake Road.
