Gleneagles Country Club is proud to announce that it has been named Best Private Golf Course in Palm Beach County, in the Palm Beach County Community Choice Awards by the Palm Beach Post.
The Community Choice Awards are determined by the number of votes received in each category. Over 165,000 votes were cast in all the awards categories this year. Club staff accepted the award at a ceremony held on March 19 at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach in front of a sold-out crowd of 750 community leaders. The award was announced by Miss Florida, Casana Fink.

The Best Private Golf Course distinction reflects not only the exceptional quality and playability of Gleneagles’ championship courses—Legends and Victory—but also the club’s vibrant golf culture and dedication to an inclusive and welcoming experience for golfers of all skill levels.
“This award is a true testament to the hard work, pride, and commitment to excellence that our golf course maintenance team demonstrates every single day,” said Jason Bagwell, Director of Golf Course Maintenance at Gleneagles Country Club. “Many of our agronomic specialists and heavy equipment operators have been here for 10, 20, even 30 years, and their passion for what they do is truly inspiring. I am very proud of this incredible team.”
In addition to pristine course conditions, Gleneagles is recognized for its commitment to fostering a welcoming and engaging golf environment. The club’s golf professionals curate an extensive tournament schedule and promote a culture of fun, approachable, and inclusive play for all members. With 13 sets of tee boxes, Gleneagles ensures that golfers of every ability level—from beginners to seasoned players—can enjoy the game at their own pace.
“The Best Private Golf Course award is about more than just the innovative design and pristine playing conditions of the course. It represents the entire golf experience we create for our members,” said Joe DeMino, PGA, Director of Golf at Gleneagles Country Club. “Our golf professionals work tirelessly to deliver exciting tournaments, instructional programs, and a welcoming culture that makes golf accessible and enjoyable for everyone who walks through our doors.”
This recognition further solidifies Gleneagles Country Club’s reputation as a premier country club in Palm Beach County. The club remains committed to continuous innovation and excellence, ensuring that members and guests enjoy the finest golfing experience possible.
