Okeeheelee Golf Course is a Palm Beach County-owned public golf facility in West Palm Beach with 27 holes arranged as three nine-hole layouts named Eagle, Osprey and Heron. The nines can be paired as Eagle/Osprey, Heron/Eagle or Osprey/Heron, so the facility should not be treated as a single nine-hole course. Florida State Golf Association rating data lists five tee colours for each combination and separate men's and women's ratings.
The facility opened in 1995; secondary historical sources credit Roy Case with the design. Palm Beach County describes extensive practice facilities including a driving range, a large putting green and dedicated chipping, pitching and bunker areas. Okeeheelee participates in the Audubon International Cooperative Sanctuary Program and was recognized as a Certified Sanctuary in 2008.
The course is a 27-hole golf course. Designed by Roy Case, the course originally opened in 1995. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Driving Range, Putting Green, Chipping Area, Pitching Area, Bunker Practice, Pro Shop, Golf Lessons, Club Hire.
Okeeheelee was developed as a Palm Beach County public golf facility and opened in 1995. The three-nine configuration was established as Eagle, Osprey and Heron, allowing the county to operate three different 18-hole combinations rather than a fixed front and back nine. Golf-course references credit architect Roy Case with the original design.
The facility sits within the wider Okeeheelee Park area west of central West Palm Beach.
The three-nine arrangement gives Okeeheelee unusual operational flexibility: Eagle, Osprey and Heron can be paired in different combinations, and each nine has multiple teeing options. The Florida State Golf Association maintains separate course and slope ratings for Eagle/Osprey, Heron/Eagle and Osprey/Heron rather than treating Okeeheelee as one fixed 18-hole routing.
Palm Beach County has continued investing in the facility after its 1995 opening. A multi-year restoration program addressed the three nines, including new putting surfaces and work to greenside bunkers and tees. County reporting described restoration beginning with Eagle and Osprey, followed by Heron.
Okeeheelee was also recognized by Audubon International as a Certified Cooperative Sanctuary in 2008.
Okeeheelee's environmental program resulted in Audubon International Cooperative Sanctuary recognition in 2008.
The course remains owned and operated by Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation as a public, year-round golf facility. Alongside the 27 holes, it provides a driving range, large putting area and dedicated short-game practice facilities, with public tee times available online.
