Best of Arnold Palmer

By our rating

Arnold Palmer founded his design company with Ed Seay in 1972, and it built several hundred courses, most of them resort and community golf meant to be enjoyed by the weekly player. Bay Hill, the club Palmer owned in Orlando, is the exception: a tournament course he kept stiffening for decades as the host of his own PGA Tour event.
