Martin Downs Golf Club (Osprey Creek)

Overview: Martin Downs Golf Club's Osprey Creek course is an 18-hole Palm City layout routed through native Florida terrain. The current scorecard record used here lists par 72 and 6,802 yards from the back tees, with five tee sets ranging from 4,327 to 6,802 yards. Charles Ankrom is consistently identified with the course, whose design uses trees, water and bunkering to frame the holes.

History: Osprey Creek was developed in the late 1970s and is commonly dated to 1981, after the earlier Martin Downs course. Charles Ankrom is credited as architect, although some older records also mention Arthur Young. The course has been associated with PGA Tour qualifying and U.S. Open qualifying, while the wider club has undergone ownership and renovation changes.

Did You Know? The Osprey Creek routing has been used for qualifying events and collegiate competition. The 2019 Martin Downs Collegiate, for example, was played here on a par 72 setup, giving the course a documented role beyond its regular club calendar.
