History
Arguably one of the very best finishing holes in all of golf is the 18th at Bay Hill. Bay Hill was built in 1961 and originally conceived as a private getaway for its investors. The 18th hole is a true test of the mental fitness of your game. The fairway seems very wide, but your tee shot needs to be left of center to avoid having an approach over water to a challenging green. Hit it right off the tee, and things can go from bad to worse quickly. A lake guards the entire right side of this long, kidney-shaped green. A tee shot hit to the right-side requires a long, delicate approach entirely over water. It's unlikely you'll have a short enough club in hand to allow you to land the ball softly on a treacherously fast, and undulating green. Putts over 120 feet are possible here.
