BAY HILL GOLF & SPA GUESTS HAVE CHANCE TO RETURN FOR COMPLIMENTARY STAY IN HONOR OF GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY
Plus, you’ll bring along three friends to join you for free
ORLANDO, FL (April 3, 2012) – The Fall of 2011 marked a 50 year tradition for Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge. Guests enjoyed a special celebratory package for golfers and spa goers that was such a success that Bay Hill created the 2012 Encore Package in response to guest demand to return this year on the same value-driven package. Now, by doing just that, guests who book a stay at Bay Hill on the Encore Package this year will automatically be entered in the Golden Anniversary Giveaway to win the grand prize of a complimentary return trip to Bay Hill for a 3 night golf getaway in 2013, along with 3 friends at no cost! The complimentary stay for this group of four people includes three nights lodge accommodations or a stay in one of Bay Hill’s Guest Houses, breakfast daily, 2 rounds of golf for the foursome, and a set of Callaway RAZR Golf Clubs with Bay Hill logoed golf bag for the grand prize winner -- a package valued just under $5,000. Non-guests who wish to enter can also do so by visiting www.bayhill.com. The drawing will take place on December 31, 2012.
The 2012 50th Anniversary Encore Package includes a comfortable guest room in the Lodge, full breakfast, a bottle of wine from the Arnold Palmer label, and choice of one round of championship golf or a soothing spa treatment. Guests will also receive the trademark umbrella logo pin which is the symbol of the Palmer brand around the world and a special keepsake Bay Hill Pin Flag. The Encore Package is offered from $165 - $295, per person, per night based on double occupancy (pricing varies with seasonality), making it surprisingly affordable to stay and experience this legendary venue where the PGA TOUR players love to compete in the Arnold Palmer Invitational Presented by MasterCard. Reservations can be made by calling (888) 422-9445 or visiting www.BayHill.com. (Applicable taxes not included.)
Located just 20 minutes from downtown Orlando, Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge is the site of the annual Arnold Palmer Invitational Presented by MasterCard golf tournament. The 70-room property features 27-holes of golf, the Arnold Palmer Golf Academy, tennis on four Har-tru and two DecoTurf courts, a full service spa and salon, fitness center, four dining locations, and 9,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space.
