Club Recommendations
High Handicapper (200+ yards):
Off the tee, aim for the right side of the fairway to avoid getting blocked by trees on your second shot. With a shorter drive, you may have to consider laying up before the water hazard that guards the green. Keep in mind that wind conditions can greatly affect your approach shot and potentially land you in one of the five bunkers surrounding the green.
Mid Handicapper (~230+ yards):
Aim for a straight drive towards the right side of the fairway to set yourself up for an easier second shot. With longer distance off the tee, you may be able to clear some of those bunkers guarding this hard dogleg left hole. However, make sure to take into account any potential wind conditions that could push your ball towards trouble.
Low Handicapper (280+ yards):
With a long drive off this tee box, it's possible for low handicappers to reach this par 5 in two shots. Aim down towards where this hole takes its sharp turn left and utilize your length off-the-tee advantage with accuracy as well as taking into consideration any wind conditions affecting your approach shot.
Weather Considerations:
Orlando is known for its hot and humid climate throughout all four seasons which can affect ball flight distances due to air density changes at sea level altitude. In addition, strong winds are common at Bay Hill Club & Lodge so keep an eye out on weather forecasts before teeing off.
Percent Bunkers on Green:
With only 2% bunker coverage on this relatively large green area, don't let fear hold back aggressive approaches when playing from any handicap range.
