Martin Downs Golf Club's Osprey Creek course occupies land in Palm City, a community in Martin County on Florida's Treasure Coast between West Palm Beach and Fort Pierce. The course was designed by Charles Ankrom and Arthur Young, architects who worked extensively in Florida during the residential golf development boom of the 1980s and 1990s. The design reflects the region's flat coastal plain topography, with routing that incorporates natural wetlands, preserve areas, and the water features common to South Florida golf. The course serves a residential community and provides a daily-fee option in a region where private clubs dominate the golf landscape. The layout navigates through native vegetation and around lakes and marshes that are both natural hazards and wildlife habitat. Ospreys, herons, and other wading birds are regular presences along the fairways, consistent with the course's name and the broader ecosystem of the St. Lucie River watershed. Ankrom and Young's design work in Florida typically emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while respecting environmental constraints. At Osprey Creek, the routing allows golfers to experience the characteristic landscape of the Treasure Coast—palmetto scrub, pine flatwoods, and wetland edges—within a layout that balances challenge and accessibility. The course functions as both a neighborhood amenity and a public access point for golf in Martin County, where options outside private membership have historically been limited.
