Osprey Point Accepts National “Municipal Golf Course of the Year Award” at NGCOA Conference

Palm Beach County Golf and the Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation Department proudly celebrated Osprey Point Golf Course's national achievement as the team officially accepted the 2026 NGCOA Municipal Course of the Year Award at the 2026 National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA) Golf Business Conference in Orlando on January 19.

The award was presented during the conference awards dinner by NGCOA CEO Jay Karen and NGCOA President Cathy Harbin. Representing Palm Beach County Golf, Golf Operations Supervisor Eric Rein and Parks Coordinator Tevin Ali accepted the plaque on behalf of the entire Osprey Point team.

Also in attendance were Osprey Point Golf Course Manager George Dixon and Assistant Golf Course Manager Joe Naylor who attended the 2026 Professional Golfers Association (PGA) show and joined the celebration.

The honor was first announced in December, when Osprey Point was recognized as the nation's top municipal golf facility among nearly 2,900 public courses across the United States. The award recognizes excellence in public golf through exceptional management, outstanding customer and community service, environmental stewardship and programs that grow the game.

"Kudos to the Osprey Point team, Palm Beach County Golf team and Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation team for their daily passion and dedication to the course. From pro shop staff and instructors to maintenance, volunteers, restaurant staff and management. Osprey Point stands as a proud example of what municipal golf can achieve.

We are grateful for this honor and energized to keep raising the standard for municipal golf," said Golf Operations Supervisor Eric Rein at the NGCOA Conference.
