Arnold Palmer Invitational 2025 course
The Arnold Palmer Invitational 2025 will be held at the Bay Hill Club and Lodge in Orlando, Florida. Bay Hill Club was owned by Arnold Palmer from 1974 to the day of his passing in 2016. Afterwards, the ownership rights were transferred to his daughter, Amy Palmer, and his son-in-law, Roy Saunders.
The club has 27 holes available, divided among the Challenger, Champion, and Charger Nines. The Arnold Palmer Invitational is held on the former two courses. Dick Wilson designed the Challenger and Champion Nines, which has 72 pars and measures 7,381 yards long. The course rating is 75.2, while the slope rating is 138.
The 9th hole, a 480-yard par-4, is the hardest. In 2024, it was the 26th hardest hole on the Tour, measuring 0.177 strokes over par. The par-4 8th hole was No. 38, while the par-4 15th hole was the 34th Tour's hardest hole. Further, the design will change somewhat in 2025. There has long been a beach-like bunker in front of the green that extended into the water on the par-3 17th hole; in 2025, the sandy area is rocky. (via Sports Illustrated)
