Okeeheelee Golf Course

Okeeheelee Golf Course operates as a public facility in West Palm Beach, serving the golf community in Palm Beach County. The property features two eighteen-hole courses, Heron and Eagle, both designed by Roy Case, a Florida-based architect who worked extensively on municipal and daily-fee layouts throughout the state during the latter decades of the twentieth century. The courses occupy land within the broader Okeeheelee Park complex, which includes recreational amenities beyond golf. The Heron and Eagle courses reflect the characteristics typical of South Florida public golf: relatively flat terrain shaped by water management features, with lakes and canals integrated into the routing both for drainage purposes and strategic interest. Palm trees and native vegetation frame the holes, and the courses are designed to accommodate golfers of varying skill levels through multiple tee options. The layout emphasizes accuracy over distance on many holes, as water hazards come into play with regularity. As a county-operated facility, Okeeheelee serves a broad demographic of local residents and visitors seeking accessible golf in the West Palm Beach area. The courses provide straightforward tests of golf without severe elevation changes or extreme length, making them suitable for everyday play. The setting within a larger park environment gives the property a recreational rather than exclusive character, and the facility focuses on providing functional golf at public rates in a region where private clubs dominate much of the high-end market.
