Okeeheelee Golf Course

Okeeheelee Golf Course operates as a municipal facility in West Palm Beach, serving the public golf market in Palm Beach County. The course was designed by Roy Case, a Florida-based architect who worked on numerous projects across the state during the latter decades of the twentieth century. Case's designs typically reflect the practical demands of high-volume public play while working within the flat topography and water management requirements common to South Florida golf course development. The Eagle to Osprey designation indicates a specific nine-hole routing within the facility's overall layout. Okeeheelee features multiple nines that can be combined in different configurations, a common arrangement at municipal complexes designed to maximize tee time availability and accommodate varying skill levels. The course sits within Okeeheelee Park, a large county recreation area that includes other athletic facilities and natural areas, providing a parkland setting amid the suburban sprawl of West Palm Beach. The routing works through relatively level terrain characteristic of the region, with water hazards playing a significant role in the design both for strategic purposes and stormwater management. Palm trees and native vegetation frame many holes. As a public course in a densely populated area, Okeeheelee serves a diverse membership base and sees steady play year-round, particularly during the winter months when South Florida golf is at its peak. The facility offers accessible golf in a region known for its concentration of private clubs and resort courses.
